Another productive week here on Alphonse with some returning guests and some new faces. Unfortunately, we had some very trying conditions with lots of wind and rain, but we all persevered through, and the guests caught some memorable fish throughout the course of the week at Alphonse Island!
Starting with the ghosts of the flats, Ed, Marcin, Anita, and Bryce all caught their first bonefish onfly. The GTs were definitely out and about this week, with Patrick landing the GT of the week, measuring a healthy 105 cm. Not only was this a healthy catch, but it was also Patrick’s personal best. He also managed to land another GT later in the week.
Mike, Paul, Keith, and Richard all also managed to land two GTs each this week. David took it further and managed to add another GT to his tally during the week. Marcin took his first swing at fishing in the salt this week and managed his first GT, and an awesome one at that, measuring 101 cm. He also caught another two on the last day he was fishing Alphonse.
Ed also caught his first giant trevally this week, landing a lovely 82 cm fish. In terms of the more knifing species, Mike managed to land a nice moustache triggerfish, and James managed to land the holy grail of fly fishing, a lovely Indo-Pacific permit on the last day. He also managed to land an awesome bluefin of 68 cm.
All in all, a successful week of fishing, considering the conditions. Well done to all our guests for some excellent catches. Next week’s weather is looking phenomenal, and the fishing has been fantastic, so stay tuned for next week’s report.
