HIGHLY PRIZED SPECIES MADE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING CATCHES

Great fishing was experienced on the St. Francois Atoll last week as the quarter moon approached. The week started with the transition from a neap to a spring tide, and some very eager anglers were keen to wet their lines and bend their rods. The weather has been absolutely brilliant, with very little to no wind making conditions quite hot and challenging; however, this didn’t stop the anglers from landing some absolutely amazing catches.

The anglers haven’t been too keen to target bonefish but instead opted to focus on the other highly prized species found around St Francois and Alphonse. The Haworth family has been fishing exceptionally well over the last few weeks. The entire family has sharpened their skills and managed to land some amazing GTs over the week. This week Mike Haworth has managed to land a 65 cm, 70cm, 78 cm, and 89 cm GT. Nick Haworth has also done superbly, giving Mike a good run for his money, landing a 65 cm and a beautiful 84 cm GT.

We are lucky enough to be joined by Team Fathom Offshore for the next month. Keith English and his crew have had some bright flats fishing in between their blue water expeditions in search of the mighty marlin. Keith started his week off with a bang, managing to land his first 45 cm yellowmargin triggerfish. Keith decided to try his luck on a surf walk a few days later and managed to land a 70 cm and 75 cm GT in one session. On the same surf walk, LP managed to land his very first GT on a fly measuring a brilliant 75 cm. Captain Matt managed to land his first GT on fly, measuring 73 cm, and his first mate Rasmus managed to land a brilliant 75 cm and 85 cm GT.

Another fantastic week was spent at Alphonse Island fishing the St. Francois Atoll. Memories were made, and bonds were formed that will last a lifetime. Stay tuned for next week’s report, as we are sure you won’t want to miss it.
