PHENOMENAL CATCHES WITH ONE ANGLER MAKING A FLAT SLAM

A tough week of fishing here on Alphonse for the first week of Feb, with some wet and windy conditions facing the anglers visiting the island. However, it was not all doom and gloom, we were treated with some much-desired sunshine at the end of the week, and the catches sure showed the joy that the sun bought! GT Friday lived up to its name, with a total of seven giant trevallies being caught. Along with almost every guest catching giant trevally throughout the week, some other phenomenal catches are worth celebrating!

Starting with Charles, Mike, Joel, Melinda, Marla, and Greg all catching their first giant trevallies this week, with Greg and Charles being the giant trevally anglers of the week, each landing four fish! Tunch, Bo, Matt, and Kajsa all also managed to add to their giant trevally tally, with Kajsa topping the giant trevally length for the week with a 91 cm catch.

On the bonefish front, the big bonefish are definitely still around, with Nancy, Charles, Mike, Fred, Marla, and Tunch all catching bonefish over 60 cm. Mike, Fred, and Charles also managed to catch 20+ bones. After a slow start to the week, Fred turned his luck around on Friday, catching two giant trevallies, a yellowmargin triggerfish, and a bonefish to complete the only Flats Slam for the week – well done, Fred!

Well done to all the anglers this week for sticking it out in some tough weather and catching some phenomenal fish. We hope to see you back soon. The weather and tides for the second week of Feb look promising, so stay tuned for next week’s report!!
