REMARKABLE FISHING WEEK WITH MULTIPLE TARGET SPECIES LANDED

It was another spectacular week here on Farquhar as multiple target species were again landed. With the weather starting to settle, it made for a great week.

Michael Haines got stuck into the bonefish and wrapped a large number of them. His most prominent and significant for the week was a very impressive 65 cm fish. He sadly lost a big Indo-Pacific permit. However, this did not dampen his spirits as he landed a 51cm moustache triggerfish, a GT, and a bone on the same day, giving him a Flats Slam. He ended up with a few more GTs as the week moved on.

Charles McDaniel had a terrific time. He managed to land all but the Permit during his stay with us. He landed a few GTs, a triggerfish, bones, and the high sort after bumphead parrotfish. Brian Griffith landed a very impressive 102 cm GT in the surf together with a pair of bonefish. Sadly he lost five bumpies and a monster GT after a lengthy fight.

Dick Pitini certainly landed one of the fish of the week. A glorious 51cm Permit together with a few Bonefish. Brian and Sonya Gustafson had a fairytale trip. Brain landed two GTs of 109 cm each on the same day. One of those fish was a double-up with his wife Sonya, who managed a 91cm GT, her first ever. An extraordinary moment for both of them. Brian then went on to land a GT, a yellowmargin triggerfish, bonefish, and his first bumphead parrotfish in one day. An excellent Super Slam. Sonya also managed a moustache triggerfish during the week and Brian with an incredible 81cm Napoleon wrasse.

Seychelles veterans Ian Hodge and Ty Pollock also wrapped up some decent GT numbers, with the biggest belonging to Ian, a 97cm fish. They also each landed a bumpy after losing a few throughout the week. Ty landed the hugely appreciated Napoleon wrasse on the flats.
