SOME MONSTER MILKFISH CATCHES THIS WEEK

Another busy week here at Alphonse Island with seven skiffs out on the water. An epic week of guests with some fantastic catches. With monsoon season upon us, we did experience some strong winds, but this didn’t stop our anglers from getting out there and managing some incredible catches! 

The wind blowing from the south-easterly pushed an extensive scum line into the lagoon, bringing all the milkfish up to eat! We had two remarkable days of milkfish fishing, hooking up with dozens and landing seven over the two days. Well done to Scott for managing his first milkfish, measuring in at a whopping 105 cm. Greg also landed three monster milkfish in one day.  

Moving onto the ghosts of the flats, our guests managed to land a whopping 364 bonefish in the week, with Stuart, Graham, and Scott all managing their first bonefish. John landed 20+ bonefish in one day and three 60 cm bonefish. Scott also managed a 62 cm bonefish.  

Coming to the most sought-after species, we had two beautiful giant trevallies landed this week – Bruno landed a monster of 102 cm on his first day here, and Scott managed beautiful giant trevally of 75 cm. Moving onto our triggerfish, both James and Scott managed to land moustache triggerfish, James with his first one, and Scott with a monster of 52 cm. 

Jose went out on the bluewater for the day and managed to land a beautiful sailfish on fly.
