Anglers had a great week during this season with most of the guides polling most of the atoll as the tides were in neaps, which generally sparks excellent bone and permit fishing. The light was perfect with mostly calm and sunny weather, and the water was still for some great sight-fishing opportunities.
Our champion bone-fisherman of the week goes out to 10-year-old Gabin Bourderioux, who managed 20+ bones on his first day, two of which measured in at 55 and 60 cm. After showing her grandson Gabin the ropes on how to join the 20+ bonefish club, Chantal Chone went on to bag herself a gorgeous nugget; a permit of 58 golden cm, which led to a further three permit being panned this week by Alexey Strulistov, Henry Henley and Chris Higman!
After fishing a fantastic week on the flats last week, Eworth Garbutt and Peter Gelfand stuck around the Alphonse Group to test their tackle on the billfish that frequent our waters. After four exciting days, the duo came home with countless sails, blue marlin, and a black marlin of 300 lbs!
Alexey Strulistov certainly dominated the flats this week, walking away with slime from all ‘Big 5’ species on his hands after successfully landing his permit, several bones, a milkfish, giant triggerfish, and a GT of 90 cm.
A truly spectacular week was shared with both novice and experienced anglers alike, and once again, the atolls in the Alphonse Group proved their diversity and wildness.
