Our group of anglers and non anglers had an incredible week of enjoyable in the sun at Alphonse Island, Seychelles. Worlds lined up (actually) throughout our week therefore did the stars, the tides, the wind and the sun. Our journey was highlighted by a few of the very best Giant Trevally fishing Alphonse has actually seen in years. Spring tides and absolutely no wind for the very first couple of days, enabled anglers to access the browse on foot mid day with high sun and active fish.
Alphonse is a paradisiacal island resort where anglers and non-anglers remain in beach side cottages, delight in great food, and high level service. Activities beyond fishing consist of snorkeling, diving, browsing, kayaking, paddle boarding, bike riding, garden trips and more. I do not understand of a much better fishing location that uses a lot for the non angler in such a perfect setting.
Bonefishing was very strong on Alphonse, highlighted by numerous fish over 60cm. White sand, and lots of ready fish make it a few of the best bonefishing worldwide.
Dredging in a few of the deep channels is constantly enjoyable. Different grouper types, trevally types, snapper and more can be discovered. I like to bring a quick sinking line to huck on the 12wt, you never ever understand what you may discover.
Tackle Notes: A lot of us experimented with the brand-new Korkers Salt Sneaker and liked it. It’s very light for travel, fast drying so that last day you aren’t carrying 2lbs of water home with you, and actually comfy. The large toe box and lacing system enable simple entry, unlike many other flats shoes. Bottom line these held up in the browse and are great flats wading shoes for any location.
The Scientific Anglers GT Smooth fly line carried out completely. New 100lbs intertwined loops are consisted of with this line and simple to set up. Core strength and taper are perfect for capturing big wheel and casting beast flies.
The Nautilus CCFX-2 Silver King was a strong reel for me this journey. Giant Trevally can damage any fly reel, simply ask the guides in the Seychelles. They have actually seen them all stop working. For me, I actually like the huge retrieval rate on the Silver King. The drag was seriously evaluated on this journey and it held up completely.
