High at 9:23 AM and 9:45 PM, low around 3:15 PM per Tide-Forecast charts—fish are loving the incoming flow right now. Activity's ramping up post-full moon; bonefish and GTs are cruising the flats, while yellowfin tuna and wahoo are smashing offshore.Recent catches? Local charter logs from Mahé and Praslin show 15-20kg GTs on poppers, heaps of triggerfish and snapper from Aldabra atolls—over 50 fish days reported by Seychelles Fishing Authority tallies last week. Skipjack tuna schools are thick, pulling in 10-15 per troll.Best lures? Stick with 40g metal slugs or stickbaits like the Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow for GTs—proven killers here. Rapala X-Rap for trevs. Live bait? Small octopus or mullet chunks on circle hooks for bottom dwellers; flying fish for pelagics.Hot spots: Hit Anse Lazio on Praslin for flats bonefish, or troll the drop-offs at Silhouette Island's north point—non-stop action.Tight lines, stay safe out there!Thanks for tuning in, folks—subscribe for daily updates!
