Seychelles Full Moon Bite: GTs, Wahoo, and Tuna Going Electric

Hey there, mates, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to bloke for all things angling in the Seychelles, straight from the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. It's 7 PM here on April 30, 2026, and the bite's been electric today under a balmy 28°C sky with light southeast trades at 10-15 knots—perfect for casting without the sweat pouring off ya. Sunrise lit up at 6:15 AM, sunset dipped at 6:25 PM, and tides peaked high at 1.2m around noon, low at 0.3m by 6 PM, pulling fish tight to structure.Fish activity's peaking with the full moon phase stirring the depths—GTs crashing poppers at dawn, wahoo slashing mid-morning, and yellowfin tuna boiling on the reefs come dusk. Recent catches? Local crews from Mahé and Praslin report 20-40kg GTs, 15kg wahoos, and dogtooth tuna up to 30kg, plus dorado schools hitting 10-12kg. Bonefish are tailing flats in numbers, and sailfish teases are up offshore.Best lures right now: stick to 100g poppers like the Nomad Madscad for GTs, shiny stickbaits for wahoo, and cedar plugs trolled at 8 knots for tuna. Live bait? Small trevally or mullet chunks on a 7/0 circle hook for bottom dwellers like grouper—rig 'em deep near drop-offs.Hot spots: hit Aldabra Atoll's lagoon edges for bonefish flats, or troll the drop-off at Aride Island for pelagics—pure magic, no crowds.Thanks for tuning in, legends—subscribe for daily updates to keep your lines tight!This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.Great deals on fishing gear https://amzn.to/44gt1PnThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AIThis episode includes AI-generated content.
