Seychelles Hot Bite: GTs, Tuna, and Wahoo Crushin' It Post Full Moon

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Seychelles fishing guru, comin' at ya live from the crystal waters of the Indian Ocean on this fine evenin' of May 3rd, 2026, at 7 PM local time. The trade winds are whisperin' gentle tonight, with mostly clear skies, temps hoverin' around 28°C, and a light breeze from the southeast at 10-15 knots—perfect for castin' without a fuss, accordin' to the latest from the Seychelles Meteorological Office.Sunrise lit up the horizon at 6:05 AM, and sunset dipped us into twilight at 6:15 PM, givin' us a solid 12 hours of prime light for chasin' the bite. Tides are playin' nice too: high tide peaked at 2:37 PM around 1.2 meters, now we're in a fallin' tide headin' to low at 9:02 PM—ideal for bottom feeders stirrin' up as per the Port Victoria tidal charts.Fish are dancin' lively post full moon fade! Local charter logs from Mahé and Praslin report solid hauls this week: GTs up to 40kg smashin' poppers offshore, yellowfin tuna in the 20-30kg range tearin' through the bluewater, and wahoo slicin' lines near the drop-offs. Inshore, bonefish are ghostin' the flats at 2-5kg, GTs and trevallies hammerin' 5-15kg, plus dorado schools pushin' 10kg averages. Catches are up 20% from last week, says the Seychelles Fishing Authority weekly roundup—barracuda and snapper fillin' coolers too.For lures, stick to stickbaits and poppers like the Yo-Zuri 3D Minnow or Halco Roosta Popper in bright colors for GTs and wahoo—they're explodin' on the surface right now. Jigs such as Williamson Vortex in pink or chartreuse for tuna depth. Live bait? Small trevally or sardines on circle hooks for everything; squid strips kill on snapper. Rig light leaders to avoid bite-offs from those toothy critters.Hot spots? Hit Curieuse Island's north reefs for bonefish flats—knee-deep bliss. Or steam out to the Amirantes drop-off, 20 miles southwest of Mahé, where big pelagics are stackin' up.Stay safe, respect the release, and tight lines!Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more!
