Explore the Richest Saltwater Flats Fishing Grounds
Join former Alphonse Fishing Co. head guide and current Yellow Dog Seychelles program director Alec Gerbec on a hosted trip to Cosmoledo Atoll. This will be a fantastic spring tide fishing week, with the full moon occurring on March 7th. Spring tides present optimal fishing conditions to target Giant Trevally, Indo-pacific permit, and Bonefish on this atoll, all while giving us great opportunities for surf walks on the outer edges of the Atoll. During the high tides, baitfish like mullet and bonefish will congregate around high spots creating an ideal situation for predatory fish like Giant Trevally, Bluefin Trevally, and Barracuda to target them. We should see good conditions to target triggerfish during the low tides, and the potential for milkfish showing up as their main food source – plankton — reaches its peak hatching periods during a full moon.
