ASTOVE ATOLL FLY FISHING REPORT (19 – 26 FEB 2024)
FARQUHAR ATOLL FLY FISHING REPORT | 28 FEB – 06 MAR 2024
This week on Astove was characterized by spring tides, good weather, huge smiles on our guests’ faces, and the very first GTs for many.
Day one started off a bit slow, yet everyone got stuck into bonefish. Dan and Harold managed to land a total of 12 bonefish, and Jeff and Jim got 10 between them. Harold would not let the day go on without hunting GTs, and towards the end of the day, he landed his first GT measuring 65 cm.
The following day, Jeff caught the one and only GT while everyone managed Bluefin trevally and a few bonefish each in the surf.
On the fourth day, Jim got stuck into a GT early in the morning. Harold got bitten off by a GT but made the next GT stick and landed it. Dan caught a few bonefish for the day.
On day five, Harold and Dan went off on the boat. Harold started off with a GT in amongst a bait ball while Dan tried his hand at dredging. Dan got stuck into a beast of a coral trout grouper, tempting Harold to try a deep drop after learning that there are creatures down there that are exceptionally strong.
On the final day, Jim finished strong, catching a nice GT in the surf, while Jeff managed to get two GTs to hand for the day.
We look forward to the adventures that will come next week. Stay tuned for our report!
