ASTOVE ATOLL FLY FISHING REPORT (04 – 11 MAR 2024)
ASTOVE ATOLL FLY FISHING REPORT | 04 – 11 MAR 2024
A South – easterly backwind, moving towards spring tides with a few clouds around, gave us a great week of fishing here on Astove.
On day one, David started off with a fish of a lifetime. He ventured out on the boat, found a log, and spotted a 114 cm GT sitting underneath. He cast, and it swallowed up the fly. David had a mighty fight! Both he and Simon ended the day in the lagoon, catching 20+ bonefish each.
On the second day, we set off to the mouth. After losing two fish each, Simon tightened up the drag and landed a 65 cm fish along with two smaller GTs. The bluefin trevally kept them busy when it got a bit quiet. David finished off the day with a GT at New Pier.
The next day, Simon and David each caught a 60 cm+ bonefish at Paulies, right against the cliffs in the slightly higher water. They finished their day off in the lagoon, having fun with the abundance of bonefish.
On day five, David and Simon each landed a moustache triggerfish. Simon learned just how tricky they can be, darting in between the coral. They kept going throughout the day and racked up more bluefin trevally and a surf bonefish each.
Day six welcomed a very long eastern surf walk, which proved to be a great choice. David ended up with two GTs around 70 cm each, along with a few bluefin trevally and some surf bonefish at the wreck. Simon got himself a 65 cm geet along with bluefin trevally and some wreck surf bonefish.
It was a great week with these gentlemen, and we all had huge amounts of fun! Thank you for joining us.
