FARQUHAR ATOLL FLY FISHING REPORT (06 – 13 DEC 2023)
FARQUHAR ATOLL FISHING NEWS | 06 – 13 DEC 2023
Farquhar Atoll welcomed the Jensens and Wessels families to a week filled with angling excitement under clear, sunny skies.
From day one, there was a buzz of excitement as all the boys eagerly ventured onto the flats. Craig wasted no time, promptly hooking up and landing his first GT of the week. Brendan followed suit, landing his GT, and then both he and his brother Mathias scored their first bonefish, while their mom, Adri, joined in on the action, landing her first bonefish on fly.
Day two unfolded as a laid-back exploration day, while they ventured out to explore the island as well as doing some snorkelling. Following a delicious lunch back at the lodge, the kids and guides headed out for some bluewater fishing. They returned with wide smiles and some phenomenal fish caught, and some big ones that got away!
Day three shifted the focus back to the flats, where Craig continued his success, landing another GT and a yellowmargin triggerfish. Alphonso had a stellar day, marking his first-ever bonefish and permit. The girls embarked on another bluewater fishing adventure, with Rachel landing a wahoo.
On day four, the three sisters, Rachel, Rebecca, and Christin, were eager to conquer the flats with their guide, looking for their first bonefish. Walking on the sandy shores of the lagoon, they all scored, landing numerous bonefish. Well done girls!
In the remaining days of the week, many fish teased the group on the flats, and there are a couple of stories of ‘how they got away.’ The bluewater fishing remained red-hot, with numerous sailfish being hooked and lost. Brendan and Mathias added to the excitement by both landing yellowfin tuna, making it a week filled with unforgettable angling adventures and memories that will last a lifetime.
