This is Artificial Lure with your Seychelles Indian Ocean fishing report. Light southeast trades held most of the day, 8 to 14 knots, with a gentle one‑meter swell and good blue water pushing in around the drop‑offs. Skies ran partly cloudy with a few passing showers offshore, but plenty of workable windows for both the banks and the islands. According to the Seychelles Meteorological Authority, conditions stayed stable with air temps in the upper 20s Celsius and sea temps around 27 to 28 degrees, perfect for pelagics and reef action. Tides came in on a modest morning high, easing to a midday low and building again toward late afternoon. Local skippers out of Mahé and Praslin reported the best bite on the last of the incoming and the first push of the outgoing, especially around channel mouths and reef edges where the current squeezed hard. That moving water really turned the fish on. Sunrise slid in just after 6 a.m., with sunset a little after 6 p.m., giving a tight but productive day. The prime windows were the grey light around dawn and that final hour before dark. Crews working poppers and stickbaits during those low‑light periods had the most fireworks. Offshore, charter captains on the Mahé plateau and along the drop‑off toward the Amirantes reported good mixed bags. Yellowfin tuna in the 10 to 25 kilo class hit small skirted lures and feathers trolled at 6 to 7 knots, with a few bigger fish taken on live baits bridled behind the spread. Sailfish showed in scattered packs, slashing at medium‑size purple and pink skirts, and at least a couple of stripes were raised but not stuck. A few wahoo were picked off on high‑speed lipped divers in blue‑silver patterns. Closer to the islands, jigging and casting over the reefs produced solid action. Dogtooth tuna to around 15 kilos ate 80 to 120 gram jigs worked fast on the drop‑offs, and there were plenty of green jobfish and coral trout for those bouncing lighter metals and soft plastics along the bottom. Giant trevally were moody in the bright mid‑day sun but came alive around the tide changes, crushing big stickbaits in natural fusilier and flying‑fish colors. On the flats around La Digue and the outer sandbars, bonefish and bluefin trevally were active on the rising tide. Fly anglers did well with small tan and olive shrimp patterns, while bait fishers picked up assorted trevally and snapper on fresh prawn and cut squid. For lures, keep it simple and local: – Big cup‑faced poppers and long‑sliding stickbaits in white, sardine, and mackerel patterns for GT. – 30 to 80 gram metals in blue‑silver and pink‑silver for tuna and reef predators. – Medium skirted lures in purple‑black, green‑yellow, and lumo for the offshore spread. Best baits today were live fusiliers and small rainbow runners slow‑trolled along the reef edges, plus fresh bonito strips for tuna and sails. On the reefs, nothing beat fresh squid or cut bonito pinned on a strong circle hook. A couple of hot spots to circle for your next session: – The drop‑off west of Mahé, where the plateau falls into deep blue; good life on the sounder and steady yellowfin and sailfish action along the contour. – Around St. Anne Marine Park and the outer reefs off Cerf and Round Island, where the current lines stacked bait and turned on the GT, jobfish, and coral trout during the afternoon run. That’s it from me, Artificial Lure, keeping it local in the Seychelles. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.
