This is Artificial Lure with your Seychelles Indian Ocean fishing report. We’ve had a classic southeast monsoon pattern today: steady **SE trades 12–18 knots**, a bit stronger in the afternoon, with a light chop inside the reef and a lumpy swell outside on the banks. Skies were partly cloudy, humidity high, but good visibility on the bluewater edges. Around Mahé and Praslin, the day started calm then picked up as that SE breeze filled in. Tides ran a solid **morning high**, easing into a **midday fall** and a **late-afternoon low**, which turned fishy once the current began to push again on the evening flood. On the flats and inner reefs, that dropping tide pulled bait off the sand, waking up trevally and coral trout. Offshore, the moving water along drop‑offs and around current lines held the larger pelagics. Sun slipped up over the Indian Ocean just after **6 a.m.** and dropped behind the islands shortly after **6 p.m.** The hour around first light and the last hour before dark both fished best, especially where shade lines from the islands met clean, moving water. Inshore, boats and shore anglers reported **bluefin trevally, bigeye trevally, and a handful of GTs**, plus **jobfish, coral trout, and emperor** on the reef edges. A few local skippers mentioned double‑digit counts of trevally in the 2–5 kg range, with the usual story of one or two unstoppable brutes busting off in the whitewater. Offshore on the banks and around the FADs, crews raised **yellowfin tuna**, some **skipjack**, and scattered **wahoo and dorado/mahi**. Several charter captains talked about steady yellowfin in the 10–25 kg class, with the odd bigger fish mixed in, and enough wahoo to keep everyone honest on lighter leaders. Billfish were quieter but a couple of sailfish were seen free-jumping and one small marlin was reportedly released south of Mahé. Best **lures** today: - For GTs and trevally: big **surface stickbaits and cup-faced poppers** in natural baitfish or white/blue patterns worked over reef edges and island points. - For reef fish: **jigged soft plastics** and 40–80 g metal jigs in pink, chartreuse, and silver fished vertically over structure. - Offshore: **skirted trolling lures** in green/yellow and black/purple, plus small feather jigs and Christmas tree lures for tuna. Diving plugs and high‑speed lures picked up wahoo on the edges. Best **bait**: - Inshore: **fresh bonito strips, squid, and small live fusiliers or sardines** free‑lined along current seams. - Reef: cut squid and fish strips on simple bottom rigs did well for snapper, emperor, and jobfish. - Offshore: **chunked or live bait** bridled and drifted around FADs and current lines turned the better tuna. A couple of **hot spots** to keep in mind: - The **St. Anne Marine Park and northeast side of Mahé**, where the reef edges and island points catch the SE swell and current, have been holding trevally and reef fish, especially on the falling tide into evening. - The **drop‑offs off the Mahe Plateau and around the offshore banks near Denis and Bird** have been reliable for tuna and wahoo when the current is running, with birds and bait showing clearly when it turns on. Focus your efforts at first light and that last push of daylight, work the current lines hard, and match your lure size to the bait you see flicking on the surface.
