Present, not peak. This tide stage (outgoing) matches how they hunt.
Seychelles: verify SFA. Lodge programs are typically catch-and-release. Not an Atlantic jack.
Seychelles · Farquhar Atoll
Giant trevally should be the day — the throats — this is why the week is booked.
Southern atoll. GT in the passes, bones on the lagoon. Farther, wilder, still lodge water. Modeled tide. Do not invent a honey hole on an atoll this mapped.
- ⚠ Seychelles requires an SFA license. Outer atolls are lodge water. Ste Anne and other parks are marked — verify before you fish.
