Giant trevally

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.

Giant trevally should be the day — the throats — this is why the week is booked. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.
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.

Why — and who
- — Tide is outgoing (modeled — no NOAA gauge on this water).
- — Partly cloudy. Clouds steal the window on bones and permit.
- — Wind 22 mph ESE. This is a spin / structure / stay-home call.
- — Waxing gibbous moon — mid tide range. Sight water often prefers a moderate range and clean water over a huge spring.
