Present, not peak. This tide stage (incoming) 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 lagoon sand, then the passes if the GT are up.
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.
- ⚠ This brief is for 2026-09-06. No wind forecast that far out — score is tide, moon, and season. Not a copper day.
- ⚠ Seychelles requires an SFA license. Outer atolls are lodge water. Ste Anne and other parks are marked — verify before you fish.
