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 2027-10-10. 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.

When
When is moving water in a good hour — not the day. First light and last light are named when the clock is the story. Today’s ring mixes the best mark, the lead fish, and the best window, then taxes the sky. A strong incoming can sit under a weak day if the wind or the fish is off. Calendar cells are a third recipe: range, moon, and the day’s forecast.

Why — and who

- — Waxing gibbous moon — neap tide range. Sight water often prefers a moderate range and clean water over a huge spring.
