Weather's warm at 29°C, mostly sunny wit' light 10 km/h trades from de southeast, seas calm at 1m, accordin' to local forecasts from Seychelles Met Office.
Tides today low at 5:20 AM and 5:45 PM, high at 11:40 AM and midnight—currents slack mid-mornin' and evenin', ideal for bottom rigs, per Tides4Fishing charts adapted for our reefs. Fish activity peakin' now in dis post-northeast monsoon transition; water temps hoverin' 28-30°C, triggerin' aggressive feeds.
Recent catches been hot: GTs up to 40kg, wahoo slicin' trolled lines, yellowfin tuna schools boilin' offshore, dorado crashin' surface, and bonefish ghostin' flats. Locals report 20-30kg pelagic bags daily off Denis Island, plus snapper and grouper limits on livebait drifts, from charter logs and island FB groups.
Best lures? Skipjacks and poppers like de Nomad Madmac for GTs and trevs—cast fast near bommies. Soft plastics, paddle tails on jigheads for reefies. Bait-wise, live fusiliers or squid chunks rule; cut tuna for bottom dwellers. Early mornin' topwater, switch to deep jigs by noon.
