This past week on Cosmoledo was truly one for the books. Set over some beautiful new moon spring tides with large water fluctuations. This allowed boats to get into the surf zone and fish for giant trevally and triggerfish daily.

Oscar got himself a 103cm giant trevally in surf on the northern side of the atoll and later landed himself his first moustache triggerfish. Pablo was one very fortunate angler, who managed to land himself a 120cm giant trevally in the surf zone. Earlier in the week he showed off some more skills and landed an impressive flats slam, consisting of a beautiful yellow margin triggerfish, GT and a bonefish!

The fish was caught in the lagoon on the eastern side of the atoll over a white sand flat, which is a rare occurrence.

This past week on Cosmoledo Atoll was a perfect kick off to our 2024/25 season, with spring tides providing the perfect conditions for our anglers.

Guests were treated to blue skies, minimal cloud cover, and perfect wind conditions, making for a week filled with hot days and plenty of fish action.
Our group of guests this week had a truly unforgettable experience right from the start, with several anglers landing GTs and checking off prized species from their fishing bucket lists. Steve and James, both experiencing saltwater fly fishing for the very first time, absolutely excelled on the water. James kicked off his trip in style by landing his first bonefish and GT, while Steve also crossed the GT off his list. As the week progressed, both anglers continued to impress, demonstrating skill and determination. By the end of their trip, James and Steve had each caught over 20 giant trevally, making for an incredible first experience in the salt. It was a week of non-stop action, and their success was a highlight of the trip.
Robert had an outstanding week, with some truly impressive catches that highlighted his skill and perseverance. One of his standout moments came when he landed a stunning moustache triggerfish in the surf on the eastern side of the atoll—a beautiful specimen that added a real sense excitement to his trip. Alongside this catch, Robert’s week was filled with giant trevally, and by the end of his adventure, he had amassed an impressive 33 fish over the course of the week. Two particular GTs deserve special mention: a massive 101cm and a 95cm specimen. Congratulations, Robert, on an incredible fishing week and some impressive numbers!
John had a standout week, landing a beautiful moustache triggerfish just outside the main channel in the surf. In addition to this impressive catch, he went on to land 28 giant trevally over six days of fishing. His dedication and skill were evident as he tackled these powerful fish, both from the boat and on foot in the surf. John’s persistence and technique made for an exciting and successful week, and we couldn’t be more impressed with his catch tally.
Peter, our host for the week, kicked off his fishing adventure in spectacular fashion, landing a flats slam on the very first day. His slam consisted of a giant trevally, a milkfish, and a bonefish, an incredible accomplishment that set the tone for what would be a memorable week of fishing. As if that wasn’t enough, Peter went on to land two impressive GTs, measuring 96cm and 94cm, later in the week, showcasing both his skill and persistence.
