Providence Blog: 14–21 October 2025

The first week of the season welcomed a full group of familiar faces back to Providence. With neap tides on the cards, hopes were high for tailing species and classic early-season opportunities on the flats.

Day 1
Providence greeted the group with strong winds, cloud cover and intermittent rain—challenging conditions for any angler. Despite this, perseverance paid off. Gregory and Max each landed a GT, with Max adding a solid bonefish to his tally. Justin and Ivan enjoyed excellent triggerfishing, bringing five triggers to hand between them. Rodeon made the most of the tough weather with three GTs, while Vladimir found two of his own. A remarkably productive start given the conditions—well done to all.

Day 2
The wind held, but clearer skies made fish-spotting far easier. Rodeon and Roman made quick work of the bonefish, landing ten between them, with Rodeon adding another GT. Ivan stayed consistent with another triggerfish and two GTs, while Justin added a GT and a trigger to his tally. Max and Gregory kept the momentum going with a GT and a triggerfish each. Vladimir had a standout day on the flats, landing four GTs, a triggerfish and two bonefish—securing a well-earned flats slam.

Day 3
Clear skies and slightly lighter winds allowed the anglers to fish aggressively. Roman landed a GT and a triggerfish, while Vladimir brought a GT and a bonefish to hand. Max recorded two GTs and a trigger, but the day belonged to Gregory, who landed an impressive three triggerfish and four GTs. Justin and Ivan delivered the highlight of the day: both landed slams, combining for three bonefish, three triggerfish and an extraordinary ten GTs. Providence at its finest.

Day 4
Heavy cloud and wind returned, making visibility tough, but the group fished brilliantly in the conditions. Max and Roman each landed GTs, while Ivan brought two triggerfish to hand. Justin continued his exceptional form with two GTs and two triggers. The day, however, belonged to Rodeon, who produced a spectacular slam: three GTs, a triggerfish, a bumpy, and—most impressively—a sailfish. A truly memorable achievement.

Day 5
The wind persisted, but the sun returned. Rodeon and Roman continued their momentum, each landing four GTs. Justin added three more, while Ivan picked up another GT. Max enjoyed a superb day, landing a GT and three bumpies, the biggest measuring 102 cm. Vladimir joined the bumpy action with two fish, including a remarkable 110 cm specimen. Another exceptional day on Providence.

Day 6
The final day brought sunshine and wind. Ivan and Rodeon added GTs to their weekly totals, while Roman landed a barracuda. Max closed out his week strongly with another triggerfish and yet another bumpy. A fantastic finish to an incredible week shared with a wonderful group of anglers.

As neap tides now give way to the springs, attention shifts toward the GTs for the coming week—along with the hope that a true giant may make an appearance.
