Week two of the November cycle began with a lively mix of returning anglers, familiar faces, and a few newcomers joining the adventure. With big spring tides on the horizon, anticipation was high and everyone was dreaming of big GTs pushing onto the flats.

Day 1:
The week opened with a blend of high winds and pockets of sunlight, creating challenging but workable conditions. Rob started strong, landing two GTs, while Karl and Ivan each added a GT of their own. Offshore, Mike managed to land a sailfish, and Scott put in a standout performance, landing three GTs, the biggest a handsome 97 cm specimen. A solid, high-energy start to the week.

On the flats, Ivan found success with two GTs, while Scott continued his fine form, landing four GTs, including the week’s first truly exceptional trophy—a 113 cm giant.

A truly exceptional day of flats fishing.

Heavy rain and cold winds made for tough conditions, but once again the guests rose to the challenge. Kelly and Karl each landed a sailfish, while Tom and Jonathan both landed GTs. Rob added three GTs and a sailfish, continuing an incredibly strong week. The standout catch came from Scott, who landed a rare Providence permit—a highly prized and unusual capture on the atoll. A remarkable achievement.

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.

St Brandon Blog: 29 April – 9 May 2025

Hi there and welcome! Week 5 on the Atoll was full of excitement, with countless opportunities to target fish across the pristine waters of St. Brandon. As the weather began to cool slightly, we moved into neap tides—providing optimal conditions for extended time on the flats rather than around the islands.

Bonefishing Highlights

The bonefishing this week held true to St. Brandon’s world-class reputation. Anglers enjoyed consistent action, with plenty of singles and pairs cruising the skinny water across our flats. Quality fish were landed throughout the week, many falling in the impressive 7–8 lb range.

A standout catch came from Doug, who is on his first trip to St. Brandon. He landed a monstrous 10 lb bonefish, continuing the excellent momentum from his previous week. Dave also got in on the action, landing a solid 8 lb bone on the final day of his trip. Well done to both anglers on their fantastic fish—what a way to wrap up your time on the Atoll! A 10 lb bonefish is a rare and special catch, and Doug’s fish was truly one to remember.

Permit Fishing Success

Permit fishing remained strong throughout the week, with numerous tailing fish spotted across the flats, coral ridges, and island edges. The guests enjoyed several good shots, and a few remarkable fish were brought to hand.

Doug again rose to the occasion, landing both a 9 lb and a stunning 11.5 lb Indo-Pacific Permit. A double-digit permit is an extraordinary achievement in any fishery, and Doug’s success is a testament to the quality of opportunities available here at St. Brandon. Congratulations on such a memorable week!

Trevally Encounters

Giant trevally made their presence known, frequently seen shadowing nurse sharks and ambushing bait along the flats and around the islands. Despite multiple sightings, none were landed this week, but anticipation remains high for the rest of the season.

Golden Trevally added excitement to the mix, with several seen tailing in turtle grass on various flats. A few lucky anglers managed to land these stunning, hard-fighting fish. Bluefin Trevally were abundant again, often seen harassing bait schools throughout the Atoll. Although the hookup-to-landing ratio was low this week, the chase continues to thrill both guides and guests alike.

Looking Ahead

Week 5 was packed with action, and the variety of species encountered kept everyone engaged. As the water continues to cool, we’re optimistic about the coming weeks and what they’ll bring for our guests. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us—we thoroughly enjoyed sharing this special place with you and look forward to your return.

Catch Summary:

  • Bonefish: 84 (1 x 10 lb, 1 x 8.5 lb)

  • Indo-Pacific Permit: 5 (1 x 11.5 lb, 1 x 9 lb)

  • Golden Trevally: 5

Yours in fishing,
