Week six of our 2024 season at Providence Atoll kicked off with eager anglers and perfect conditions. As we shifted from spring tides to neaps, we hoped for calmer waters and more opportunities to target tailing species like Bonefish, Triggerfish, and Bumphead Parrotfish.

Day 1 started strong, with good numbers of fish cruising along the flats. Zane had an outstanding start, landing his first-ever GT at 102cm. Throughout the day, several other GTs were caught, averaging around 80-85cm. Ryan and Brent also added some beautiful Yellow Margin Triggerfish to the tally, with Ryan catching one in the morning and Brent landing another during a low tide session.

Day 2 brought nearly perfect conditions, with clear skies and light winds. Rick landed his first-ever Milkfish after a strong fight. Pat then connected with a stunning Yellow Margin Triggerfish while walking a turtle grass flat. The GTs were out in force, and several big fish were seen cruising. Judah landed an impressive 114cm GT, his first-ever meter fish! Ryan also caught a trophy GT at 100cm, followed by Tom, who landed a 101cm GT — great work all around!

Day 3 was a tougher day, with cloudy skies and wind making conditions more challenging. Despite this, Pat managed two solid GTs, the largest at 95cm. Brent added three decent-sized GTs to the tally, and Zane fought a big fish, eventually landing a beautiful GT that was swimming with a stingray.

Day 4 brought near-perfect conditions with no wind or clouds. Father and son duo Rob and Judah had an incredible morning, landing seven GTs, the largest around 90cm. The Triggerfish were also active, with Tony landing a stunning Yellow Margin Triggerfish. Pat followed suit on the other boat, also catching a Yellow Margin. Later in the day, Tom landed a Napoleon Wrasse while dredging in deeper waters.

Day 5 featured near-ideal conditions again, with minimal wind and clear skies. The GTs were plentiful, with 12 fish caught throughout the day, the largest just under 90cm. Tony had a remarkable day, landing three Yellow Margin Triggerfish, plus a Bonefish and a GT, completing a slam. Zane also caught his first-ever Triggerfish, while Pat and Brent each landed a Yellow Margin Triggerfish. Judah capped the day with another beautiful Yellow Margin.

Day 6 was a bit of a challenge, with low wind but high cloud cover. The fish were skittish, but Pat and Tom adjusted by using thinner leaders and smaller flies, successfully landing a couple of GTs. Rick had a memorable moment, catching a massive Barracuda after a well-placed cast.

As the week came to a close, the weather started to shift back to spring tides, which we hope will bring more water movement across the flats. We’re excited to see what’s in store for the next week at Providence Atoll!

Catch Summary for the Week:

  • GTs: 53 (Largest: 114cm, Judah)
  • Triggerfish: 13
  • Grouper & Snapper: 85
  • Bluefin Trevally: 34
  • Bonefish: 1
  • Milkfish: 1
