Farquhar and Providence are the home of the biggest bonefish in the Seychelles as well as giant trevally that can reach up to over 120lb of 55kg. “Bones” wait for rising tide to go into the shallows, sometimes in compact shoals of many hundreds of individuals and sometimes in little groups. Blue trevallies, Indo-Pacific permits, long nose emperors as well as three types of trigger fish are also to be seen on the flats. For a while now we have been successfully trying to capture very big bumphead parrot fish when they are tailing on the shoal. Specimens weighing in at 50 to 60 lb or 20 to 25kg aren’t rare and they seem to be interested in big crab imitations, once you’ve got one at the end of your line you’re in for at least an hour of epic combat!
In the passes and channels you will sometimes come across the famous milkfish, which here grow to an incredible size. You’ll meet the biggest fish on the barrier reef: more GTs as well as lutjans, barracudas, several varieties of grouper, job fish and napoleons etc. In bluewater are wahoos and sailfish, as well as several varieties of tuna that hunt along the drop. By now we’re sure you’ve understood that Farquhar is an isolated sanctuary teaming with an amazing wealth of wildlife. An archipelago at the end of the world where anything is possible when you’ve got a rod in your hand.
