Wild ecosystems, not pins on a map.

African Banks

At the far northern edge of the Amirantes, shallow reef rises abruptly from deep Indian Ocean water. The area is charged with current, bait and life, and predator activity is rarely subtle.

Days often begin with yellowfin boiling on the surface and end with the unmistakable thump of a dogtooth crushing a jig at sunset.

• Yellowfin tuna 20–80+ kg, frequently on the surface
• Dogtooth tuna 20–70+ kg, deep along the drop-offs
• GTs, wahoo 20–40 kg, sailfish and amberjack
• Popping at sunrise, jigging as the sun rises, stickbaits under birds

St Joseph

One of the largest atolls in the Outer Islands. A vast protected lagoon sits inside productive outer reef walls, so radically different fishing environments exist side by side.

In a single day you can move from cruising GTs inside the lagoon to dogtooth positioned in ambush just outside the passes.

• Giant trevally 20–40+ kg inside the lagoon and along the edges
• Bluefin trevally abundant on the flats
• Dogtooth holding deep outside the passes
• Topwater on lagoon edges, stickbaits through channels, jigging outer drops

Desroches

A strategic position in the Amirantes offering a rare balance between productive inshore fishing and legitimate offshore opportunity — you can move from shallow GT sessions to serious bluewater in the same day.

• GTs and bluefin trevally along shallow reef points and coral edges
• Wahoo, yellowfin and dogtooth on the offshore contours
• Sailfish along bluewater lanes, occasional marlin
• Popping reef points, stickbaits through channels, jigging offshore contours
