Apart from a few short spells of heavy but much needed rains, at times along with briefly high rising winds and occasional thunderstorms, this March offered decent to nice weather conditions. Subsequently a lot of fishing was done that would have made for a nice, long edition. Still, due to an unexpected, much too early and very sad passing within my most inner circle of fishing and beyond friends, who have become as close to family here as it can get, I feel not in the state or mood for a lively report. Thus, hoping for your understanding, I will refrain from much text, and just present the catch pics of the active boats. Before that a short reminiscense to the February edition though: you will have seen this pic of that shore GT from Praslin, but with the angler`s blanked face. Turned out a day after the upload that the angler was `Billy´who had inquired with me on shore fishing prior to his trip. I was especially glad that not only my input looks to have been valuable, but also that the GT was released and swam away. Billy made some more decent catches, see here:

Also those days a couple of anglers from Israel fished from La Digue shores. That big Bluefin Trevally is also a very special shore catch, and some more good ones came on top.

As usually the recipe for success was the abundance of baitballs within casting reach. On the boat fishing side of things Greg was active on his boat TopWater and successful along his mixed inshore fishings.

Mervin also was on the water a lot but went a bit unlucky especially on the Drop Off jigging side of things. Somehow he was out there at every single of those bad weather days in about unfishable conditions, and else his anglers got reefed by all the really large Doggies he found for them. But that Bonefish on speedjig out of 60m depth was a special catch even for him who has seen and done it all.

Last but not least Brandon skippering Fayth had a lot of jigging trips to the Drop Off with really great results. The Sailfish was caught on jig, and a few times he found some early Yellowfin to cast at. Excellent job by him.

Only so much for this month, as my tribute to a lady that is not only a sadly missed friend, but above all was the pillar, soul and sunshine of her family. Rest in peace T.
