Seychelles Praslin Fishing February 2019

[@TopHobbies1]

Nice fish:) How much is a trip there? Also can you do popper and lure fishing from the coast? Or its only fly fishing? Thanks

[@seydan69]

Thanks. Fishing is indeed not bad here. Else I would not have been stuck here for 10 years now ;-) Shore spinning is also an option on most islands while on some it is not allowed due to Marine Park regulations. Think my website www.seychelles-fishing.com might be a useful read to get a better idea of options and aspects. For all aspects not answered there simply contact me through the site. Tight Lines!

Awesome doggie! What size Gosa was that? And what braid.... did awesome to bring that beast up!

[@seydan69]

Was a 10000 with 60lb Daiwa J-Braid. Abolutely on the limit and with a load of luck.

[@infiniti2003]

That awesome guys congratulations.

[@seydan69]

Thanks. Yes was some pretty cool stuff along the last two weeks.

Nice...what the rod ???

[@seydan69]

Was a funny thing: the guest had a very nice setup but ultra heavy so he was killing himself. As there seemed no big fish around that day I lent him my old Alutecnos Blue Jigging PE5 which was my very first jigging rod so also quite old. Seems that big Doggie just waited for this. Incredible we managed it on that thing with a Saragosa 8000 and 60lb line. We were so lucky ...

Könnt ihr mir einen angeltrip oder besser gesagt eine company empfehlen für solche Angelausfluge

[@seydan69]

Wenn Du mir eine Email an [e-mail] schickst und dazu schreibst, von welche der Inseln Du besuchst kann ich Dir beschreiben wie Deine Möglichkeiten dort sind. Würde an dieser Stelle ein bisschen zu lang, denn nicht auf allen Inseln gibt es kompetente Boote für alle Angelarten.

Did you release that big doggie

[@seydan69]

We would have liked to as we always try (see the April 2019 clip) but this one unfortunately did not make it.

[@graydenemberton4818]

Is that from barotraumic pressure or just from a really long fight

[@seydan69]

@@graydenemberton4818 In this case I think both. Fish was in a depth of around 230m some point when it gave up completely. From then on it was just a long hevy retrieve. Barotrauma can be sorted out in most instances by venting them as I showed in the April 2019 clip but the bigger they are the lesser are the chances they make it. Even if the depth has been rather accomodating.
