Optimal Fishing Seasons in Seychelles

The Seychelles offers excellent angling opportunities year-round, thanks to its equatorial location and stable tropical climate. However, understanding seasonal patterns can significantly enhance fishing success and overall angling experiences.

Peak Fishing Months and Weather Patterns

Advanced Fishing Techniques and Methods

Successful Seychelles fishing requires an understanding of diverse angling techniques tailored to different target species, environmental conditions, and fishing objectives.

Trolling for Pelagic Species

Trolling techniques involve systematically covering productive angling areas with properly rigged lures and equipment designed to attract large ocean predators.
