Trophy Time on Providence

The Week of Giants

The second week on Providence coincided with spring tides. Unfortunately, the bumpheads were hardly showing on the flats. Every now and then we managed to spot a few, but most of them were already holding in deeper water and proved difficult to target.

On the other hand, the GT and triggerfish fishing developed into absolute high-end fishing. During the week, we landed five GTs over one metre, including two fish measuring 122 cm, one at 118 cm and another at 114 cm. Several true trophy fish in just one week – something you certainly don’t experience every day. On top of that, we also landed several more GTs in the 90 cm-plus range.

114 CM

The star of the week was undoubtedly our guide, Graham. He landed all the big fish on his boat and once again demonstrated an incredible instinct. The ‘Lucky Puncher’ of the week was therefore quite clearly Grahamsky.  For me personally, too, it was an absolutely magical day: in a single day, I managed to land two GTs over a metre – one measuring 122 cm and another 118 cm. I lost a fish of a similar size to the coral on the same day. You never forget days like that. They remain forever.

What’s more, I’d managed to land another GT measuring 114 cm just two days earlier. I’ll also fondly remember the day when Cameron and I caught 16 GTs in a single day. Julian had another moment of glory with a 122-cm GT. Christoph also managed to catch a GT over a metre long.

Great Fun

As usual, our group was close-knit and harmonious. We all knew each other, had a great time, enjoyed good conversations and plenty of entertainment. When the fishing is this excellent too, everything just falls into place. There were one or two rainy days, but overall we had good fishing weather.

Everything went according to plan. The food, organisation and schedule were – as always – of the highest standard, and we were able to enjoy a wonderful week together.

Goodbye

At the same time, this trip was probably the last one on the catamaran. That’s a bit of a shame, as we’ve had some unforgettable trips on this boat. From next year, this tour will take place on the mother ship, the Maya Dugong.

Thank you all for joining me on this trip. I hope there will be many more adventures together to come. It was certainly great fun.
