Why Farquhar is the best spot for dogtooth tuna fishing

The Farquhar Atoll, located 700 km south of Mahé, is a remote paradise combining reefs, channels, and steep drop-offs. These underwater structures attract large schools of baitfish, which in turn draw in apex predators like dogtooth tuna. In this environment, dogtooth tuna hunt in packs, striking violently at jigs and live baits. Their sudden dives and unstoppable runs make them one of the most challenging fish for any angler. A catamaran fishing charter Seychelles to Farquhar allows you to move freely between reefs and offshore drop-offs, maximizing your chances of landing trophy dogtooth tuna.


Other species commonly caught during a dogtooth tuna trip:

  • Dogtooth Tuna: the ultimate deep-water predator, known for violent strikes and extreme power.
  • Giant Trevally (GT): explosive surface predator often encountered on popping gear.
  • Yellowfin Tuna: aggressive pelagic species targeted with casting or jigging.
  • Wahoo: lightning-fast predator often hooked near reef drop-offs.
  • Amberjacks & Groupers: powerful reef fish that deliver brutal jigging fights.

Each hook-up with a dogtooth tuna at Farquhar is an adrenaline rush – violent strikes, screaming drags, and battles fought deep into the blue.

 

Best season for dogtooth tuna fishing at Farquhar, Seychelles

The best period for a dogtooth tuna fishing trip to Farquhar runs from October to May. During these months, seas are calm, visibility is excellent, and predator activity is at its peak. Dogtooth tuna aggressively hunt along the deep drop-offs, while GTs and other pelagics provide additional action. From June to September, the southeast trade winds make access more difficult and conditions rougher, so YFS recommends scheduling trips in the warm season for maximum success and safety.


Life aboard a catamaran expedition in Farquhar, Seychelles

Our catamaran expeditions combine world-class fishing with the comfort of a floating base camp. Departing from Mahé or Desroches, we reach Farquhar with a fully equipped catamaran offering cabins, dining areas, relaxation decks, and casting platforms designed for anglers. Fishing days are organized around tides and fish activity: - morning jigging sessions for dogtooth tuna and amberjacks, - popping on reef edges for GTs, - offshore drifts for tuna and wahoo. The catamaran ensures maximum mobility, allowing us to reach untouched reefs and remote offshore structures.

Fishing Techniques for dogtooth tuna in Farquhar, Seychelles

Dogtooth tuna are among the toughest fish to target, requiring specialized techniques and gear. Our guides focus on jigging and popping while adapting to conditions for optimal success.

  • Jigging: vertical jigging in deep water, the most effective method to trigger savage strikes from dogtooth tuna.
  • Popping: surface lures provoke explosive bites from GTs and occasionally big dogtooth tuna near reefs.
  • Fast Casting: ideal for pelagic predators like yellowfin tuna and wahoo hunting near the surface.
  • Trolling: a useful technique when moving between spots to raise pelagic species.
