Why the Seychelles is the Ultimate Dogtooth Tuna Destination
Seychelles is free from industrial spillage and pollution, offering a pure environment for exceptional fishing. With catamaran charters, we take you far from the main islands into the most remote zones, where big Dogtooth Tuna and other predators are waiting. Here’s why Seychelles stands out:
Introducing the Ferocious Dogtooth Tuna in Seychelles
This pelagic predator, part of the bonito family, gets its name from its canine-like teeth. Locally called “doggy”, it is a top target in Seychelles. Fighting one is unforgettable — they dive deep, break lines, and push your strength to the limit. Our multi-day catamaran expeditions give you access to the best reefs where these giants roam.
Where and When to Catch Dogtooth Tuna
Dogtooth Tuna are nocturnal feeders, usually found around reef edges and deep channels. They can be caught all year in Seychelles, but the best months are October–December and February–May. During these times, weather is calm, seas are flat, and baitfish activity is high. Our catamarans allow us to reach remote reefs where fishing pressure is minimal, maximizing your chance of hooking a trophy fish.
Jigging in Seychelles – The Best Way to Target Doggies
Jigging is the ultimate technique for Dogtooth Tuna. Dropping metal lures vertically in deep waters triggers explosive strikes. On our catamaran expeditions, we spend several days exploring remote drop-offs, maximizing your jigging opportunities.
Other techniques include popping over reef edges, trolling between spots, and live bait fishing when Doggies are less active. Multi-day trips on catamarans are ideal, as we can adapt to conditions and techniques while staying close to the best fishing grounds.
