Giant Trevally Characteristics

The Giant Trevally (Caranx ignobilis) is the emblematic species of Farquhar. It is known for:

  • Size: typically 80–120 cm, with some specimens exceeding 150 cm.
  • Weight: the largest GTs can reach 50–60 kg.
  • Habitat: reefs, channels, and lagoons of Farquhar, rich in baitfish.
  • Behavior: violent predator, often hunting in groups.
  • Power: brutal runs and intense fights that challenge even the most experienced anglers.

At Farquhar, the GT reigns supreme as the ultimate reef predator, sought after by sport fishermen worldwide.

 

Why Farquhar is the Paradise of GT Fishing

Farquhar Atoll is remote and rarely fished, offering pristine waters with almost no fishing pressure. Its powerful channels, turquoise lagoons, and coral reef systems make it the perfect environment for giant GTs. With a catamaran fishing charter, YFS gives you access to the best fishing spots around the atoll, maximizing your chances of landing a trophy GT.

GT Fishing Techniques at Farquhar, Seychelles

Our YFS guides use techniques specifically adapted to Farquhar’s unique conditions:

  • Popping: the ultimate technique, provoking explosive surface strikes.
  • Jigging: highly effective along drop-offs and channels where GTs hunt in depth.
  • Fast casting: deadly when GTs hunt aggressively in packs inside lagoons.
  • Trolling: used while navigating around the atoll to target GTs and other pelagic predators.

 

Best Season for GT Fishing at Farquhar, Seychelles

GT fishing at Farquhar is possible year-round, but the prime season runs from October to May. During this period, sea conditions are calmer and predator activity peaks. GTs are extremely aggressive and highly responsive to surface lures. During the trade wind season (June to September), access to Farquhar can be limited, but some areas still produce excellent results.
