Very beautiful place
Magnifique les poissons super la pêche en bord de mer au Seychelles 🐟🐟Un Salut de la Réunion 974👍
Hey. Last week i was there with smaller spoons and other smaller lures. When me was there there was no so many fish😅
Sorry to hear, but i suppose that's fishing. Conditions have to be right.
Hi Gregg
Great video! How did you access these rocks? I visited Beau Vallon in October and walked up to Bel Ombre but couldn't find the exact spot. Was it on the Beau Vallon side of the harbour, next to the little beach? I found the rocks (breakwater) on the other side, by the rough car park, too difficult to access. I ended up in front of the abandoned hotel a bit further along but didn't catch anything - bitten off by what I suspect was a Barracuda though. In Bea Vallon I had a few small grouper-like fish and a decent-sized needle fish from Beau Vallon beach. We're going back in April and I'd love to give your spot a try!
Hi. The abandoned hotel is about a km or so past this spot. The turn off is the last right turn before you get to the bus stop by the abandoned hotel. It's opposite a sports field and next to the bel ombre treasure site. You go though a set of gates if i remember correctly. They work on boats there. Just park there where they work on the boats and walk towards the sea and you will see the line of rocks which i was fishing off. Its literally right at the harbour.
Thanks Gregg
I think I know where you mean. I need to explore a bit more. It was near here I tried to get to the sea but struggled to find a way over the rocks that made up the breakwater! Next time I'll try closer to the harbour itself. I was towards the far left hand corner (as you face the sea) in the area where they work on the boats.
When we go back to Mahe I'll also use some silver spoons, last time I was using 'sidewinder' type plastic lures with limited results!
Cheers, and tight lines
Martin

@@user-oi1hr5xc6e yes those rocks which make up the breakwater are the rocks i was on. I walked along them trying different spots. Get in a snorkel as well, you will see it get a bit deaper towards the harbor mouth. Just be carful for boats! They will ride over you. Stick close to the rocks.
Fishing is super! You are a master!!! Which company's baits did you use? What is the weight of the bait? Thanks for the answer!!
I ended up using small spoons as the lures i tried didn't seem to work as well. Basically the smallest spoons i could find as the fish really seemed to like small baits. You just need to change the hooks for bigger hooks. Do not attempt to buy tackle in Seychelles, rather take tackle with. The prices are ridiculous and the selection is very limited.
@@FishingEasternCapeSAThank you very much!! 🙂🤝
Howzit greg i wanted to ask if you would recommend me putting a weight with my plastic lure or crankbait or whatever you know it as?
Hi. Not sure if i am understanding you correctly but i have never used weights/sinkers with crankbaits but soft plastic such as paddletails i obviously use a jighead with its weight. Unfortunately its not easy to get a good cast distance using small lures if that's the reason for your asking. Spoons worked very well but unfortunately not many options purchasing them in Mahe Seychelles. Only really that shop in Eden Island which is a total rip-off and very minimal selection. They actually didn't even have real spoons when i was there, just these weird shiny lead jigs which kinda worked like a spoon.
I'm asking if I should add a weight because isn't the crankbait to light to cast far enough?
@@vanzy7774 i suppose you could try but not sure it will effect the action too much. Definitely worth a try i suppose. I caught a lot of fish close to the edge so I often didnt have to cast far though. The spoons do cast much better however. Let us know how it goes.
@@FishingEasternCapeSA ok will do thanks Greg
How do I get there
Check the other comments. Been asked a few times and i even gave coordinates.
Are you spinning with a lure or a jig?? Epic
i was mostly using spoons but also small lures and paddle tails.
@@FishingEasternCapeSAamazing. Thanks for the reply brother. Wish me luck, going fishing for Cob tomorrow morning in Hermanus 😮
@@nicolasmaritz lekker man. Hope you come right. Tight lines. And remember to release cos Kob are under a lot of pressure.
Hi! I am on Seychelles now in Bel Ombre, is this area free to visit? There's some kind of fence
Yes its free. The fence is behind the rocks, just walk along the rocks.
@@FishingEasternCapeSA thank you
Great day. Been going to this spot 2 times this past week with absolutely zero fish. No bites, no action: :( Maybe not the season
Howzit bru. They will be there. I bet if you get in the water with a mask and have a proper look, you will see kingies and needle fish and small barracuda even. You need to use small lures, had no luck with any big lures. And I found that small shiny silver lures or spoons worked best. Fast retrieve with a small spoon. Let me know if you come right. Unfortunately spoons are not really available to purchase on Mahe. Only that fishing shop on Eden Island have but a very limited selection at ridiculous prices. I would never support that shop unless I absolutely had too. Good luck.
We are going to fly in April. Maybe you can recommend a set of gear so that you don't have to carry a lot! Thanks for the answer!
It really depends on where you plan on fishing and what you are fishing for. If you are fishing off a boat out on the reefs targeting bigger fish then you really need some heavy tackle. But fishing off of Mahe there really arent that many big fish around as overfishing is actually a problem. I took all sorts of rods and reels with but i found that a simple 7ft medium to medium light weight rod was best as all the fish i saw while snorkeling were small. My favourite setup was a Blue Marlin Phoenix Forge 7ft rod and a 3000 Shimano Vanford reel with 25lb berkley black velvet braid. This setup was perfect. Fishing off of Grande Anse side of the island the water was more rough and i needed more length on my rod so i used a 9ft Loomis which was also a light weight rod and a 5000 size Shimano reel with 35lb braid. I hooked a nice big barracuda with this setup, also using a spoon but a slightly bigger spoon.
@@FishingEasternCapeSAThank you very much!! 🙂🤝 I wanted to clarify exactly where this fishing took place , which I saw on the video? I want to fish only from the shore.
@@FishingEasternCapeSAI looked at the entire map of the coast, in the place indicated on the video, I can not understand where you are standing and in which direction you are throwing 🙂 Maybe you will throw off the coordinates !? 🙏🙏🙏
@user-igoraklnfeev its Bel Ombre harbour. Here is the location on Google maps: maps.app.goo.gl/i8r9hjuVYKFt5zvw9
