Big Game Fishing Maldives

Small bait. Big predators.
Livebait day with Eddie Egloff French group from Escape Fly Fishing
Using small baitfish of around 10 cm, the goal was simple:
Find feeding fish — and let nature do the work.
The result:
• multiple yellowfin tuna
• dogtooth tuna
• needlefish
• barracuda
Sometimes, the smallest bait attracts the biggest attention.

One trip. Different ways to fish.

The French group around Eddie Egloff didn’t just focus on one style of fishing.

During their stay with us:

• flats fly fishing
• livebait fishing
• spinning with Jupiter 10

Today: spinning session.

A mixed day with different species:

• GT
• Bluefin trevally
• Red snapper
• Grouper
• Barracuda

Different techniques.
Different species.
Different moments.

That’s what fishing in the Maldives can look like.

From the flats… to the sunset
After days in the flats, our guests from China wanted a change.

Heading out in the evening, fishing into the sunset.

• different grouper species
• one wahoo

Same anglers.
Different style.
Different experience.

That’s what fishing in the Maldives is about.

Flats fly fishing with Adam.

Walking, spotting and making it count.

• 4 Bluefin trevally
• 6 GT

Clear water.
Right timing.
Precise shots.

This is what flats fishing is about.

Jupiter Sunrise Lodge
More than just fishing.

Fly fishing doesn’t stop in the flats.
Fly fishing in the Maldives is not just about the flats.

When conditions allow, we take it further —
out into open water.

From the boat, we actively search for fish,
tease them up and present the fly.

Different technique.
Different approach.
Same precision.

This is fly fishing beyond the flats.

10 Hours. Real Fishing. No Compromises.

This is where it all starts.
Fly fishing in the flats of the Maldives.

Walking, spotting, timing the shot —
this is pure fishing.

Our guests from China experienced exactly that:

• GT on fly
• Bluefin trevally
• shallow water action

Every fish earned.

Every cast counts.

Sebastian and Jenny out on Jupiter 10 for a popping session.
Calm seas, clean water and active fish made for a great day:
GTs
Bluefin Trevally
and one solid fish among them

Not every day is about records
but days like this are exactly what makes popping in the Maldives so special.

life and fishing at Jupiter Sunrise Lodge continues.

Our guests Jenny & Sebastian arrived via direct flight and went straight into action:

We adapt.
We keep fishing.
We keep delivering.

OFFSHORE REPORT
A great mix of fish was landed including:

• Giant Trevallies
• Bluefin Trevally
• Yellowfin Tuna
• Dogtooth Tuna

But the ocean always has its own plans.

One Yellowfin got hit by a shark during the fight, a reminder of how wild and unpredictable these waters can be.

Powerful runs, unexpected moments and non-stop action throughout the day.

That’s offshore fishing in the Maldives.

OFFSHORE REPORT — Jupiter 9
The plan on Jupiter 9: trolling and livebait fishing offshore.
The Indian Ocean delivered a classic big-game mix:
• Yellowfin Tuna
• Wahoo
• Sailfish
Heavy tackle, powerful runs and long fights made it a true offshore session.
Another great day chasing pelagic predators in the Maldives.
