All Island Trevally Challenge

SSFC Trevally Challenge – All-Island Edition Returns Bigger Than Ever

Fishing enthusiasts across Seychelles are getting ready for one of the most exciting events on the local angling calendar, the SSFC Trevally Challenge: All-Island Edition.

This popular catch-and-release fishing competition brings together anglers from across Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue, celebrating skill, sportsmanship and a shared passion for Seychelles’ rich marine environment.

What Is the SSFC Trevally Challenge?

Organised by the Seychelles Sport Fishing Club (SSFC), the Trevally Challenge is a shore-based fishing competition focused on trevally species, one of the most powerful and sought-after fish in Seychellois waters.

The All-Island Edition allows registered anglers to fish from approved shoreline spots across the three main islands, making it accessible to a wider fishing community while showcasing the diversity of Seychelles’ coastal fishing locations.

How the Competition Works

Participants compete to catch trevally using approved gear and techniques, with all fish carefully measured, photographed and released back into the ocean.

This format not only keeps the competition fair but also supports responsible and sustainable fishing, ensuring Seychelles’ marine resources are protected for future generations.

Anglers are scored based on:

• Fish size and species

• Adherence to competition rules

• Accurate catch reporting

Live updates and shared results help keep the excitement going throughout the challenge.

More Than Just a Fishing Competition

The SSFC Trevally Challenge has become much more than a contest, it’s a community event that brings together experienced anglers, newcomers and supporters of sustainable sport fishing.

It also highlights:

• Seychelles’ world-class shoreline fishing potential

• Local fishing talent and techniques

• Environmental awareness and conservation

For many participants, it’s as much about camaraderie and island pride as it is about competition.

Who Can Take Part?

The challenge is open to registered SSFC members and approved participants, with categories designed to encourage broad participation, including juniors and women anglers where applicable.

Whether you’re a seasoned shore angler or new to sport fishing, the All-Island Edition offers a unique opportunity to test your skills against some of the best fishing conditions in the region.

A Celebration of Island Fishing Culture

Events like the SSFC Trevally Challenge play an important role in keeping Seychelles’ fishing heritage alive, blending tradition with modern sport fishing practices.

With anglers casting lines from beaches and rocky outcrops across Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, the event truly captures the spirit of island fishing.  Adventurous, respectful and deeply connected to the ocean.
