Common fish species to catch

I’ve seen names of different species mentioned, but it’s hard to tell what people usually end up catching on a normal trip. I don’t have a bucket-list fish in mind, just curious what’s common out there and what beginners or casual anglers can expect most of the time.

From what I experienced, tuna and bonito came up pretty often, especially during longer outings, and we also saw mahi-mahi depending on the day. Some trips focus more on variety than size, which keeps things fun. When I booked my fishing charter in seychelles, the crew explained what was realistic for that season and adjusted the plan around it. Having expert fishing crews onboard really helps, especially during ocean fishing adventures where conditions can change and expectations need to stay flexible.
