Neue Argentinien Angelberichte

We had just come from a week of storms, cloudy skies, and a sharp drop in temperature. In fact, at the time of our fishing trip, we had south-southwest winds with strong gusts. We started fishing with mid-water and floating lines in areas with an average depth of 10 feet. The water temperature was 20 degrees Celsius. During the morning, we drifted at the mouths of large rivers. We had a few bites that we couldn't land. Around midday, we fished in smaller streams that were flowing out, and finally, in the afternoon, we moved again to an area of large sandbars surrounding a deep channel that runs north/south. We baited with small fish and eels. In this area, the bites started, and now we could finally land the golden dorado in our boat. We finished a day of fishing with sun, fish, and lots of joy! Although the water temperature is lower than it was a few weeks ago, it's just a matter of finding the areas where the golden dorado continue to feed year-round. Thanks, and until the next fishing trip! Captain Mauricio

Today we started the day with very cloudy skies, some rain, and a southeasterly wind with gusts of up to 30 knots. Because of this, we had to fish in the channels and along the coast with plenty of trees, to be sheltered from the wind. We drift-fished from the bank where the wind was coming from. We crossed the channel and, upon reaching the opposite bank, repeated the process. We fished with floating and mid-water lines. We used size 10 hooks and eels and small live fish called shad as bait. Several catfish took the eel bait very well. Using small fish as bait, we managed to land two golden dorado and a tararira (similar to a wolffish). Once the fishing day was over, with clouds on the horizon and the rain replaced by sunshine, we began our return to port, happy to have enjoyed a beautiful day of fishing. Until next time!

We started the day with a gentle north-northeast wind. The tide was rising throughout the entire trip. Today we chose to fish an area of sandbanks bordering a deep channel. We used both floating and mid-water lines. Almost all the bites came on the floating lines baited with live shad. After several missed strikes, we managed to land two nice golden dorado. On the mid-water line, we only had one very violent strike that ended up breaking the line. This line was baited with a medium-sized yellow catfish. We also used eels as bait. On this line, only small fish bit, which couldn't reach the tandem hooks.

Today we started the day with a gentle east-northeast wind. We sailed along the Río de la Plata (the widest river in the world) to a deep channel running north-south. We began drifting over the sandbar to the east. For bait, we used live eels and some fish called sábalos. The first two fish were large catfish (between 12 and 16 kilos). With powerful runs and tail thrashes, they put up a great fight! As the wind shifted to east-southeast and increased in intensity, we also landed two golden dorado (the largest reached almost 10 kilos) and several smaller catfish. With the wind now gushing to 24 knots and the waves getting bigger, we sailed to a sheltered stream. There we had lunch and even had several bites from fish with strong teeth that devoured all our bait. We finally managed to hook a very nice tararira (it's similar to a wolf fish). If you're interested in learning more about fishing for species in the Río de la Plata, please feel free to write to me and I'll be happy to answer. Keep your lines taut! Captain Mauricio

It’s been a while since we last shared a fishing update, but fortunately we’ve been running with almost fully booked schedules. The fishing season in Buenos Aires this year has been outstanding. On January 20, we had the pleasure of sharing a fishing day with Philip and his daughter Emily. They chose our 6-hour fishing trip, and it turned out to be an exceptional experience. Fishing with a father and daughter who genuinely enjoy spending time together on the water always adds something special to the day. Conditions were good, with steady action throughout the trip. We caught dorados and catfish, making for a varied and exciting day on the river. Great moments, solid fishing, and quality time shared on the water. It was a pleasure to have Philip and Emily on board, and we hope to welcome them back again.

Today we went for a short trip. There was a light north/northwest wind. The tide was coming in and there was plenty of sunshine. The water temperature is 27 degrees Celsius. All the bites were on rigs with one or two hooks, fishing in mid-water. We used small live baitfish. The best fishing was in an area of sandbars, with depths of no more than 3 feet. As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to write to me so I can respond as soon as possible. Thank you very much, tight lines, and best wishes! Captain Mauricio
