Season of big fish!!!

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.
