Mauricio Oñate

Member since January 2019 Buenos Aires, Argentina
Background
I've been fishing since I was 3 years old, and sailing since I was 18 – now I'm over 50 years of age, and I have fished and sailed in waters all over the world! I practice almost all types of fishing. I manage and direct my own fishing, nautical and tourism services, and graduated in Social Communication and Counseling. During part of my working life I worked in corporate companies, managing the commercialization of services with global clients, which has led to me becoming fluent in 3 languages. When I go on vacation, I choose destinations where I can combine my free time and plenty of rest and relaxation with...fishing!

Why 4 hours for joy??
Why 4 hours for joy??
Jan 16, 2024 Buenos Aires
Many people ask us why we don't have fishing tours of fewer hours. We, after 36 years of experience fishing in these waters, explain to you: you are going to be fishing in the widest river in the world!!! This is not easy, but it is terribly exciting my friend. With Delta Aventura Buenos Aires, you will be sailing and fishing in the Paraná Delta Biosphere Reserve. Designated by UNESCO in 2000 and expanded in 2007. It is located in the Province of Buenos Aires, in the second and third sections of the Islands of the Buenos Aires Delta (Lower Delta). To be able to do reasonably good fishing, in a natural and unpolluted environment, you need no less than 4 hours. They also ask us: Is there a concentration of fish in closer places? Yes, in sewage drainage areas and port areas very close to Buenos Aires. Due to the dumping of waste, these areas serve as concentrators of small fish that are attractive to hunting fish. The problem is that you will be exposed to water pollution, noise pollution that comes from port activity and environmental pollution that comes from Buenos Aires, with its almost eighteen millions inhabitants. For all these reasons and because fish usually choose to live in beautiful places, that is why we sail and fish in natural reserve areas. This is why it takes no less than 4 hours to enjoy nature and a beautiful fishing trip. Any questions, I remain at your disposal. Thank you very much and tight lines! Captain Mauricio
