Member since January 2019 Tigre, 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!

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

Today we went on a 6-hour excursion. We left the port around noon. The tide was in its last two hours of incoming flow. We had a light east-northeast wind. We sailed for approximately 45 minutes to a very good fishing spot at this time of year. It's a series of sandbars and channels with a strong current. Many small fish move there, which are the main food source for golden dorado. We began our first drift over a very hard sandbar, in no more than 3 feet of water. There we had the first bites and managed to land our first golden dorado. As we ran out of water for our drift, we moved to different spots. In all of them, we had very good bites from dorado ranging from 3 to 7 kilos. We used size 10 hooks, tied to 80-pound steel leaders. Today, none of our lines had weights, so all the baits worked in mid-water. In the mid-afternoon, we had a delicious snack. There were different kinds of cold cuts, cheeses, and olives. Around 5 PM, with the wind shifting to the southeast, we began our return to port. The fishing trip yielded: 7 dorado caught on the boat, others that managed to escape, and a new experience fishing on the widest river in the world: the Río de la Plata. Captain Mauricio
