Fresh Argentina Fishing Reports

As we are used to, this Argentine classic awaits us with excellent silverside fishing, with more than satisfactory quantity and quality. We left very early and after crossing the Miter Canal a few thousand meters, we set off to dribble with very good results. We got a large number of silversides of good quality, some even weighed up to a kilo. For this occasion we used 19/1 floating lines of the "bellied" type with brads that did not exceed 25 cm in depth. In a year full of difficulties, the Río de la Plata continues to give us reasons to enjoy this beautiful pastime. Take advantage, we are on the eve of what will undoubtedly be an excellent season.

We fish with floating line. For bait, we use a small catfish. Golden dorado season is running up to april. Some times they stay here up to june.

One of the most difficult species of catfish to catch in the Rio de la Plata. It's called Surubi. In this case it is small, it can reach 100kg. We caught it at the mouth of a stream. We use a large eel as bait. Hook 8/0.

For two months now, a new season of exciting golden dorado and giant catfish fishing has begun !! We are drifting with live bait. Both in bottom fishing and floating fishing modalities. The preferred baits are: eels and small fish called "sabalitos". The biggest fish, right now, are swimming in deep water.

We continue fishing great Catfish and very good golden gilthead in the Rio de la Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. There are days that are best fished in depth and others that golden browns take bait very well in the afloat lines. We are sailing around an hour. We use eels and some small fish called cascarudos as bait. Usually, we have big hooks in our lines (8/0 or 9/0). Fishing is done by letting the wind and the current push the boat into areas of large banks, crossed by gutters where the smaller fish that serve as food for the larger ones swim.

Summer fishing is very good. Some golden dorado and some catfish are the usual fishing these days. It is fished in the float and bottom modalities. We use eels and other small fish as live baits. We usually have to navigate an hour to the points of good fishing.
