The golden dorado are still eating!!

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).
