Today we chose a banked area crossed by a channel, approximately a 45-minute boat ride from the port. We fished with the river rising for about three hours and the rest of the day with the river falling. All fishing was done by drifting. We took advantage of the wind to cross the channel several times, heading northwest to southeast. On most of our passes, we found the fish feeding close to the bank on the windward side. We used floating lines (with a buoy) and midwater lines. We used small live fish as bait. Graphite and carbon rods. Front and rotating reels were loaded with 30-pound multifilament line. The air temperature in the morning was 5 degrees Celsius and reached 16 degrees Celsius by midday. The water temperature remained between 14.8 and 15.9 degrees Celsius throughout the day. We finally landed three golden dorado and several catfish. Many thanks to my anglers today! It was a pleasure sharing my boat with them. Captain Mauricio

We went on a four-hour fishing trip. This time it was in the afternoon, after a morning with a rising river, some rain, low water pressure, and a strong northerly wind. This time we chose to drift fish in an area of banks and small channels about a 45-minute sail from the port. Almost halfway between Argentina and Uruguay. Some lines were weighted with a 10-gram lead, and one was rigged with a sliding buoy, allowing the bait to work at a depth of 80 centimeters. We used several types of live bait: eels, moray eels, and small fish with the hook through their backs. We were able to catch several golden dorado and ultimately landed six or seven on the boat. The water is still warm (25/27 degrees Fahrenheit depending on whether it's a bank or a channel), which makes the dorados very aggressive and eager to take bait. Towards sunset, the wind shifted to the south/southeast, and the intensity of the golden dorado strikes diminished. Only a few piranhas were eating our bait. We decided the fishing was done and sailed back to the port without any problems. As always, if you have any questions or would like to know more about fishing in Argentina, please don't hesitate to contact me. Captain Mauricio

After several days of storms and bad weather, the sun finally came out today. The wind was from the north-northeast all day. The river started to drop at 11 AM. The water temperature was 29 degrees on the banks and 27 in the channels. As bait we used small fish (catfish and sábalos), some eels and moray eels. What the Golden Dorados liked the most today were the sábalos) We fished with lines with two 8/0 hooks, mounted on a 30 lb. steel leader, one of the lines, with a buoy that helped the bait work at 80 cm. from the surface. We had bites on all of them!!! Unlike other days, today there were fewer dorados, but all were bigger (between 4 and 7 kilos) We had a wonderful day!!! Tomorrow we return to look for more Golden Dorados!! Captain Mauricio
