| Amazon River - Peacock Bass
Fishing |
  |
|
| Almost all Amazonian camps fish two anglers per
boat. 20-40-horse outboards and electric trolling motors are
standard equipment throughout the Amazon. Specifics on
non-hosted trips are available on request. The trips
Peacock Bass FIshing
personally host always fish two anglers per boat, with an
experienced Brazilian guide. They use stable 16 foot Lowe tunnel
boats (in certain locations, they may use longer, narrower, flat
bottom, canoe-shaped aluminum hulls to take advantage of their
superior maneuverability). Each boat is equipped with a 40 hp
Yamaha outboard (or a new, four stroke Honda) and an electric
trolling motor. The guides will take you up or down river to
locations that they know to produce fish, or, you are welcome to
explore and try new waters. Most fishing is in the still water
of lagoons connected to the river. Occasionally, under the
right conditions, you may fish in the river itself, in locations
which provide cover for structure loving peacocks. Your guide
will start off each day with a plan so that you have an
opportunity to fish new waters. Of course, if you've found a
spot that you want to return to over and over, feel free to have
your camp manager adjust the plan to accommodate you. The guides are all expert peacock fishermen. They will help
you to locate fish and they can guide you in lure selection.
Peacocks relate to structure, making it very productive to cast
to some tough spots. Don't worry if you get hung up or into the
trees, your guide will promptly recover your lure for you. The
guides are all native to the Amazon, are very well trained and
know the rivers in great detail. They can always make their way
back to camp in the evenings, no matter how far you've wandered
or how lost you might feel. They are also well versed in the
operation and upkeep of their equipment (as well as your fishing
tackle) and can be counted on to make sure that everything works
as it should. All that's left for you to worry about is where
to cast and what to do with that wild thing on the end of your
line once you hook up. |
