FISHING REPORTS
PEACOCK BASS FISHING REPORTS
Fishing is average, despite substantial rainfall and high water levels. A total of 789 fish were landed by 19 anglers, 81 of which were in the 10 - 16 lbs. class, 11 were in the 17 - 19 lbs. class, 1 was 20 lbs., 1 was 21 lbs. and 1 was 24 lbs. (these are true weights … sometimes in the Amazon the 17-19 lbs. class are considered 20 lbs. trophies…) Last week totals: 2.669 fish were landed by 33 anglers, of which 297 were in the 10-16 lbs. class, 30 were in the 17-19 lbs. class, 6 were 20 lbs., 1 was 21 lbs., and 1 was 22 lbs.
Fishing in terms of numbers has been good, despite substantial rainfall and mediocre water levels. However, River Plate was able to place multiple operations over the water falls on the Unini river where water levels are perfect. A total of 1.657 fish were landed by 33 anglers, 217 of which were in the 10 - 16 lbs. class, 12 were in the 17 - 19 lbs. class and 1 was 20 lbs. (these are true weights … sometimes in the Amazon the 17-19 lbs. class are considered 20 lbs. trophies…) Last week was the best for this season for trophies:
3.286 fish were landed by 21 anglers, of which 350
were in the 12-18 lbs. class, 19 were 19 lbs., 10 were
20 lbs., 2 were 21 lbs., 3 were 22 lbs., 1 was 24 lbs.
and 1 was 25 lbs.
Fishing in terms of trophy fish
has been good, despite mediocre water levels in all
rivers. A total of 1.857 fish were landed by 25 anglers, 168
of which were in the 12 - 18 lbs. class, 4 were 19
lbs., 9 were 20 lbs., 1 was 21 lbs., 3 were 22 lbs.
and 1 was 25 lbs. Please note the large amount of 19 pounders and over. These are honest trophy weight classifications. There is a growing tendency among others outfitters to “transfer” the 17-19 trophies in the 20 lbs. category. Moreover, there is also a growing tendency among others outfitters to troll, instead of cast, for trophy fish which is not necessary in our remote low fishing pressure areas. |
