Lagoa do Peixe

Lagoa do Peixe is a saltwater spot in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and the kind of place where tide does most of the work. The hours either side of high water tend to be the most productive on the coast here. At Lagoa do Peixe, structure — reefs, drop-offs, headlands, harbour walls — concentrates baitfish, and predators follow. A good local rule: if the bait isn't where you expect it to be, the fish won't be either.

Fishing Techniques

• For Trahira

  Target structure like weed beds and submerged logs, as traíra are ambush predators. Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs.

• For Pale catfish

  Fish near submerged structures, as pale catfish often congregate in these areas. Use a slow retrieve, allowing the bait or lure to stay in the strike zone longer.

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.
