Fishing Techniques

• For Small-scaled pacu

  Present your bait or lure near submerged vegetation or fallen trees, as pacu often seek shelter and food in these areas. Use a strong line and hook due to their powerful jaws.

• For Trahira

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

• For Redbreast tilapia

  Redbreast tilapia are often found near vegetation, so target those areas and use slow retrieves to entice strikes.
