About Rio Mamanguape
Rio Mamanguape cuts through Paraíba, Brazil and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Rio Mamanguape — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques
- For Gafftopsail sea catfish
Use a fish finder to locate schools of gafftopsail catfish around structure or channels, then present your bait or lure near the bottom where they are feeding.
- For Florida pompano
Use a Carolina rig with live or cut bait when fishing the surf for pompano, especially when targeting deeper troughs.
- For Striped mojarra
Mojarra are often found in schools, so if you catch one, stick around, there are likely more. Use a small hook and light line as they have relatively small mouths and can be easily spooked.
