Caura

Caura cuts through Sucre, Venezuela 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 Caura — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For Common snook

  When fishing around docks, skip your lure as far under as possible to reach snook hiding in the shade, as they are ambush predators.

• For Common dolphinfish

  When you hook one dolphinfish, leave it in the water near the boat as this will often keep the school around for you to catch more.

• For Speckled peacock bass

  Focus on areas with structure like submerged trees, rock piles, or sharp drop-offs as Speckled peacock bass are ambush predators.
