Fishing Techniques

• For Piavuçu

  Fish near submerged structure like fallen trees or weed beds, as Piavuçu often ambush prey from cover. Vary your retrieve speed to find what triggers a strike.

• For Golden dorado

  Target areas with fast-moving water near submerged logs or rocky outcroppings, as golden dorado often ambush prey from these locations.
