Rio Tubarão cuts through Santa Catarina, 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.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Fat snook

    Fish near structure like docks, mangroves, and bridges, as fat snook are ambush predators that like to hide and dart out for prey.

  • For Trahira

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

  • 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.
