Rio Jabiberi

Running through Sergipe, Brazil, Rio Jabiberi is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Rio Jabiberi hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques

• For Trahira

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

• For Northern red snapper

  When fishing for Northern red snapper, use heavy tackle and braided line to handle their strong runs and the structure they inhabit; also consider chumming to attract them to your area.

• For Oceanic puffer

  Oceanic puffers are often caught as bycatch, so targeting areas where they are known to congregate while fishing for other species can increase your chances of catching them. Use heavier tackle due to their powerful jaws.
