About Rio São José dos Dourados

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 South American silver croaker

    Vary your retrieve speed and depth until you find what the fish are responding to that day, focusing on areas with structure.

  • For Golden dorado

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

  • For Giant trahira

    Fish near structure such as submerged logs, rocks, and vegetation, as Giant Trahira are ambush predators.
