Fishing Techniques

• For Vampire fish

  Use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as vampire fish have extremely sharp teeth.

• For Black pacu

  Black pacu are primarily herbivorous, so focus on presenting baits and lures that resemble fruits, seeds, or vegetation near structure or in areas with abundant plant life.

• For Butterfly peacock bass

  Target structure like docks, submerged trees, and weed lines, varying your retrieve speed until you find what the fish prefer on that particular day.
