Peacock Bass Fishing in Brazil and Venezuela

Peacock Bass fishing, long regarded by those lucky enough to have experienced it as the ultimate in freshwater Big Game fish.    The ferocity of their topwater strike is their trademark.  When a 10 pound Peacock clears the water and crashes your topwater plug, you’re hooked on Peacock Bass fishing.

Peacock’s range from Panama to southern Brazil in Central and South America.  Panama, although not noted for large Peacock’s offers big numbers of 3 to 10 pound Peacock Bass.

Southern Brazil’s Peacock’s average around 3 pounds and very few get much large.  The water is cooler there and the fish prefer warm tropical waters.

Northern Brazil, primarily on the Rio Negro, not far from Manaus and southern Venezuela on Lake Guri and the Rio Orinoco is where the really big Peacock Bass live.  It is fairly common in these waters on a typical 5 day fishing trip to catch a good number of fish over 15 pounds and frequently around 20 pounds.  These are really big, powerful Peacock Bass.

Lake Guri, in southern Venezuela offer the Peacock angler a chance to catch good numbers of 6 to 15 pound fish and a few 15 to 20 pound Peacocks.

Peacock bass fishing aside, a trip to Central or South America provides the angler with backdrop to his fishing line none he’s seen before.  Lush tropical rain forest, multi colored parrots and Macaws, Howler Monkeys and a range of animals on the shore and around camp like none he’s seen before.  It’s nothing like the Tennessee river or Lake Sam Rayburn.

The people are friendly and very hospitable.

Travel is not that difficult, with adequate preparation.
