He Paraná de las Palmas It is a river of humors. With a lot of human pressure marked by industries on its banks and a heavy load of river navigation, Fishing in this nearby watercourse is not easy, but it has its twists and turns to achieve trophies in all four seasons. And this summer, which is in full swing, Better option is tempting his great vogues, which can sometimes reach 6 kilos. But, as we said, it is a changing, capricious river, where a day of calm waters and successful fishing is followed by another with the river falling sharply and a surface covered with islands of camalotes that makes all attempts unbearable.
This variability makes the local fishermen are pay attention to the condition of the river to take advantage of it when appropriate. Its proximity to fishing areas allows locals to take advantage of both daytime and nighttime periods, since in attempts with omnivores (bogas and carp, which are part of the usual menu) it performs very well at both times.
The visitor, on the other hand, must be in contact with his trusted guide and ready for a quick trip before the long-awaited “coming” of our friend. And after several outings canceled at the last minute, the call came from our local guide: Fabio Rodríguez, popularly known as El Pupi, who keeps his boat at the Campana Boat Club, and that’s where we went.
Another great neighboring fisherman joined the game, since he is from Zárate, the creator of Alep lines, Alejandro Pérez. And precisely in the preparation of tackle and sinkers to use is one of the many keys to this fishing that has been going very well.
The teams
To battle with bags of up to 6 kilos o tents two digits are used powerful rods, of at least 25 pounds (1 lb = 0.493 kg) of resistance, from 2.10 to 2.50 m, preferably for rotary (although it does not mean that it cannot be done with a front) according to the length of A line which will be extended for better results between meter fifty and meter eighty. Unless the water runs low, which is the rarest situation, we will not shorten that length. The lines are made with a T-shaped rotor from which a branch line ends in a swivel. To this swarm we tied three leads with very good quality hooks. They can be the Maruseigo 18 or a Chinu 1/0 or 2/0. In my case it was the Mustad Big Gun in number 4 (or 2 if there are fish of considerable size). These large hooks are the ones that guarantee not losing the fish in an activity that usually involves few bites and you should not make a mistake. The tanzas of branches must be 0.60 at least. If in the reel we have multifilamentlet it be from 0, 20, never thicker, to cut the water well when fishing at depth. But we must yes or yes splice an outlet of 6 to 8 m of nylon to cushion the impact of headbutts and dives from the boats. If we use direct multi, we will probably tear his lip when nailing them or in the fight.
Guides generally prefer 0.35 or 0.40 nylon. But the substantial difference is that, with the multi, less lead is used, while with nylon we will probably have to use sinkers up to 180 g; With multi we can lose up to 50 g. Another advantage in favor of multifilament is not picking up as much dirt. And speaking of sinkers, using sinkers with wire hooks allows you to fish with less weight than if you didn’t have them. Fishing is done searching for depths of 8 to 17 m, more regularly between 12 and 15 m. Anchoring here requires a very heavy grampy anchor, with no less than 60 m of rope. With less rope we will not anchor at a good depth.
Used to bait an onion bag full of corn (normally a 20-liter bucket is added) and that bag, with a couple of cuts to break it down, is lowered to a depth that is 3 or 4 m above the anchor. That is baiting underneath the boat. Another alternative is to throw a dead body (weight) under the boat, with the bag tied. We have it closer there, but this method has the drawback that if the corn runs out, we don’t find out, and then the bag rises and generates snags when one is fighting a fish. Another third option is to drop the anchor drum and send us upriver about 80 m, to throw the corn in a fan shape and hope that it anchors in the fishing area. But this method is more random, while the previous ones better focus the concentration of grains.
After the bait, comes the wait. Normally, when the water starts to stop and starts moving In rising, the spike is activated. When it goes down it is more difficult and there is also the inconvenience of the shrimp and garbage on the bottom, which begin to get tangled in the fishing lines. That is why, at night, where the flood usually occurs, better fishing can be done, but this is not because of the light but because of the tide.
Encarnes
The ideal is to use I eat well-rotten corn as bait, filling the hook with grains threaded through the soft part. “Sometimes we soak it in July so that it is ready for November,” says Alejandro Pérez, who lets it ferment “in the sunshine.”
There are also times when a flour and semitin dough is used, but fishermen almost always avoid it because it is highly appreciated by catfish. For the same reason baits are avoided that work in other places but here are too tempting for the mustachioed, such as salami, heart or shad posts. If catfish are caught with corn, with these alternative baits the presence of unwanted catfish multiplies. Using only corn, carp or bogas will generally be the ones that bite.
Having a large flake is essential, almost as much as the expertise of the person who operates it – which is normally the guide – to know the exact moment in which to do the bonneting, as the locals call the action of coping a piece.
Finally, in terms of places, it should be noted that in the first half of summer, normally fishing is more on the city side, while At the end of the season the island area, crossing the river, will be more productive. In addition to the boat classics like “the 500” or the area in front of the Campana Boat Club, successful coastal attempts can be made in the Campana public dock (free access and located on the coastal promenade), at the Boat Club dock (exclusively for members) or on the Zárate waterfront. Another option is to make the crossing to the Negro Flores fishing boaton the coast opposite Campana, where there is an extensive baited dock.
The strong months for bogue fishing they are November and December (which in this season were very irregular from the climatological point of view) and then February and March, when the season is already well established (and if it is hot, until the end of April). So, go ahead and schedule. Campana as a fishing destination, which The best is yet to come.
