Fluvial fishing in the mouth of rivers.
- The mouth of rivers in any part of the world that you find is undoubtedly one of the most convenient ecosystems to fish several species that please all anglers. From snook, sábalos, crumbs, snappers, to crabs and moray eels of good size. Let's touch a little bit on what are the characteristics that make this environment very favorable for fishing from the banks of rivers.
Characteristics that distinguish the mouth of the rivers as a privileged place for riverbank fishing:
Water currents.
- Several currents converge, this is very beneficial because many species follow the flow of currents looking for food, at the mouth of the rivers there are several of these and at the same time change direction according to the tides, so it is logical that many species of fish prowl the area in search of food.
Freshwater, saltwater.
- Brackish water, which is nothing more than the union of fresh and saltwater. So there is the possibility that freshwater species will descend a little more to the saltwater and vice versa, the sea bass, and tarpon, for example, can often be seen entering upstream without any inconvenience.
Lots of sardines, lots of fishing.
- Large numbers of sardines prowl the mouth of the rivers, this is one of the most important aspects of these areas, as behind the sardines almost always come species of good size to attack. In many occasions it can be noticed as in the early mornings very early, the sardine stain enters river inside, and in the afternoons, and with the sunset, go out to sea, these 2 moments are of many attacks by the fish of good size, so if you get a live sardine on your hook in these 2 specific time zones, the odds of catching a fish of good size increase significantly.
The rains will be your accomplices
- When there are heavy downpours in these areas, the mouth of the rivers becomes a delicacy for many species that seek to feed themselves. When the river throws all that current down after the rain, it drags a great number of plants and organic waste that serve for the feeding of many species of both waters.
- If you still haven't tried fishing at the mouth of the rivers, I think you can prove the effectiveness of which I have told you. If you have a river mouth near your area of residence, go for a walk there, take your fishing gear and you can see for yourself the great effectiveness of fishing in these areas.
How to carry out the fluvial fishing in zones of greater vegetation?
- Fluvial fishing in rivers with a lot of vegetationFluvial fishing is very fun and exciting if you practice it correctly and with the seriousness, it requires to achieve good catches. Like fishing in the sea, I hate extracting small species from the water, so I always focus on achieving good catches even if it is river fishing. And in the fishing of rivers and lakes, there are several very effective places to make good catches, among them, are the most vegetation. Tell you some important tips on this aspect that could help you a lot when you decide to go fishing in these places.
And the question is: Why is the abundant vegetation in river fishing a sign of good luck in terms of catches?
- Precisely because the abundant vegetation, or the remains of it, bring refuge and food to a large extent to many freshwater species. To give you just one example, trout are fanatics of loitering underneath suitcases in rivers and dams, I don't know if it has happened to you that you are fishing near an islet and suddenly you notice that a part of the thread is pulled down as if by magic, the safest thing is that behind this show is some trout feeding on shrimp in that area.
- In the case of tilapias, in the previous paragraph, I mentioned the vegetation or the remains of them, by this I mean the dry palisades that at a given time were abundant vegetation and are now dry sticks that stand out above the water. Well, let me tell you that this type of situation is very favorable for both tilapia and trout fishing, because they like to spawn and make their nests in places like the ones I described to you, and you should already know, and if you don't know it now, I'll tell you that when the species are spawning they are the time that they feed most times a day, something very favorable for us fishermen who seek to throw baits in that area precisely.
