Targeting the rich waters of La Guaira and the hugely productive underwater ridge known as El Placer, Venezuela Fishing operate a reputable charter aboard their 40’ Luhrs SeaFighter, looking for blue and white marlin, as well as sailfish, dorado, wahoo and tuna.
A remote yet well-appointed lodge, lying deep in Venezuela on the Paragua River. Anglers making this trip do so usually with one species in mind – the fang-toothed prehistoric powerhouse that is the payara. There’s also the possibility of hooking up to the occasional aymara. At night, anglers are made comfortable in the upscale jungle lodgings. For the dedicated freshwater angler looking for a new adventure, this is a unique opportunity.
Head off to the south-eastern reaches of Venezuela in search of the world’s most colourful and aggressive predator – the peacock bass. It’s remote and a long way from most places, but it’s worth it. Staying at Peacock Bay Lodge gives the angler a genuine chance of catching a 15lb-plus peacock bass and the possibility of hooking up to an average of 10 to 20 fish a day.
