In the following day, we decide to try the Salsa River . Already in the ascent we were in coming across with tucunarés in the band of 1 the 1.5 kg, disputed, handspan the handspan, artificial ours iscas, with braves robalos-peva. A madness! The notice happyest, in this point of the trip was the fact of that, there, it fishes it predatory of diving and networks do not have time, thanks to the action of some local farmers, who do not give moleza to the bad fishing. Only this attitude of a small one, but influential group of true ecologists makes of the Parsley the best river of the South of the Bahia.   Favours, mainly to the Salsa River , Canavieiras is, with certainty, the best fishing boat of the South of the Bahia, with easy slope, simple, however acolhedoras gasoline and inns. pg. 196

Robalo

 

General features - the robalos live foreground in coastal and estuarinas waters, being able to be found in the high part of the rivers. Fish and crustaceans feed themselves mainly of. They are considered, in relation to the meat, as fish of excellent quality. As characteristic generalities we can say that are fish of prolongated body, tablet, with the accented dorsal profile. The small teeth are e the daily pay-operculo with serreada margin. For Brazil they are registered 4 undecimalis species Centropomus and Centropomus parallelus, with distribution of the Flórida to the south of Brazil; Centropomus ensiferus and Centropomus pectinatus, with distribution of the Flórida to Rio De Janeiro. 

Using Artificial Baits - it fishes of robalo with artificial bait can in such a way be executed in the estuary of the river, in the sea, how much in the headboard, being that, in the headboard and body of the river, the efficiency is observed more. The used poles more are of weighed average and average action, string of 17 20lb with start of 25 30lb. Baits more efficient is of half water and deep (" Jigs, Shads or Grubs "). In the estuary of the river I hurl it must be executed in turbulence areas that are without occurrence of the tide. A good tip is to place in the tip of the string a triangular lead and to a pitch of 80 cm, a connecting rod of 50 cm with bait. This technique I observed an old fisherman to use, allows that bait is in the place adjusted for more time. It drags it must be slow. For it fishes of robalo in rivers can the same be used described equipment for the estuary. The great difference is the method of fishes. Robalo is a carnivorous fish and predator that are sheltered in the way of galhadas, trunks of trees or rocks the wait of its canine tooth, foreground small fish and shrimps. It uses tactics of hunting in the margin with clear water and movement. Therefore, this is the ideal environment for the accomplishment of fishes. 

Using Natural Baits - it fishes of robalo with bait natural, depends very on the ability of the fisherman, of the type of bait (that it can vary very depending on the environment) and equipment. Usually, the alive shrimp, lambari uses itself and/or piaba. 

Fishing in the Estuary of the River - In this environment robalo more found is the " puncture " or " arrow ". The equipment will have to be prepared with pole of weighed average and average action, of 6 the 7 feet, string 20lb and start of 30lb. The whip must approximately have 3 positional hooks to a pitch of 25 cm the 30 cm, with connecting rod of 15 cm the 20 cm. The lead will have to be triangular and compatible with the assembled equipment. A good tip is to use, if the deep one of the place of fishes will be arenaceous, a lead with 4 connecting rods in " x ", to serve as anchor. The launching will have to be executed in agitated water places, without current. The best observed tide is the flood. Bait recommended is manjuba,Anchoviella lepidontostole, but the small Tainha, also is a good option. Some fishing prefer the shrimp alive. An interesting tip is the way to place bait in the hook. It removes the head and the tail of bait and places it of form that the tip of the hook is in the region volume of bait. Mount bait thus this is strained in the hook, preventing folds. 

Fishing in the Headboard and Body of the River - In this environment robalo more found is " peba " or " peva ", Centropomus paralellus. Important for the choice of the place of it fishes is to know if physical barriers exist that make it difficult the migration of these fish. It uses a pole of 6 feet, string 17lb and 20 start of or 30lb. The best one, baits verified are lambari, Astyanax spp. and the alive shrimp. These baits, how much alive, they must be bait in the following way: lambari, to arrest the hook in the dorsal region, above of the pectoral nadadeira; the shrimp must soon be baited in the dorsal region after the head. This method is basic for the maintenance of bait alive and to allow the movement. The launching must be carried through to a pitch of 10 the 15 meters, always in places that exist shelters in the margin or the substratum. Fallen Galhadas and trunks are an excellent option. 

It fishes with Buoy - One used technique with frequency for fishes of robalo is the buoy use. This technique is used in places that exist enroscos (galhadas, rocks, etc.). The use of the buoy allows the fluctuation of bait natural, preventing probable losses of equipment. The equipment must be assembled using the following material: pole with capacity for string of, at the very least, 17Lb; string of 0,30mm; hooks 2/0 the 1/0; buoy of isopor capable to float with the equipment; lead of approximately 30g. Matching the string that crosses the buoy and matches to the lead, must be fixed a destorcedor. The string of ties up to it must be of 0,45mm 0,50mm. Main baits is: the alive shrimp, lambari alive and with lesser efficiency, pieces of manjuba (Anchoviella lepidentostole). 

It fishes of Run - For the accomplishment of it fishes of run of robalo, we must have the following equipment: carretilhas or reeles that they hold, at the very least, 150m of string 0,30mm of diameter; main string with 0,30mm of diameter; string of transparent start of 0,50mm of diameter; lead of the oliva type of approximately 50g; destorcedor and hooks 1/0 or 2/0. The starts must have 80cm of size. It places in the extremity of the string of the start the lead and in the other extremity the destorcedor that will bind to the main string. To a pitch of 20cm of chunbo, it inserts a connecting rod (rabicho) perpendicular to the main string, also with 0,50mm of diameter, 30cm of size, where the hook will be fixed. Best bait for this modality of fishes is the alive shrimp, mainly for bay, manguezais and the estuaries. Lambari, also can be used, mainly in environments of lagoons and rivers where they are abundant. The alive shrimp must after soon be baited the carcass of the head, in muscular region and lambari, muscular region soon below of the dorsal nadadeira. This method consists of leaving the boat to the drift, exploring the environment. Bait a in the water must full be launchn, liberating the string until the lead to reach the deep one, collecting approximately 0.50 1,0m of string. It constantly verifies the depth in the place. 

Comment - robalo is a fish that dumb its behavior with much easiness. Some ambient alterations can intervene consideravelmente with its behavior as: winds, movement of the tides, temperature, transparency of the water, materials in suspension, atmospheric pressure, rain, luminosity, etc. 

A good advice is to know the place upper-class of fishes and to always write down the features of each would fish. 

Other Information - With the temperature of the upper water the 21°C becomes active in the surface. Below of this until approximately 15°C can be found to the half deep water and. Temperature inferior the 10°C can be lethal for robalo. 
The atmospheric pressure is basic for its fishes, where the ideal goes between 1015mb and 1017mb. 

Accessories - string 17lb (7.7 kg), pole of 1.65, reel that holds 100 string m 20lb. Is important, depending on the place where it is if fishing, to match the string with a transparent start of 20lb 30lb.
