Fishing Report Week 1: June 23 – 28, 2025

Kickstarting a new season

584 Peacocks boated by 8 anglers

We started our 2025-2026 Amazon fishing season by hosting the repeating Conner party, from Alabama, in the Abacaxis River. Over a short fishing week (four and a half days) they managed to catch 584 peacocks, with a couple of 18 pounders as the highlights.

WATER LEVELS at our South-East Fishing Zone are still a bit above ideal levels, but as we progress through the dry season in the southern Amazon they should fall nicely.

WEATHER FORECAST: We have just moved our River Trains into our South-East Zone, where we expect very little rainfall in the foreseeable future, as opposed to the northern areas of the Amazon jungle. This is shown by our 7 day accumulated rainfall forecast, which you can see below:

Heavy Peacocks lurking clear waters

We started Week 6 of our season hosting the long-time-repeating Moreira group. They enjoyed great fishing in the shallow and gin-clear waters of the Marmelos rivers. The group managed to reel in a bunch of heavy units in the upper teens with the biggest weighing 19 pounds.

Weather: Clear skies, sporadic cloud cover. Our South-East forecasts show some cloud cover with chances of short showers for the next 10 days.

Light at the end of the tunnel

565 Peacocks boated by 4 anglers

Week 5 started with chaos and stress at the airports. Flights were grounded and our anglers struggled to get out of the US. Only 4 of the originally planned 8 anglers made it. We were delighted that our lucky 4 managed to get to Brazil (after Ubers, new flight tickets, etc.) but gutted that 4 missed their trip of a lifetime.
All in all, our anglers experienced what Peacocks are about while enjoying fine Amazonian weather.

Weather: Clear skies, hot and humid. The usual. Our South-East forecasts show no rain for the next week. Water levels are still going down at a stable rate as expected.

Groups: 1

Anglers: 4

Peacock Bass Count: 565

Biggest: 17 lbs

Over 8lbs: 16

*Other less aggressive tropical species were left out of the fishing tally.
