Concordia is generous with piques

The promise of the great dorados that inhabit the Uruguay River is a great motivation for the sport fisherman. With the usual enthusiasm and expectation, we arrived at the city of Concordia. We imagine great fishing.

The departure is made in two turns. The first was from 6:00 to 8:00 in the morning and the second from 12:00 to 15:00. We use 2.10 m boarding type rods, between 20 and 30 lbs. resistance, spinning reels in size 300 and 400, loaded with 60 lbs. multifilament.

Frontal reels, size 4000, were also used, since at times we had to make long spears for our baits or lures to reach the place where the dorados lurked. The recommended It is to carry two teams per fisherman, for any eventuality that could happen when facing these true beasts.

After embarking and navigating a short distance through the mirror, the guide approached the dam very cautiously, since the river is at a level very low and outcroppings of stones are seen everywhere.

Already in the place we began to make the first attempts with natural bait, 10/0 hooks and leaders from 60 to 80 lbs. The answers were immediatea lot of pique, a lot of activity and the adrenaline to the fullest.

We caught more than 20 dorados that weighed between seven and 10 kilos, although the guide assured us that there were much larger specimens, which we were able to verify some time later. Really fantastic, we couldn’t believe it. It is one thing to be told and another is to live it. We were able to specify the ports of 12, 15, 18 and up to 20kgsome real beasts or, said more affectionately, pigs.

In my case, I used an artificial that they manufacture there, called feather duster, a kind of fioco with through lead of about 70 to 90 g, which allows it to go down quickly and be attacked by the dorados. It really appears wonderful, and the advantage it has is that if one misses the pike, it continues to work the same and is taken by another gold.

Concord is a privileged site For the fishing of dorados, surubies and bogas, a totally recommendable place.
