Boat show 2005

By: Gabriel "La Foca" Carrera

Of the 29 of September to the 10 of October of 2005 Boat show 2005 was carried out, in the Nautical estate of Park San Fernando, new permanent seat of the Argentine Boat show, in the street Admiral Martin and the Luján river, between the Day-care center Canestrari and the Club Windward.

But in 120 companies they participated in the sample, completes and for all the tastes, all type of boats, commerce of accessories and the infaltable presence and collaboration of the Naval Prefecture Argentina could be observed.

We like fishermen, were interested in the suitable boats but for our activity, finding in the Argentine market a great variety of options, semi-rigid helmets, comfortable and safe boats of the type “Trucker”, boat of different lengths including the type “Cuddy” characterized to have a small stateroom.

Also we could observe boats designed exclusively for the fishing with artificial, some of them tell on an agreed surface the movements that must make the fisherman who uses a fly equipment, allowing him to move freely.
 

In a familiar frame, comfortable and patch to the Luján River it was possible to be enjoyed splendid primaverales afternoons, although a storm complicó the inauguration of the event, the rest of the days was very pleasant and thousands of people could enjoy the event outdoors

Two exits to the Salty one of Monastery
Going to look for tarariras with fly before the heat tightens is, almost always, an adventure destined to the failure.

Tararira, a hunting and territorial fish par excellence has its habitat in almost all the lagoons of the province of Buenos Aires. It is a very influenciable fish by the low temperatures to the point so that a winter with frosts followed during several days better room temperature forces them to recostar itself in the coast looking for and can be hunted simply pushing them with the foot the surface. In these cases a great loss of life of them takes place. In the winter of the 2004 this it happened in almost all the Province which did that the season of 2004/2005 not outside the best ones.

They are protected in winter
When it begins the autumn tararira vanishes as by enchantment. As a call to the recuesta conservation in the muddy bottoms and is calmed down until its evolutionary call again puts it into action. When the spring arrives, they look for places where the temperature of the water maintains them comfortable in its egg-laying and is the moment for going to look for but the great ones. The colds that still remain in the volume of the water not stop them in their reproductive work but they do not have the same aggressive and territorial activity that they develop as the summer enters.

A fish to take care of
Hungry after a winter subsisting with its physical reserves easy prey does of the fishermen who look for it with bait. at the beginning of season.

They are the times at which the slaughters of tarariras done by the “sport fishermen” are despiadadas. As well as it is easy to fish them with bait, something but difficult with decoys and almost impossible with fly becomes. Tararira is a fish to which not yet the respect is had to him that deserves. Taking artificial, is aggressive, captures of interesting sizes are obtained and is of delicious meat.

Ours first incursion
We decided that already we could fish them with fly. Not to touch we let the decoys to us in house and if some took a line to do it with bait, it did not use it. There were the Salty one of Monasteri in km 144 of route 2. The single dirt road was possible to cross it so that we followed the track of which it had entered before we and that it facilitated our arrival. Nor it is happened to them to go in car to this lagoon if they do not know clearly the state of the way that takes them from route 2.

The chosen place
The lagoon is small, of thin rush and quite clean water. It is a confluence of pluvial water-drainages and this year it is, the enough discharge, like being able to fish tarariras before the rush. Ideal to be able to castear with fly canes and to send strategic decoys to places without moving of the coast. There is a water entrance that is high and mighty in juncales that a small stream forms that empties in the lagoon. It is on the right margin and it is easy to realize because the juncal is tightened and it puts in the field.  That was our place, but the potters who entered already had occupied it before and we did not want to bother. Lagoon exceeded. We followed about thousand meters ahead and we found beautiful bays to be able to fish with comfort.

There was no luck
After eating roasted two to us of us we went to look for pejerreyes and the others remained in the coast beginning to taste the season that already begins to be. To overcome is complex by the suction of the mud of the bottom reason why it is necessary to have well-taken care of. By all means both used short lines of floatation and leaders. The flies were the classic ones of every year with which it imposes the creativity and the experience. Héctor had one with a smallest separated teaspoon of the eye of the hook with which already she had done excellent experiences in “the Grandfathers” the last year and Julio had tied a species of yellow and green Chernobill with gomitas like legs and a fin incorporated to the amnesia leader. All we were anxious to see the result of those two flies but there was no luck.

That there are them, there are them.
When leaving, the other boat arrived. They lowered but of half hundred of tarariras and catfishes. Among them there were units that surpassed the four kilos and other that never must have extracted of the water. The four heroes ed ***reflx mng themselves to outbursts of laughter and enjoyed the brutal massacre that showed with pride. They requested that we removed photos to him from the obtained feat. Supporting badly the taste we made some to show that it is a lagoon to consider. Lamentably the ones in charge of the lagoon did not make any observation to these fishermen so that but they never kill in so unfavorable conditions for them. Hungry, defenseless and almost without too much capacity to be transferred.

The ten percent of that fishing had reached so that all their families could savor the result of the day. They could not, his own ignorance and hunger made them kill everything what it took the bait them. These attitudes disappoint and sadden. As much the one of these ignorantes as those of which they would have to take care of the lagoon for his own favor.

Conclusion (Exit of the 23 of September)
The laguneros, in this or any lagoon, must limit the quota of tarariras by by all means stipular fisherman and a minimum measurement. In the receipt that grants when one pays the services clarify to him that it can take up to 25 pejerreyes but of the other species there are no limits. It seems lie but it is truth.  The fishermen must include/understand that to this species it is necessary to take care of it to be able to amuse itself, otherwise, at this time he is almost just like to fish them with a mesh and in, just a short time single they are left but the small ones. At the beginning of season they do not kill or single they make it with some units to savor them. The surroundings are precious. There are tables ready with grills installed near them and the woods offer shade and complement the delicious landscape of the lagoon.

Return without Gloria
An exit is never a failure if one takes experience from the results.  The 23 of September we had left the best place without proving and we had left the doubt if we had not been mistaken with the chosen one, therefore the given holiday of the 10 of October, advancing the wretch, ruthless and apostatized festejo of the 12 of October. We decided to return.

A day that seemed the best one
Neither or we took the boat - great boat and with life-guard for all, broken seats. Good anchor with the short and inusable end in days of strong wind. We were ourselves right to the entrance of a small stream that arrives at times of drought as a ditch at the lagoon.

Wind of the northwest that never stopped. 23º of temperature, impeccable a blue sky and a sun that burned to us the ears seemed to indicate that the fishing of tarariras would be good.

Results
Héctor nailed one tararira of 2.600 grs. with a small oreno. I with he himself oreno, while she took care of the roasted one, removed another one in the ditch that entered the lagoon. Soon, using all the flies that we considered good, three canes casteando alternadamente without interruption, we obtained a single resentment. Unfortunately I was who had it and also the one that lost it. At least it was left me that a new fly, designed by Julio, had motivated to one tararira in a day where almost nothing activated them.

Those that they fished with baits fished, but very few comparing with grosería that we had seen the previous visit.

Considerable excuses
The wind curled much the lagoon and all we know that that corrugated active of the surface of the water is the worse thing to fish with fly. Difficulty of launching, since the wind front prevented the arrival of the fly until the rush. And the water, in spite of the quite good day, was still cold.

Conclusion
A splendid day with a wind that bothered all the day. Who fished with better bait they were those that result they obtained. The only ones which we proved with artificial we were we and single there was a considerable piece of two that was obtained. With fly, there were no results, except for a resentment that I did not manage to make specific. We followed, with all the reservations that correspond, recommending it. It is a lagoon to visit, it is close, the camping is very good and has “services”. Boat, nor motor can not be rented and arrive on foot until the entrance of this stream that is an excellent place of fishing of tarariras. They are between 15 and 20 blocks by the right coast leaving the wharf.
