The first pejerreyes of the river

The Sloop - Berisso - Buenos Aires

By: Manuel (Manolete) Clar

Saturday 1 of April next to Cristian Carreira (peyerrey), My uncle Senen Esterlich and my cousin Martin Sardi (titi) we went to the sloop in search of first pejes of the season. also they accompanied Gabriel Carrera (Foca) and Julio to us Alquezar (Julio's) in another boat.

The Sloop is a beach of Berisso located to 25km of the silver, can be entered by route 11 in 20 km approx to the left this the entrance without signalizing or by Berisso following by the Montevideo avenue.

To fish! we left sailing towards the north to about 4000 meters of the Sloop and drift anchors to the water. The wind was slight to moderate of the this-Southeast and the river in bajante, as consequence the boat did not derive for any side since the corented one threw for a side and the wind for the other and the boat it was left always in him same place, the resentments were made hope, I I was first in nailing a small patí that volume filet of dientudo, immediately Cristian had a pretty resentment near the boat which I turn out to be first peje of the day.

The resentments of pejerreyes occurred or far from the boat being 60 and 100 meters, they pricked 3 or 4 and were cut by a long time that luckily during the lack of resentments of pejerreyes the patíes entertained, some of very good size that gave a very pretty fight with the equipment of pejes and nailing them to 100 meters.

Speaking by VHF with Gabriel they commented to us that they were going to go to about 12 kilometers of the coast to see if pejes were that way since already they were the 12 of noon and the poor activity in the zone where they were, we we came with I number a little more good but equal it was not too good in amount but of an impressive quality, all pejerreyes of 38 cm. for above with which he arrived at 48cm and 1kg that nails it well far and until we did not see it next to the boat we almost thought that it was a Patí.

Arriving the wind afternoon it already continued of the East and the river followed in bajante so we were all the day with the condition of which the boat derived very little.

Altogether we removed to 15 Pejerreyes all from very good size, the used bait was mojarra alive, mojarra salty and filet of dientudo just removed that gave good results cut in long strips affluent. The equipment was canes of 4,20m, reels loaded with multifilament and nailon of 0.23mm, lines of 3 buoys with brazoladas hooks 1 and 1/0 with of 10 to 20 cm.

Julio and Gabriel to more than 8000 meters of the coast obtained both between 10 pejerreyes of characteristic similars, confirming that the activity was similar in all the zone.

We can say that the Pejerrey or is in the zone only that lacks is a little but of cold in the air and the water and the fishing it is going to be assured, I I recommend to come the days of smooth North wind or smooth South wind but when it does a little but of cold, although or it is possible to be come since to 25 km of the Silver to fish 15 pejerreyes of 38 to 48cm it is not for despising and is better of which we can fish in many of the lagoons of the Province.

Our gratefulness to Julio Alquezar (Julio's), by its collaboration in this one relevamiento
