An Unforgettable "Dorado"

In Itatí we obtained a trophy for the memory

By: Hugo Gallo

“Watch the video”

Last days we visited the city of Itatí, in the correntino north, a zone of the Parana stop in which the capture of very important pieces can be obtained that they will be in the memory of the fisherman. As customary the invitation was of Cabins “Port Itatí Paradise” by gentility of Federico, proprietor of the complex and great friend.

We left to the very early river, when he blunted the sun, in the boat in charge of the guide Jorge we were Patricia, Federico and I, Jorge put prow above water of Itatí, few minutes of the complex, saw a great shoal of fish of sábalos there and the gilded ones were eating around them, so we anchored against the coast in the middle of the shoal of fish, we threw with several types of bait, colored people, eels, chunks of sábalo and no of them gave result, thus we spent the morning, a single resentment in the cane of Fede who lamentably we could not make specific.

Spent the noon we returned to the complex to have lunch and from return to the river, Federico remained to take care of his things so we were left two fishermen single, Jorge decided to prove with decoys since the water was very transparent, we began trolling water arrives in a stone near Itatí and I had a fort itches, cañe with force and I felt the nailed one of the fish, began to remove thread but he did not jump, intimately I thought about a surubí but Jorge clarified to me that he was “patejeado” gilding that is to say, that attacked the decoy but the bite was mistaken, and the triple of back hooked it of the body, so it had to relax the brake of reel to avoid that the skin was cut and one went.

After a good short while of strip and it relaxes I could approach it the boat and there I could see it, it could not believe it, he was enormous, Jorge did not give time him to the pitching (that was broken the skin) and it put it in the flake, above and to the photos for the memory, it walked between the 18/20 kilos, never had fished so great gilding, of the emotion did not know like having it, we removed the photos to him and I took to the water so that it recovered, after a ratito single he to it was come off the hands again and it became to the river.

Use a cane Shimano Convergence of 15/30 Lbs with reel Shimano Calcutta and 35 nylon and Alfer's decoy (the cane was opening and came with luck)

Festejo, toasts, loaded to Patricia, (who always wins to me) and we changed of fishing place and of modality, we were a little more above and we began trolling water down in a veril and a stone, in third or fourth happened I have a resentment, nail and begins to remove line, this time Jorge confirms to me that it was a surubí of mouth (note in the blows on the head), so I began to try to approach it, cost a good short while to me but it arrived at the boat, the guide was in charge there to raise it, beautiful puppy of 26/28 kilos maso, again photos and video and to the water duck, I take enough in recovering but finally one went to the river again.

Lbs with reel uses a cane Kunnan Lark of 15/30 Penn 940 and multifilament 0,18 and Alfer's decoy (the cane also was opening and also it came with luck)

we went there to a stone almost faces of the complex and again resentment in my cane, nail, is dumb, and it suddenly returns to work the decoy, I missed the resentment I thought, but Jorge corrects to me again, “I flatten pateja” says to me, coat the decoy and thus he was, so powerful was the bite that flattened the triple of the decoy.

Already era of tardecita, so we undertook the return to the complex very you conform to the made fishing (specially I), and verifying once again that in this one zone of the Parana Stop we perhaps spend all the day without resentment, but when one occurs surely is a piece for the memory, one of those unforgettable trophies.

To the following morning, and with a dense one fog we were ourselves for the celebration of the Gilded one.

Thanks to Federico for its attention and its affection, soon we will return that way.

Greetings
