FISHING CHAFALOTE IN PASO DE LA PATRIA
(BAITCAST)
Collaboratión by: Gonzalo Castaño
 |
It was a Monday morning and the sun burnt the sands of Paso
de la Patria, the work we had a truce, and no shortage of desire to fish.
The boat was on the coast, the teams prepared, and over had a huge debt with
which Daniel Calabrese was a note on Baitcast Chafalotes, also known on the
coast under the name Pirayagua (dog fish whose scientific name is Guarani
RAPHIODON VULIPINUS (Agassiz, 1829). Also known as buck-toothed, Swordfish,
Dentudo Grande, Machete and younger brother of the Pup which is in the Amazon
and tends to weigh 20 kilos.
A 9 am start due to detachment of the Navy Paraguaya "Ita Piru" corresponding to
the role and get into the streams so unfamiliar and inhospitable. The height of
the river in Paso de la Patria was 3 meters.
While doing the paperwork at the marina Paraguayan Carlos one of my two
companions had been fishing and caught a Doradillo, less than 1 meter of the
boat, and most amazing was that this was accompanied by Doradillo hundreds of
juveniles in the same species, this was a good omen.
 |
We long to drift and locate the boat not far from Itá Piru,
downstream of a string of stones in which two streams joined.
The activity was observed towards a flower water, with spectacular jumps and
pirayaguas gold.
In the first triplets to arrive sets, Carlitos 5 stuck behind one another, but
at the edge of the boat was leaking, was the pattern he needed to accentuate the
key, bluffing or stronger squeezing a little more star brake.
A few minutes a boat went very close to us, and the founder was cut completely,
were about 30 minutes and we did not have a tap.
 |
Here began the usual questions: Will it be the man, will be
the color, will have gone the other hand, will eat up, etc etc?.
It could not be all they were, in some corner had to be.
 |
In one of the sets, I got one hit and picking up, and drop
attacks the lure, rare ... to quickly pick a set to the same place, and
chacateeeeeeeeee, this is quite nailed a beautiful pirayagua, one that made me
dance while.
He was out of water 5 times, fighter to the end.
 |
When uploading to the boat, I wanted to take from the queue and went straight to bite my hand, bad bug
 |
Cali, my other companion fish, in that instant a lance at the
same place where the old key and nailed another beautiful, also of the great
fighters.
The craft will remain small for all the fish did walk, and more careful, I take
it with a special clamp can be lifted.
 |
At times the cut pique, lanzábamos in all directions until one had a pique, and from there went all our decoys, making several doublets
 |
It was a veritable feast for the fisherman cut the silence of
our nylons zoom out to full speed because of our large reel runs that gave us
the pirayaguas leaping up to 3 at a time and the ferocity of their attacks that
destroyed our artificial.
It seemed an incredible escaped, tirabas back to where you had escaped and
returned to attack again.
No fewer than 20 were captured, we lost the account in a fishery that lasted 3
hours.
 |
In this region no less than 5 months to discover the school
of pirayaguas, really do not know if it ever since.
RETURN
At the time of the return, we note that the traditional way, or taking it to the
belly and tail making water run for his gills, his recovery took a long time, up
to and including in one case we fail to live.
The secret was that in return we must head to release water, or taking it in
full only on the vertical tail and long shot, revives at the moment is, be
careful eye, always hits a jump backwards trying to bite fisherman.
It is very important to keep it out of the water the shortest possible time.

ARTIFICIAL:
We started fishing with artificial extreme depth, the model of Luhr Jensen Brush
Baby, they did well, one was stuck because they are hollow inside.
I lost a lot of time fishing because they saw her and thought it was punctures
des regulated, trying to regulate a long time and was winning until Cali warned
that water was entering at the side.
 |
The good news is that the Baby Brush deeper than any other
artificial fishing perfectly submerged stones and their colors are not lost by
more attacks suffered (highly recommended)
Then we switch to the file known artifiales Shiner King Marine 90 Sport, in
silver, blue silver, red and white and cardinal.
They quickly lost their color because of the attacks, his painting is weak.

LINES
We use mono filament nylon 0.32 and 0.35, endured well.
I would use a good nylon multifilament enabled because the multifilament is
apelmaza and engalleta more.
FLUOR CARBON good and bad
We use it to replace traditional steel leader, since it is invisible in water
and much more resistant than nylon.
The idea was to test whether the increased pique because the fluorine and carbon
invisible if all things stand the bites Chafalotes Dorados and uncut.
With carbon fluoride 0.62 mm. ADAPTERS did about 25 cm long, which at one end
tied directly snap known as a changer, and the other end to add it through a
nylon Albright special knot, which is very neat, very tough, and easy to do even
with a strong board and waves.
To my way of thinking it did not help, because every 2 or 3 Piques requires a
change because it is destroyed.
I do not have enough patience to change it often, and always believed that
technology to serve this man, so I went back to the typical steel leader, eye
nor naughty least noticed that the leader of steel, maybe one day you Fishing
this difficult if there may be worthwhile to make a difference or carbon
fluoride.
