Description

Book 4 in the Series.

The 4-volume Peacock Bass Library is a wealth of information that any traveling angler should enjoy. There's lots of information for sportsmen who may be planning to visit an exotic destination in search of any type of outdoor activity.

The focus of this book, Amazon Peacock Bass Fishing is the Amazon River. Outlines many of the most productive & enjoyable destinations in South America which consistently produced large numbers of peacock bass as well as peacock bass over 10 pounds.

* Readers will learn about the differences in the tributaries, why some are much better than others for peacock bass fishing, and even some facts about the flora and fauna in the Basin.

* Each chapter is based on a specific experience and tactics at a location in the Basin or the Operation that handled the trip.

* Readers will learn tactics for "fry balls", "piranha bursts", post-rain, shallow and clear waters, "dolphin encounters", large lagoons, sandbar drops, walk-ins, "teener" schoolers, sight fishing, laydowns, storms, channels, irregular shorelines, topwater trolling, mid-lagoon haunts, "team" fishing, river bars and pools, "fly-outs" and flood stage waters.

* Readers will also learn about lure modifications, lure cadence and rhythm to make them the most effective.

* Information is included on the top bait colors and patterns, size selection of the lures, and many other tackle tips to increase reader productivity on their next trip to any peacock bass location.

* Many detailed illustrations and numerous photos highlight the most productive patterns.

* Several Appendices include a World Peacock Bass Directory Contact List, courtesy of the Peacock Bass Association, which identifies most all of the world's major agents, operators and outfitters of peacock bass trips and the major product manufacturers and services that cater to avid peacock bass anglers.
