Copa Cabana and Big Game

Experience in Brasil is mostly to be had by local residents because of the isolation where there are not many skirts to chase etc. On the Atlantic side the billfishing is fantastic ; the possibility for record breaking fish is very high. http://www.artmarina.com/

I have fished on the Coyote Fleet out of Canaveiras Brazil. The fishing was good with 11 shots at Blue marlin between 400-800lbs in 11 days of fishing over the last two yrs. the boats are a bit suspect as we have had boat issues on both trips. We also caught plenty or large dolphin, wahoo and one yellowfin about 100lbs and a sailfish. I have enjoyed myself tremondously on these tirps and plan on returning if they can straighten out their boat issues.

Hi,

I have made some experience with fishing in Brazil a few years ago. You can go from Rio de Janeiro (Yacht Club just beyond the Sugar Head). A good skipper with the boat "Fishing in Rio" is Kdu Magalhaes. Everybody in the yacht club knows him. Fishing from Rio is good especially for sailfish and dorago during months of November until March. You can get also Blue and White Marlin there.

Marlin Fishing is better slightly north of Rio de Janeiro in Cabo Frio. Between November and March you have a good chance to get big Blue Marlin there. Besides there are Sailfish, Dorado and Wahoo.

Another option in Brazil is further north on the Island "Fernado do Noronha". Fishing over there starts earlier and is limited because it is an natural reserve, but in August there is always a competition. You just have to go to the port and make an arrangement with the local fishermen.

If there are further questions, please feel free to ask me.
