Background
I've been fishing since I was 3 years old, and sailing since I was 18 – now I'm over 50 years of age, and I have fished and sailed in waters all over the world! I practice almost all types of fishing. I manage and direct my own fishing, nautical and tourism services, and graduated in Social Communication and Counseling. During part of my working life I worked in corporate companies, managing the commercialization of services with global clients, which has led to me becoming fluent in 3 languages. When I go on vacation, I choose destinations where I can combine my free time and plenty of rest and relaxation with...fishing!

Very nice Golden Dorado fishing season!!
Very nice Golden Dorado fishing season!!
Ene 29, 2024 Buenos Aires
We continue fishing for golden dorado!!! We are with several groups of new fishermen who are making their first experiences with these wonderful fish. Most of the time with natural baits, in the mouths of small rivers and other times fishing wildly in open rivers. It is a very good season and it is worth taking advantage of it!!

Why 4 hours for joy??
Why 4 hours for joy??
Ene 16, 2024 Buenos Aires
Many people ask us why we don't have fishing tours of fewer hours. We, after 36 years of experience fishing in these waters, explain to you: you are going to be fishing in the widest river in the world!!! This is not easy, but it is terribly exciting my friend. With Delta Aventura Buenos Aires, you will be sailing and fishing in the Paraná Delta Biosphere Reserve. Designated by UNESCO in 2000 and expanded in 2007. It is located in the Province of Buenos Aires, in the second and third sections of the Islands of the Buenos Aires Delta (Lower Delta). To be able to do reasonably good fishing, in a natural and unpolluted environment, you need no less than 4 hours. They also ask us: Is there a concentration of fish in closer places? Yes, in sewage drainage areas and port areas very close to Buenos Aires. Due to the dumping of waste, these areas serve as concentrators of small fish that are attractive to hunting fish. The problem is that you will be exposed to water pollution, noise pollution that comes from port activity and environmental pollution that comes from Buenos Aires, with its almost eighteen millions inhabitants. For all these reasons and because fish usually choose to live in beautiful places, that is why we sail and fish in natural reserve areas. This is why it takes no less than 4 hours to enjoy nature and a beautiful fishing trip. Any questions, I remain at your disposal. Thank you very much and tight lines! Captain Mauricio

Fishing for golden dorado in the Río de
Fishing for golden dorado in the Río de
Dic 23, 2023 Buenos Aires
We are having a very good fishing season in the Rio de la Plata (Buenos Aires -Argentina) At Delta Aventura Buenos Aires, we are fishing for golden dorados every day!! Even on December 23, our clients were able to catch a dorado that was the record of 2023. A golden dorado weighing almost 11 kilos!! It is not usual in this water, such a large golden gold. Usually, the average is about 2 to 5 kilos. Surely, it is because a few months ago, we have been having a lot of water coming down from the Paraná and Uruguay rivers and the large schools of small fish are dragged by the current, downstream to the Rio de la Plata. Their predators, luckily for us fishermen, come after all this food and this is where we can find them. We are fishing with live bait and artificial lures. Drift fishing is the most profitable. We only fish in fixed points, after a large flood, because most of the hunting fish are at the mouths of streams and lagoons waiting for their food. Any questions, I am at your disposal. Thank you very much and tight lines for everyone! Captain Mauricio

One of the most difficult species of catfish to catch in the Rio de la Plata. It's called Surubi. In this case it is small, it can reach 100kg. We caught it at the mouth of a stream. We use a large eel as bait. Hook 8/0.
