Fishing guide
Apapa (Pellona Castelnaeana) is a South American species of predatory freshwater fish found mainly in the Amazon and Orinoco basins. These highly aggressive fish swim mainly in large schools, hunting their prey closer to the surface or in shallower areas. Apapa closely resemble huge Sardines, with their laterally compressed bodies and vivid golden coloration, dark backs and upturned mouths. They can reach a length of over 80 cm with a maximum weight of around 5 kg. These fierce predators tend to hunt more actively at night than during the day, feeding mainly on insects and other fish found close to the surface.
If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Apapa would be to use Small Minnows on a size #4/0 hook.
If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Walkers.
The most successful lure is Blue & Silver Major Popper 42 g, #5/0.
