Fishing guide
Red Peacock Bass (Cichla mirianae) is a tropical freshwater fish that tends to inhabit lagoons, waterways and flood plains of South American rivers. It prefers areas with slow currents and plenty of cover, such as sunken logs and submerged trees. Red Peacock Bass are notable for their vivid reddish coloration with three characteristic spots on the sides. The color of its back can vary from golden yellow to olive, and it changes to yellow or red closer to the belly. An adult specimen can be about 35-60 cm in length and 1-3 kg in weight. In particularly favourable conditions they can grow to be 7kg. Like other cichlids, this active predator is ready to eat anything that moves and can fit into its mouth.
If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Red Peacock Bass would be to use Aracu Minnow on a size #7/0 hook.
If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Buzzbaits.
The most successful lure is Green/Orange Leprechaun Buzzbait 28 g, #4/0.
