fishing — whether from motor boats, fishing boats
or schooners — finds a diverse setting in the
streams, islands and underwater rock formations of Búzios.
There
is consistently good deep-sea fishing here. Caranhas,
snappers, marimbas, olhetes, whiting, groupers and many
other types of fish surprise both beginners and experts
by their abundance as well as their size.
Whitewater
fishing — where the great game fish are found
— is an adventure full of surprises and emotions.
A gold medal goes to the fisherman who can catch an
explosive 18-pound blue fish or a clever and strong
jack as it fights to break the line.
Game
fish are part of the Búzios menu. Sea bream,
sailfish, yellowfish tuna, mackerel, serra, barracuda
and bonito are the aristocrats of the summer migrant
visitors. This fishing is carried out in the open ocean,
far from the Búzios peninsula, dragging the bait
in the vessel’s wake.
For
expert fisherman, Búzios has a great surprise.
In the shallow waters from one end of Manguinhos Beach
to the other end of Rasa Beach and the estuary of the
São João River, there are pockets of fly
fishing for ladyfish, cousins to the famous bonefish.
This is a high-class adrenalin rush!
The
chic and glamorous side of Búzios also makes
room for the amateur fisherman, whether beginner or
expert. Various types and sizes of vessels, captained
by fishermen or fishing guides, bring tourists to the
best places — many unknown to most people —
for an unforgettable experience.
The
seductive nature of a boat trip is always a welcome
pleasure. It’s an emotional high to observe underwater
life, be it a whale, dolphins, tortoises, or schools
of fish. Beach-going and bathing in sheltered areas
go perfectly with a little fishing. And the beach kiosk
“chefs” are always willing to grill up your
recently-caught fish. A great program for the whole
family!
