Fishing the Americas reports: Fall Bull Redfish BITE is ON!

It appears that the typical Fall Bull Redfish Feeding Frenzy around the Louisiana Delta is ramping up. Latest report after fishing with Captain Keith Kennedy is just in from Dr. Gary Clark.

Gary has just returned from Venice after fishing this past Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and writes:

"Last October, my two cousins, Joe and Lynn Payne joined me in Louisiana for their first redfish trip ever.  Naturally, it was with Captain Keith Kennedy of Born to Fish Charters, and we did so well that a return visit this year was in order.  That 3 day trip has just been completed and it was pretty spectacular, especially the second day when 62 bull reds to 32 pounds made it over the side of Captain Keith's boat. As some of you know, the Captain can get a little grouchy when, despite all of his best efforts, the redfish simply refuse to cooperate.  Fortunately, his mood---and ours---was decidedly upbeat as a total of 101 redfish averaging about 20 pounds each enthusiastically came out to play.  We enjoyed fantastic weather all three days with warm temperatures and very little wind.  Seas were a modest 1-2 feet.  Clearly, Bomber Mud Minnows in black/chartreuse and chartreuse/red tail, along with Berkley Ripple Shad in firetiger, were the lures to have on under popping corks. It was especially enjoyable to catch not a single catfish and to be bothered by only 2 or 3 sharks the entire trip.    I continue to say that this 3 day, all-inclusive package is the best value in all of sportfishing."

Cousins Triple Up!
Gary concludes, "If you can slip in a visit yet this year, Captain Keith has a few openings left, and given favorable winds, the bite should remain very good right up to the first of the new year."   

Fishing the Americas couldn't agree more with Gary, the 3 day 4 night all inclusive package offered by Captain Keith Kennedy is an outstanding value laced with great meals, excellent equipment, a seasoned Bull Redfish guide all located in the heart of the Delta and Monster Redfish waters. Give Captain Keith Kennedy a call and tell him you are calling at the recomendation of David Fields and Fishing the Americas.

Early PeacockBass Fishing Reports from the Amazon

World Class PeacockBass Fishing

AFA Fly Ih Floating Expedition Cabins for PeacockBass Fishing

Early PeacockBass Fishing Reports from the Amazon. This will get your PeacockBass Passion flowing!
Amazon Fishing Adventures Angler
Peacock Bass Fishing in the Amazon: A Fishing Adventure Like No Other
For the Amazon PeacockBass fishing enthusiast the reports are starting to trickle in. This will give our AFA angling friends and PeacockBass addicts some idea of the fishing conditions and activity reported from our Brazilian outfitters. We’re simply passing it on as it is made available to us. (Note: Some reports are mid week reports so will only reflect 2.5-3 days of fishing.)
RPA Reports: September 27-29, 2014 (2 1/2 days)
Igapoacu (FIFE) # anglers 12 total Peacocks 814 9 10-16# 1 17-19# River Falling
Tupana (FIFE) # anglers 8 total Peacocks 602 17 10-16# River Falling
RPA Reports: October 4-6, 2014 (2.5 days)
Matupiri (FIFE) # anglers 12 total Peacocks 444 6 10-16# 1 17-19# River Falling
Tupana (FIFE) # anglers 8 total Peacock 390 22 10-16 River Falling
Xeurini (FIFE) # anglers 8 total Peacocks 400 River Falling
*(FIFE) Fly-In Floating Expedition Cabins
This week our Fly-in Floating Expedition Cabins are located at the Muhura reservation in the Matupiri and the Tupana rivers and we are also breaking waters at the lower Xeruini with another 8 angler group. Weather has been fine in both fisheries with some tropical showers as usual, some more serious rain is expected towards next weekend in both areas, lighter in he Carvoeiro area. Water levels  are a bit high, mainly due to the El Niño influence in the region, this has somehow delayed the descent of the waters that are now descending as expected. Nevertheless fishing is showing good numbers, and feedback from the anglers also shows that they are enjoying good activity and the typical aggressiveness of peacocks at the beginning of the season. The largest PeacockBass trophy caught last week weighed 18 lbs and the final count for last week´s groups were a significant 2,649 peacockbass (12 anglers) and 1,551 peacockbass (8 anglers).

KLures Peacock Ripper "Chico" in Jungle Serpent

Just received my new Peacock Ripper "Chico" in Jungle Serpent and it looks Awesome!



Kermett Adams has a new #PeacockRipper color out and I think the name fits it very well. Jungle Serpent. That name just rings with Explosions!

#KLures Chico is 6" and 1.5 ounces of Peacock Pursuasion. Persuasion defined is "the art of getting what you want." In this case, Monster Peacock Bass is what we want and this trickster will no doubt get it done.

Hooks are 6x VMC and ready to fish. SS chopper prop is attached with 2 inch long SS .092 eye screw. I'm all about Red Eyes and these life like RED EYES are killer in 1/2 inch 3D.

Order some today for your next Amazon Fishing Adventure. There are several proven color combinations available. They come "pre-tuned to perfection and delivered to your doorstep" from Kermett Adams, lure designer and craftsman. KLures Peacock Ripper "Chico" in Jungle  Serpent.

Amazon Fishing Adventures' Ultimate Peacock Bass Fishing Destination Resource

Amazon Fishing Adventures Fly-In Floating Expedition Camps

The Ultimate for Remote Shallow Water Mobility without sacrificing comfort!


Amazon Fishing Adventures Fly-In Floating Expedition Camp


Looking for a remote jungle adventure but want to stay mobile. Then look no further than the AFA Fly-In Floating Expedition Camps for the ultimate in Peacock Bass Fishing. The floating bungalow cabins cruise the shallow tributaries that feed the "lost and secluded lagoons" the Monster Peacock Bass like to call home. The floating caravan of four to six bungalows traverse these tributaries to get you to the best fishing locations as current conditions dictate. That may be an all or partial day move while you fish. But have no concern of being passed by, your camp will be ready when you arrive following a full and fatigued day of battling the Red-Eyed Monsters. Remoteness, coupled with exclusive fishing permissions in private fisheries and the ability to stay mobile as fishing conditions change on the river is primarily why the Floating Expedition Camps have become the most sought after adventure of Peacock Bass fishing fanatics.

Explosions on the Unini = Addiction = Peacock Bass Passion

Peacock Bass Passion . . . the Beginning.
In December of 2004 and September of 2005 videographer David Masterson and I traveled to the Cutter Camps on the Unini River. While there we filmed a couple of Television Shows for Brock Rays' World of Outdoors and American Heratige TV as well as packages for a promotional DVD. The following 6 minutes of Peacock Bass Fishing, artistically edited by Masterson, allow you a glimps into the beginning of my Peacock Bass Passion. 2007 was my last trip to the famed Unini. I will fish this river again someday and I hope you will join me.

Fishing the Americas eNewsletter

Of Blizzards, Bulls and Brazil 


Whether it's Monster Bull Reds or Explosive Peacock Bass, let the 2014 Party Begin!As I prepare this edition of FTA eNews we are witnessing once again a major winter ice, snow and polar event here in the midwest. Someone surely missed the global warming email. It may be cold here with a warming trend coming but it's not just the weather that's heating up around the Mississippi Delta. Here's a quote from an email I received January 20th. 

"Keith called tonight and said that today one of his friends and party caught over 70 big redfish with 8 between 30 and 40 pounds and 2 over 40 pounds. It just goes to show what I've said all along. Those big redfish will bite 12 months a year---it's just a matter of finding the right weather and water conditions. That's the crapshoot! 
Bass Regards, Gary"
