Wood Choppers, and High Roller lures. Frank found a Peacock Bass package that he bought. 2 boxes of lures from High Roller and several other companies. Muskie lures and tackle work well for Peacock Bass. We ran into some serious high water, though the guides worked very hard to find us fish. The Amazon was high so the northern rivers could not drain well. This meant the season was behind by about a month. Apparently the rainy season started a month early on the southern Amazon and that filled the Southern Rivers and the Amazon in turn.. that meant the Northern tier of rivers flowing south could not drain as well. If you look at the videos you can see we are fishing around a LOT of flooded brush and trees. 1 foot of water on the Amazon means 100,000 acres more area to fish. Still the trip was great. The food was 5 star, we ate all kinds of things like Piranha, and Pirarara, and the scenery was worth the trip by itself. Last year the same trip caught 20 fish a day. They call it fishing cause if all you did was catch.....
