Amazon Fishing Trips
Brazil Peacock Bass Fishing 
For
the experience of a lifetime, Hawghunter welcomes you aboard The
Santana I, for an exotic Peacock
Bass fishing trip. This 100 foot live-aboard yacht, is the most
modern on the Amazon, has six double suites and two double Master Suites
each with its own bath, with a level of service and amenities normally
associated only with luxury hotels. Aboard the yacht you don't have to
forsake your comfort to experience the legendary explosive strikes and
tackle busting power of the Amazon's native Peacock
Bass.
 The Santana Amazon, designed and built in the Amazons,
is ideally suited as a home base for exploring and fishing in the Amazon
region. With a draft over a meter shallower than most of the other fishing
hotel boats serving the area, it can travel in areas that others can't
get to during the low water (prime fishing time). Amenities include zone
air conditioning in all rooms and cabins, washer and dryer, sauna, three
separate Jacuzzi baths, room to room telephones, satellite telephone,
fax and Internet hookups, in cabin stereo, two master suites that are
unbelievable. An entertainment room equipped with satellite TV,stereo,
DVD, VCR, e-mail and Internet.
 Electronics include two types of communications
radios (VHF & SSB), the most modern LowranceX-15 mapping and GPS system,
radar, sonar. The entire ship is appointed in handcrafted mahogany. The
beautiful and spacious dining room, upper deck main salon and aft deck
open air bar are favorite gathering places for guests after a day of fishing
or exploring the Amazon Rainforest'
What is most important is the fishing and we have signed new contracts
with whom I believe to be the eight best Peacock bass guides in the Amazon.
 Fishing
Boats Designed to Tame the Amazon
The anglers will fish from new 2003 model Tracker bass
boats powered by 4-stroke Honda motors. Designed for conventional and
fly fisherman, they feature large clear decks with front and rear. Each
day your guide will fill an ice chest with an assortment of beverages,
fruits and snacks, sandwiches, so that you can fish all day without returning
to the "mother ship", if you desire.
Peacock Bass Fishing Tops the List
 Tucunaré (too-coon-a-ray), as
Peacock Bass are locally known, is only
one of a long list of species which you can catch in the Amazon Basin.
The tucunaré is known as Brazil's freshwater ambassador, because
it's fierce top water strikes and tackle busting power has attracted adventurous
fishermen from all over the world. Reaching sizes over three feet long
and upwards of 25 pounds, the beautiful Peacock Bass makes for a formidable
adversary. They regularly break 30-lb mono and super braids of 80-lb and
greater strength, in addition to destroying lures, straightening hooks
and split rings, even breaking rods and exploding reels. Many consider
it to be the ultimate fresh water sport fish.
However, tucunaré are far from the only sport
fish which you will be able to catch. The Amazon is home to over 2500
species of fish (some scientists say closer to 3000) many of which are
not yet catalogued.
In addition to giant catfish up to 600 lb., you will
have the opportunity to catch piranhas, a variety of other cichlids (peacock
bass cousins), aruanas (another prehistoric hold out), traira (like walleye
with teeth and an attitude), cachorras (Brazilian name for the fanged
Payara) and many other species.
The Grand Finale
At the conclusion of your time aboard the Santana I, you will return
to the city of Manaus. You will stay in the five star "Hotel Tropical"
on the banks of the Rio Negro.
On your last night is include dinner and an open air show of regional
Boi-Bumba dancers.
According to data from international aviation organizations, Manaus International
Airport is the safest in Brazil. The people of the Amazon have much to
be proud of, and seem to enjoy sharing their culture and unspoiled beauty
of their homeland with us, their visitors.
