Fishing sometimes it’s like dating a girl. You dream, wish, expect, fantasize a lot but when the times comes you realize that it’s not going to happen and it is missed.. This date I had with Balbina, the millions peacock bass’s lake has been violenty loaded with negative factor. At the end this was almost funny… the only missing thing was probably fall in the water ! Which I almost did many times while drifting on this lake, the boat hits stumps that raises through surface every 20 feet. Here is a picture to remind you what it looks like…

First of all, this time of the year was the low water season. You can tell because the local fishermen nailed up old CDs on dead trees. They shine at 10 fetes above my head. Often the propellor’s outboard motor meet with a strong thud sound a piece of stove. Or we mount on dead wood with the boat, completely throw off for few seconds in some kind of fishing rodeo.

The local people says the best season for peacock bass in Balbina is between april to september due to high water. During those months the fishes round ups and patrol close to the surface. Bro’ you won’t believe it ! You can witness shoals of peacock bass that comes close to the lodge
