PEACOCK BASS FISHING BRAZIL GETTING THERE:
We Maximize Your Fishing Time
At Bassmex, we understand how much you're looking
forward to your peacock bass adventure. After all, we're anglers
too and we have the same passion for fishing and travel as
our clients. To maximize your fishing time, you will fly to a landing
strip (or in some cases fly via float plane) to the Voyager and begin
fishing the day you arrive in Manaus. However, if you want to
catch up on rest from your international flight that first day, you're
cetainly welcome to head for your cabin and get some shut-eye in air-conditioned
comfort. After all, you'll have six more days of angling ahead
of you. You're not locked into any schedule.
To maximize your fishing time, rather than cutting the trip
a day short to head back to Manaus, the morning following your sixth
action-packed day of fishing, you'll be flown to Manaus via
air charter and assisted with check-in for your international flight
back to Miami on Varig Brazilian Airlines departing at 11:15 a.m.
Of course, if you desire to spend a few days relaxing and
touring in Manaus after doing battle with the ferocious peacock
bass, we can arrange for you to stay a few more days as well.
Just let us know in advance, so we can arrange appropriate
return international flights and make hotel reservations and schedule
tours for you if you are so inclined .
Your Flight Schedule:
Varig Brazilian Airlines offers overnight 767 Jumbo-jet
service from Miami to Manaus on a Saturday night at 10:30
p.m. This should allow you to arrive in Miami from just about
any location in the states to make this flight. If you are coming
from a moderate weather home city, we recommend allowing at least
three hours from your arrival in Miami until the Varig flight departs.
If you are from a home city where winter snow storms often result
in flight delays, consider getting to Miami five hours before your
flight.
You will depart Manaus at approximately 11:15 a.m. and arrive
back in Miami at 3:30 p.m., again in plenty of time to make connecting
flights home.
Manaus International Airport is the safest in Brazil. It is
an international airport with connections to neighboring countries,
making travel arrangements easier. We recommend their service and
our departures and returns are scheduled around them. At Bassmex,
we will arrange all of your flights for you and we prefer that everyone
leaves from Miami as a group. This arrangement has been working without
flaw for several years.
 Remember,
there are only 14 spaces available per week. As discussed previously,
our fishing weeks are booked Saturday to the following Sunday.
Other operations typically cut into two work weeks. We realize that
vacation time is hard to come by, so we will only keep our schedules
to one full week and not encroach into the next one. Time is of the
essence to get a date reserved. You may book your trip through Bassmex
as a solo traveling angler, or as a group. There is no up charge for
a single, but all accommodations are double occupancy.
"Wild Bill" Skinner/Bassmex can help you arrange your
flights and save you money and time. He will also arrange for
your Confirmations, Reservations, Ground Transfers, Fishing License,
Lure Selection, Spanish Words and Phrases, Packing List, Lake conditions,
Updates and more! Give Bassmex a call on our toll free number
at 1-888-769-0220 Anytime 24/7! We guarantee the lowest possible
prices at all our destinations!
"Friends, I'm a fishin' nut just like all of you. I'll
do everything I can possibly do to make sure that your "Trip of
a Lifetime" is hassle free! I know what ya want, so sit
down and give me a call anytime night or day. You'll be
glad you did, I guarantee it"

Amazon Voyager Fishing Season:
The Brazilian Amazon offers to distinct fishing seasons, coinciding
with the dry seasons north and south of the equator. On the Rio
Negro (and its many tributaries) north of Manaus, prime time is
between November and April. From August through October, the Voyager
heads south to the Rio Madeira and its many tributaries. Despite
our best efforts to schedule anglers during optimal fishing conditions,
unexpected "dry season" rains can play havoc with the
fishery, so anglers making this trip need to understand that we
cannot control the whims of Mother Nature.

Amazon Voyager Logistics
Anglers must first fly to Miami from their home city. Following
an overnight flight from Miami to Manaus, Brazil, you will be
met by our representatives and then take a charter flight directly
to the boat in Cessna Caravan float planes. From there, you'll
board the Amazon Voyager, have breakfast, unpack and head for
the fishing grounds with your guide, or, alternatively, the
Amazon Voyager will travel to the fishing grounds and then you
will commence fishing. Because of ever-changing airline schedules,
your itinerary may call for you to stop in Sao Paulo before
returning to Miami on your flight home. If possible, we will
secure direct flights from Miami to Manaus and back. Airline
schedules will be determined at the time of booking. |

"Guys, Peacock Bass Fishing in Brazil is
one of the most satisfying thing you will ever
do for yourself. It's an exciting "Rip Roaring"
adventure if there ever was one. I must warn
you though, it almost ruined me. I've been fishing
for carp with a cane pole ever since I came back from
my first trip to Brazil! Just kidding........seriously
though, the cruise up the Rio Negro or the Madeira is
without a doubt the most exciting fishing trip I've ever
been on and I think you will love every minute of it.
So do yourself a favor, grab your buddies or your family
and come on down with us and experience it first hand.
You'll be glad ya did, and I guarantee it!"
Sincerely,
