Fishing environments
Canal do Linguado
Calmer waters connected to the city's fishing tradition. Use authorised access points and keep boat areas clear.
Boca da Barra
The meeting point between the canal and the sea requires extra care with currents, rocks and boat traffic.
Breakwater area
Check waves, wind, footing and access restrictions before staying on the rocks.
Boat fishing
Ask local operators about route, duration, equipment, bait, capacity and current conditions.
Fishing licence and restrictions
Brazil's recreational or sport-fishing licence distinguishes shore and boat fishing. You must also follow closed seasons, protected species, size limits, quotas and local area restrictions.
Safety comes before the fishing spot
Weather and tide
Check the forecast and avoid rocks during rough seas.
Boat traffic
Never fish in navigation or boarding areas.
Equipment
Bring sun protection, water, firm footwear and a life jacket when required.
Communication
Tell someone where you are going and protect your phone from water.
