FGHP.com and a group of intrepid explorers and fishermen traveled to the Amazon for a fishing trip extraordinaire. Great fun and adventures ensued. Travel with Jim Kincaid, Frank and Dustin Gibson and Jim Dicken through the Amazon Jungle of the Nhamunda River. We fish for Peacock Bass, Pirarara, Piranha, and other exotic fish of the Amazon. Pictures of the local wildlife also dot the videos. In one a Jacare' a Cayman / alligator relative nearly attacks a local native. Check out our trip on the Amazon. Its not all excitement, but it is interesting and informative. Learn about how you too can venture into one of the most remote places on the planet.
While filming a Jacare' the natives name for Cayman a type of Alligator, a native comes out of the brush and literally runs over the animal I am attempting to film. He is a bit surprised by the animal but recovers nicely to talk about the areas fishing.
On one of the early days of the trip, we anchored just off the shores of this Brazilian Town. Sao Miguel had one public building, and a dish for communications.. however no one was visible in the town.The town hall was a small white building, and there was a
A meal on the Aventuriera is a true delight. We rated the food as 5 star. Totally new taste treats each night. Full meals with Chicken, Fish, Beef and Pork at almost every meal. Deserts made from local fruits that dazzled the taste buds.
A red bird is spotted on the amazon River that looks similar to a pheasant in the US. Pics are not great.
Leo tries to talk Chicken Jim into a swim in the Amazon / Nhamunda River in Brazil. Jim refuses admitting he is a chicken to get in the water with Piranha's and Penis fish .. though supposedly there are no Penis Fish in the Black water Rivers in the Amazon Basin.
While fishing near Faro we run into some of Placido's Family. 3 generations of women fishing for dinner, show us up with a nice Tucanare' in the boat.
WE find a sign tacked to a tree on the Nhamunda River. We speculate on its origin and meaning only to find later that it is a sign of welcome marking a local water trail to a house.
Our guide points out a Toucan in a tree.. The video is not real good. You can however see the toucan's snout / bill in this video in the wild.
This time we travel down a little closer boat trail to a hidden lagoon. Thanks to Placido who lives on the Nhamunda we found these secluded spots that I am sure most non-natives ever see.
Pescamazon.com takes us down a jungle boat trail looking for Peacock Bass. Join us as we skirt the trees and brush to get to the opening and to fish the waters of the Nhamunda River.
