santos and guarujá
Estuary, channels and beaches an hour from São Paulo. Snook at structures, croaker on the bottom, betara and pompano on the beach.
The Santos and São Vicente estuary has channels, mangroves, pilings and piers that draw snook all year. Croaker, weakfish and cutlassfish respond well to natural bait on the channel bottom. On the beaches of Santos and Guarujá, betara and pompano on surfcasting, and flounder on the sandbanks. Boat and bank fishing. It's an easy-access destination, an hour from São Paulo, with strong night fishing in summer.
