Fishing near Niterói, Rio de Janeiro

Niterói sits on the eastern shore of Baía de Guanabara, directly across from Rio de Janeiro, and the surrounding region puts anglers within reach of both saltwater and freshwater fishing. The bay itself, along with the nearby Lagoa de Piratininga and Lagoa de Maricá, draws local anglers year-round, while rivers such as the Rio Macacu, Rio Caceribu, and Rio Guapiaçu extend the options inland. Coastal and bay fishing for robalo, xareu, and mullet is the backbone of the local scene, with charter trips also running toward the Ilhas Cagarras and the open Atlantic.
