Fishing near Joinville, Santa Catarina

Joinville, Santa Catarina's largest city, sits amid a network of rivers draining the Serra do Mar. The Rio Cubatão and Rio Piraí run close to the urban area, while the Rio Itapocu and its tributaries extend into the surrounding countryside — together forming the backbone of local freshwater fishing. Tilapia and native species draw anglers to these rivers and to pay-to-fish operations such as Pesque Pague Piraí in the Vila Nova district.
