Productive areas are consistently found around any form of structure that provides ambush points. Key spots include confluences with smaller tributaries, which often create current seams and food funnels. Submerged timber, fallen trees, and logjams are prime holding water for peacock bass and traíra. Rocky points, boulder fields, and undercut clay banks are also reliable areas to target. Backwater lagoons and areas with dense lily pads or floating vegetation hold concentrations of fish, especially during higher water.
