Fishing Planet #25 - S6 | Maku Maku Lake: Arapaima & Unique Flatwhiskered Catfish!

Fishing Planet #25 - S6 | Maku Maku Lake: Arapaima & Unique Flatwhiskered Catfish!
After failing to catch the Unique Permit at Blue Crab Island, I have decided to take a hiatus from catching that elusive critter and head over to Maku Maku Lake, Peru for a change of pace. I was only here briefly last Halloween, when the lake was unlocked for the event, but barely got any chance to really check it out, so everything here is new for me. Therefore, I am going to do what I do best, explore and experiment!
In this episode, I am starting off on the Draco Boat so I can take advantage of the two rod holders. At Maku Maku, there is a small lagoon type area to the north of the boat dock that has a marker one of my viewers sent me for the Elusive Arapaima Fish Monster. It seems logical that other arapaima may be found here as they seem to like shallow, slow-moving water.
In this episode, the following fish are caught:
- Arapaima (Common and Young)
- Ripsaw Catfish (Trophy and Common)
- Flatwhiskered Catfish (Unique, Trophy and Common)
- Red Bellied Piranha (Trophy and Common)
- Red Eyed Piranha (Common)
- Oscar (Trophy)

Love your content you have helped me with fishing planet thank you very much

[@HawkeyeM]

Always glad to help!

[@jamesfortune7118]

FYI the fish finder at the driver's seat will actually show you the depth that the tablet won't so if you ever want to find a spot go sit back in the captain spot and turn on the engine and then activate GPS

[@jamesfortune7118]

I recommend an 8/0 size hook with an araku minnow also fish around dense cover of all types cuz that's where they're hiding is in that stuff. I'm kind of disappointed to it say though I haven't caught any out in the tree stands over there across from the little little dock right here so there might not be anything special back in there at least not that I have caught

[@jamesfortune7118]

Actually the starting problem on that boat is if you're not staring almost directly at the fish finder screen it won't actually acknowledge that you're looking at the ignition and apparently you have to be looking at it for it to actually acknowledge that you want to start it and also if if you seem to feel like it's pulling slightly left when going forward using the trolling motor you are correct it is it is just ever so slightly off centered but yeah if I can they put a really small margin area around the fish finder to start the ignition with but that's what the problem is you have to be looking straight at it

Amazing video like always man

That is my wife. She has really bad allergies!

[@jayman_g1215]

if you go to that small river area in the top left of the map and go down the left riverway you should be able to fish at a spot where there is a blockage of trees that have fallen down and there are only arpiama there unless you get the occasional silver arowana also i learned that the difference from cap'n hook and normal big bent hooks in the game is that cap'n hooks had a wider cap distance from the main metal body of the hook unlike regular bent hooks or J hooks so that mean with a cap'n hook you have more of a chance to get bigger fish with bigger mouths for instance (bull shark,aripiama,piraiba,nile perch,tigerfish both species) so for bigger fish use cap'n hooks but if you want 20% more xp even though if you get a trophy or unique it won't matter then use those regular/bent/J hooks so thats why there aren't cap'n hooks yet

[@HawkeyeM]

Thanks Jayman!

You get to hunt those fishes in the most awesome places.

Hawkeye do you want the marker for the unique permit I used offset size 7 hook with crab for baut

[@giuseppefederico1387]

Sorry bait

[@HawkeyeM]

If you can. I have literally tried everywhere I can think of and with every possible setup!

I Have 4 Fish that Are In Piranha Family Called Pacu I Have them Rn actually xd

[@HawkeyeM]

Yeah, they get huge! I saw a huge pair of them at a local pet store that had them in a 2000 gallon tank!

[@Biggrill]

wtf why is xp so low for arapaima ?

[@HawkeyeM]

Not really sure. I will say this... They seem to be quite prolific here! Might have more to do with the rarity as opposed to size and fight!
