Fishing areas

The waters Diego Silva operates — each circle is a fishing area.

Diego Silva (@diegoguiadepesca) is a sport fishing guide based in Guapimirim, at the far end of Guanabara Bay. His work is boat-based, navigating the channels and mangroves of the Guapimirim Environmental Protection Area (APA de Guapimirim) region and the rivers that flow down into the bay, focusing on casting artificial lures near structure — fallen logs, mangrove banks and channel mouths. There is no public confirmation of how many years he has worked as a professional guide.

Where he guides

The fishing area is the far end of Guanabara Bay, between Guapimirim and the preserved mangroves of the APA de Guapimirim, including tributary rivers that flow into it there. It's estuary fishing — tidal water, mangrove and narrow channels — quite different from the open-bay fishing found in the rest of Guanabara Bay.

Target species

The most consistently confirmed target is snook (robalo — both peva and flecha varieties), caught by casting soft plastics and jig heads near mangrove structure. There are indications that corvina (a type of croaker), mullet and pescada branca (a type of weakfish) also show up on trips, but this couldn't be confirmed with the same level of certainty — treat it as a possibility, not a guarantee, until confirming directly with the guide.

Boat and gear

It wasn't possible to reliably confirm the boat's model, size or engine power, nor whether it carries electronics like fish finders and GPS. It's also unconfirmed whether Diego supplies rods, reels and lures or whether anglers need to bring their own casting gear — that's the first question to ask before booking a trip.

How the day trip works

Trip duration, the number of anglers per outing, what's included (ice, lunch, fuel) and the prices charged are not publicly confirmed information. Rates in the Guanabara Bay region vary quite a bit between guides, so the way to go is always to confirm price and conditions directly through the contact channel before booking.

How to book

The available contact channel is Instagram @diegoguiadepesca, where he posts catches and trips and where you can arrange date, prices and meeting point in Guapimirim. There is no publicly listed WhatsApp, phone number or website.
