Where the bites are
Approximate points (≈5 km) — never a catch's exact spot, and not linked to the photos.
Vitor Cavalcante, known on social media as 'Mira Rio' (@Vitorcavalcante06), is a sportfishing guide running boat trips in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro. His videos show a fine-tuned reading of structure — pillars, rocky patches (parcéis) and tidal channels — and a strong grasp of the bay's tidal dynamics, which drives much of the fishing strategy on each outing.
Where he guides
The operation is concentrated within Guanabara Bay itself, with trips to spots like the Urca area and nearby coves. This is sheltered-water fishing, inside the bay, not offshore or in other states — Vitor's edge lies in knowing the exact spots where fish concentrate within this urban/estuarine environment.
What you can catch
- Pompano (pampo), especially the yellow pompano (pampo-amarelo)
- Snook (robalo) — both the fat snook (robalo-flecha) and the common snook (robalo-peba)
- Weakfish (pescada) — white and yellow varieties
- Corvina (corvina), scad (carapau) and blue runner (xerelete)
Technique, boat and gear
Fishing is done mostly with artificial lures — jigs, micro jigs and plugs — worked near bottom structure and at mid-water depths. To find schools and underwater relief, Vitor uses a Garmin Striker Vivid 4cv fish finder on board. The exact boat model and engine horsepower are not publicly disclosed; it's a vessel suited to navigating the bay's sheltered waters.
How the day trip works
Trip duration, number of anglers per outing, and what's included (fuel, ice, bait, meals) are not publicly detailed on the guide's channels. There's also no published price list — rates are arranged directly via WhatsApp, on request and depending on the desired date.
How to book
The YouTube channel @Vitorcavalcante06 ('Mira rio') is the main showcase of his work, with videos of trips and catches in the bay, useful for anglers to get a feel for the style and spots before booking.
