Open in FishNerd

Fishing Park is located in Itapetininga (SP) and is a pay-to-fish spot with more than 150,000 m² of water surface, offering both bank fishing and boat fishing — a standout feature compared to typical fishing spots in the region. The park allows fishing with artificial lures, something the official website itself highlights as rare for this type of venue. Leisure facilities include a water park (pools) and a restaurant/snack bar with a view of the lakes, but there is no overnight lodging. Open Wednesday through Sunday and holidays, from 8am to 6pm.

What you can catch

  • Dourado (golden dorado) — a species highlighted by the official website, known there for fighting hard and jumping a lot once hooked
  • Pintado (spotted catfish), Pacu, and Tambaqui — listed directly by the official website as available in the lakes
  • Other species appear in angler reports and third-party sites (not confirmed by the official website or Google): Black Bass, Tilapia, Tucunaré (peacock bass), Pirarara (red-tailed catfish), Tambacu, Cachara (shovelnose catfish), Traíra (wolf fish), Matrinxã, and carp — treat these as likely, but confirm with the park on the day of your visit

Best time to fish

The official website does not publish a seasonality calendar. Angler sources indicate that the summer/spring season (September to April) tends to bring fuller lakes and more active dourado, with the species' characteristic jumps. For Black Bass and tilapia, however, sources disagree — some point to better fishing in winter (June to August), while others argue the opposite (September to March, with warmer water). Since none of this information comes from the official website or Google, the safest approach is to ask the park directly which lake is 'hot' before planning your trip.

Techniques and lures

  • Artificial lures are allowed at the park — a feature highlighted by the official website, useful for anglers who enjoy fishing for dourado (golden dorado) and leather-skinned species with jigs, spoons, or topwater lures
  • For round-bodied fish like pacu and tambaqui, chumming and traditional dough baits (flour, cornmeal, egg, with cheese or fruit essence) tend to work well, according to local anglers
  • There is no official confirmation regarding live bait or specific catch-and-release rules by species — it's worth checking on-site before fishing

Facilities, prices, and how to get there

The daily fishing rate is not published on the official website, and third-party sources disagree (reports cite anywhere from R$ 20 to R$ 50 per day) — confirm the current price directly with the park before heading out. The correct address, according to the official website, is Rodovia Gladys Bernardes Minhoto (SP-129), km 71, Bairro Capão Alto, Itapetininga/SP — different from what appeared in older listings (Rodovia Raposo Tavares). Open Wednesday through Sunday and holidays, from 8am to 6pm.
