Sakura isn't just a fishing spot: it's a leisure complex with a Japanese restaurant, a pool with a water slide on weekends, and a kids' area, in addition to the fishing area. According to the official website itself, the fishing structure has 5 lakes — 2 for sport fishing and 3 pay-to-fish (pesque-pague) — with spring water. It operates Wednesday to Sunday, from 7am to 6pm (official website hours); a third-party directory indicates extended hours until 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays, but this is not confirmed by the official website.

What you can catch

Tilapia — the most cited fish across sources, though it appears more strongly as a restaurant dish (fried tilapia fillet) than as explicit confirmation of sport fishing
Pacu — mentioned with low confidence (low-quality source, an automatic video transcript)
Carp — mentioned only in third-party reviews, without official confirmation
Pintado (South American catfish) — NOT confirmed by any source consulted; if you're after leather-skinned fish, don't count on it here

Best time to fish

There is no official or reliable source on specific seasonality at Sakura. As a pay-to-fish spot with stocked fish, it's reasonable to assume year-round operation and fishing, but that's an inference about the business model, not a verified fact about this specific location — treat it with caution.

Bait and technique

The original listing mentioned a thin telescopic rod and corn dough bait or crab, but no source describes a technique specifically tested at Sakura. What is confirmed, even if by a third-party source, is that the venue sells fresh-made dough bait at its shop/snack bar — it's worth buying there instead of bringing your own.

A price range of R$ 45 to R$ 70/day for sport fishing appears both in the original listing and in third-party reviews (one of which cites R$ 42 to R$ 70), but no official source or Google Maps confirms current prices — call ahead to confirm the day rate and the price per kilo of fish.

Getting there and contact

Correct address (tier 1 source, official website): Estrada Mathias Schmidt, 777, Bairro Lagoa Grande, Embu-Guaçu - SP, CEP 06900-000 — the old listing gave 'Estrada do Cipó, 1200', which is wrong.
