Always a great experience, with every detail handled perfectly. I can't wait to take my third trip with Acute!

I’ve fished with Acute twice in less than a year. It’s a first class operation and we got first class fish to go with it ! This may become an annual trip for me !

Recently returned from an Acute Angling floating bungalow trip – my 4th trip with Acute – and can say without reservation or exception that it was another unique, remarkable, and enjoyable experience. Our fishing guides Brahma and Raimundo were exceptional. They were flexible and responsive; endlessly patient; they consistently put us on fish; and we enjoyed many laughs and a great time despite an inconsequential language barrier beyond “fishing English”. These gentlemen were accomplished professionals, and it was a privilege fishing with them both. Our camp host Jose was truly a Renaissance man. Such a pleasure to spend time and converse with him. He’s visited 54 countries, speaks eight languages, and is another seasoned professional on the Acute Angling team that orchestrated the best possible experience in camp. Expert in jungle survival and first aid, jungle fauna and flora, and very many other skills. This fascinating gentleman has “been there and done that”, and inspired ease and confidence in the entire operation. The food during our stay was utterly delicious. Our head-chef and sous-chef Mariza and Dora somehow created three delicious mains for breakfast (eggs, pancakes, French toast – all with bacon and sausages) and for dinner (a different fish, chicken, beef dish every night). The variety of mains, soups, sides, fruits, and baked goods every day was astounding. All colored with local culinary influence; meals were simply great - never mind made by themselves, and from a 6x10 foot camp kitchen. You’d come just for the food. Crucial to the experience were also our supporting camp staff. Benny’s subtle and observant ministrations were just perfect, keeping us in drinks, snacks, and safety. Junior was instrumental in keeping the camp’s electro-mechanical machinations operating smoothly. The efforts of other less visible staff were also clearly essential and sincerely appreciated. The camp runs like a Swiss watch under Jose’s careful orchestration. Our ground support in Manaus – Eddy and Tainah – were also instrumental in making our Brazil arrival and departure, and jungle insertion and extraction all exceptionally smooth. They really know the ins-and-outs and put a bow on the whole package from start to finish. Taken together, the staff and the overall experience far exceeded the sum of its parts. The concerted effort of this Acute Angling team is obvious, and the US and in-country support staff on the logistic and administrative lead up and close out just made things so much smoother and easier. Been fishing with Acute since 2007. Really a polished operation, and one that I hope to be fishing with for years to come. I’m as pleased with the new ownership as I was with the previous. A very safe bet and a remarkable adventure fishing value in my opinion. Less

Fantastic January 2024 trip on Blackwater Adventure !! Great fishing with good % of peacocks over 10lbs. Guides were excellent and easily handled both beginners and experiences peacock bass fishermen. Accommodations & staff are first class, as well as meals and open bar. I will be setting up another group for next season.

Fantastic trip. My son and I caught over 650 fish in the week. At least a dozen over 10 pounds, I think the biggest was 15 pounds. Accommodations are very nice considering the location, super cold air conditioning. Food was also very good. The highlight was reconnecting with our Guide Bene, who we first met back in 2009, along with his son Jonathan. It won't be 15 years before I get back the... More

I have been on 4 trips with Acute Angling and each one has been excellent. It's amazing how seamless they make everything given the remote locations. From the time you step off the plane to the time you step back on, everything is handled for you. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering a Peacock Bass fishing trip in Brazil.

Another great trip with Acute Angling is in the books. We just completed our 4th adventure with AA. This trip was on the Blackwater Explorer fishing the Rio Negro. We had a group of 10 anglers and caught over 3000 peacock bass with 59 being 10+ pounds. The 7,8,and 9 pound fish were too many to keep up with.

The boat, food, and fishing gear are all first class but it’s the staff and guides that make this operation different. Many of the guides have 20+ years of experience and it shows. They are simply the best of the best. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience in the Amazon, look no further. You have arrived. Less

I have been to Brazil fishing with this company twice in the last 22 years. Just got back in December. First class operation with people working very hard to get you the fish you want to catch. The accommodations were wonderful and people took great care of us. From planning to arrival home they were on top of it.

A GREAT TRIP, the fishing did not disappoint, plenty of different species with many a good size.

Floating Bungalow trip in February 2023. Excellent, Exceptional. You got to go if you like to fish and enjoy excellent service! What a trip!

Two women on the amazon catching the heck out of Peacock Bass 100 a day!! Excellent meals, fantastic staff , great accommodations we will definitely be going back. Caught the numbers and the pounds!! Acute Angling is the best for peacocks!!

Since I work long hours and long days planning trips are not my forte. I called acute angling and they planned my whole trip. From flights to airport transfers and cultural items. I was able to do 2 different trips at one time with no snags. This was a big help for me. The food was great the staff was awesome. Now let's talk about fishing.

The guides and all of the Acute Angling staff are the best. The food is plentiful and the variety awesome. Peacock Bass are in a league of their own! If this is on your check-list, "JUST DO-IT, you will not be disappointed!

Having been to Brazil, Peacock Bass fishing for over 25 years (19 trips), I would say that I am capable of giving a fair and honest review of Acute Angling compared to other Outfitters. I have used many different Outfitters (I think 6 or 7) over the years, and I can say that there are most certainly differences between Acute Angling and the others I have used.

Having been to Brazil, Peacock Bass fishing for over 25 years (19 trips), I would say that I am capable of giving a fair and honest review of Acute Angling compared to other Outfitters. I have used many different Outfitters (I think 6 or 7) over the years, and I can say that there are most certainly differences between Acute Angling and the others I have used. Acute Angling is BY FAR the BEST. It is amazing what they have done to make everything from booking the trip, booking your flights, booking your transportation from the airport, booking your hotel rooms, helping you get around Manaus, booking your Arapaima fishing trip (if you choose to do one...and you should), booking your flights into the Amazon (to the boat) ...having GREAT reliable gear to fish with, great guides, great fishing boats (clean), great camp, great food, and great staff...you simply cannot go wrong using them! I have had some horrible experiences with other Outfitters...I can say with absolute comfort and assurance...you will not have a bad experience with Acute Angling...they are an Outfitter who understands what a Fisherman wants and gives that to them. I have already told ALL my fishing buddies that our next trip is with Acute Angling. I am convinced that they are the BEST...I hope to see you out there fishing! Less

We had a group of 14 on the Blackwater Explorer. The staff was helpful and accommodated our every need. The guides were awesome! The conditions for fishing were sub optimal due to very high water levels. We still caught fish and some real beauties. Just less than what they normally expect.

This trip is more than a bucket list trip. It is, by far, the best thing I've ever done. Beautiful scenery. Amazing food. Very experienced, friendly staff. And the fishing is definitely something to experience. You don't catch peacock, they catch you. They take your line and take you for a ride. I'm looking forward to going again.

My wife and I have been on 2 trips with Acute Angling, both on the Blackwater Explorer. Incredible trips! Every aspect of the trip is an adventure you only dream about.

Our trip on the Blackwater Explorer was nothing short of amazing. The boat is comfortable and a great home base for the week. The food was plentiful and delicious and the staff took great care of us. The fishing….well it’s the first time I’ve ever been on a catching trip. My buddy and I caught over 100 peacock bass each day with 155 being our best day. My expectations for this trip was high and they exceeded that. I guess the best compliment I can give them is I’ve already booked two future trips with them. Give them a call, you won’t be disappointed. Less

Our trip was so much more than we expected! Great fishing! Great food!! Great guides!! All inclusive! We are going back next year!

The people are great, the food is good, the fishing is exceptional, and you are treated better than family.

multi species trip was extraordinary.

Adventure of a lifetime! We had more fun than we imagined we could. Wellington is the best host!

Had a great trip this October. two of us caught over 450 fish in 5 days.the trip was amazing from the time we arrived to when we left.no complaints from the two of us whatsoever. I highly recommend this outfitter all the guides all worked their tails off to make it an incredible experience. we were so impressed that we booked two more trips with them.before we finished the first one.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
