BICUDA

The Bicuda (Boulengerella maculate) is a scaled fish with a body contour that resembles the pike of the Canadian wilderness. It possesses a pointy mouth with many needle-like teeth.  It has a dorsal fin located in the rear third of its body.  Many bicuda demonstrate an eye spot at the base of the tail fin. This species tends to favor slower moving water along river banks under overhanging tees and within lagoons and creeks. They typically do not school in large numbers, but often roam in small packs. They primarily feed on small fish and will readily take a plug used to catch peacock bass. Once hooked, it is a very acrobatic fish, leaping numerous times during the battle. This fish can weigh in the lower teens.
