Welcome to Tightlines-Portugal

The fish in the Alentejo just keep getting biggerMay I immediately offer you a warm welcome to the updated 2009 Tightlines-Portugal.com website. Our aim here is to provide access to organised guided fishing trips and even DIY fishing coarse and sea angling holidays in the beautiful Algarve region of Portugal. Here we are able to provide excellent carp fishing for super carp, barbel fishing for mega barbel and black mouth bass in the many dams and huge barbel and sturgeon to 155lb in rivers in the region.


In addition to this we have on offer the opportunity for those of you who are seeking a 'different' experience, we are able to organise sea fishing for both shore, rock and beach fishing for bass etc and for the real enthusiast, charter boats for record breaking marlin fishing, shark fishing and corvina fishing.

Although these are all targeted at the more dedicated anglers who wish to fish with friends, all of what we offer is family friendly and combining an angling holiday with one with the wife and kids should not be discounted, there is so much more for a family to do other than fish or sit in the sun.

I won't ask you to just take my word for it, I am after all rather biased, but please do take a look at the pages on the web site and if you have any particular requirements or needs please do get in touch by mail, email or the telephone and discuss these with me directly. We look forward to hearing from you being able to provide you with a holiday to remember.

Visitor Testimonials

Some cracking fish are there to be caught in the AlentejoThis page provides an opportunity for Tightlines Portugal to establish that it offers a service that has and continues to meet its customers needs and aspirations of what we are all looking for when booking with an angling guide. These anglers put their faith in what we offered and booked their trips and enjoyed both the fishing and the hospitality we were able to provide. There are other such testimonials to be found in our TLP News pages, where we will be reporting on the trips this and future seasons.

Not everyone makes such statements about their trips, and we make no demands for them to do so, but those that do, perhaps appreciate the value to a business such as Tightlines Portugal. Some actually write full detailed reports, as will be seen in those by Steve Wozniak (he of Apple computer fame) and Stuart and his friends.

Read Stuart and his friends article about Shark Fishing break they booked.

If you have any questions or queries that may only be answered by asking them directly, feel free to drop me an email, use our Enquiries page or telephone me, and I will answer them readily.
