Welcome to Tightlines-Portugal

The fish in the Alentejo just keep getting biggerMay I immediately offer you a warm welcome to the Tightlines-Portugal.com website.

Our speciality is well planned, personally led and organised Fishing Holidays in Portugal.

Our aim here is to provide access to organised guided
coarse fishing trips and holidays and sea angling holidays here in Portugal. 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. Likewise the Shark, Marlin and sea fishing in this part of Portugal, the Algarve is outstanding and with the opportunity to hook a new personal record or even a world record from our charter service.


In addition to this we have on offer the opportunity for those of you who are seeking a 'different' experience from the waterparcs and the beach whilst out here on a regular family holiday. We are able to organise and provide you with both our coarse fishing for carp, bass and barbel in the Alentejo or 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 along the Algarve coast. You can arrange these trips in advance or check availability from the hotel/villa when you are out in Portugal.

NB: booking in advance ensures we are available to provide you with a trip or two.

Although some of 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.
