Worried about rising baggage charges when flying?

Well with a holiday with Tightlines Portugal your cost can be minimised by bringing only the most important, personal items you really have to have. Many of our holidays include the use of tackle and most, if not all the bait is included! Leave all the heavy bits and pieces in the shed, travel light!

If you are coming for a DIY holiday we can provide the bait, groundbait and camping equipment, thereby reducing the cost dramatically. Why not get in touch with me to discuss your needs and save yourself some money by arranging our support when you arrive!

hosts imageMay I immediately offer you a warm welcome to the updated 2007 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 targetted 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. We look forward to hearing from you being able to provide you with a holiday to remember.
