Pleasure fishing
After spending every summer for many years exploring the fishing in Ireland, I stumbled upon the fishing in Portugal and never looked back. The pleasure fishing in Portugal is simply incredibly good with 100lb bags of hard fighting carp and barbel are virtually guaranteed for average anglers fishing with me. My best catch was over 300lbs and included 19 doubles to 18lbs. A good match angler can catch over 100 hard fighting common carp per day!
A recent article by Andy Little in
Anglers Mail detailed his experiences on a trip to Portugal where reported that Portugal’s carp are
Itinerary
I meet you at the airport with my big pickup full of bait and tackle you can use, everything from inflatable boat to chairs. I take your gear and a few anglers; larger groups follow in a hire car. We drive about one hour to the north of our base, which compromises a self contained 4 double bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom and double and single beds and tv. There is also a kitchen and sitting room to relax in.
This accommodation is close to good fishing so no need for early starts, most like to get up around 7.30, have a full English breakfast which I cook for you. We leave around 8.00am for the fishing. These timings are completely flexible you can choose to start later if you wish or even night fish if you prefer.
We take cold drinks and a packed lunch in a cool box, I take a long a cooker to make hot drinks whilst we are out fishing. We normally finish the day around 7.00pm and then hit the local bar/restaurant for around 8.30 after a shower and change of clothes. A good meal with drinks is around £7.00 per head. I supply your permits, bait by the dustbin full, boilies and cases of sweetcorn. I even throw in a few cases of beer and bottles of brandy.
When the trip is over, I take you back to the airport, if your flights are around 6.00pm, we can get a half days fishing in on the last day if you choose.
Whilst we usually set out to fish one particular water as the results get better day by day as the feed draws in the fish, you can of course choose to fish other waters in the area, but moving about too much is not the way to get the best of the available sport!
*Compare the price for such organised fishing - we believe its "unbeatable"*
