All day trips are subject to availability as guests booking accommodation or longer breaks with us take priority. Please contact us for availability.

FISHING LESSONS charged at 20 per hour including tackle. (min 4 hrs ) this is due to the time it will take to travel to the venue for lessons. Children under 14 can have lessons for 5 euros per hour when accompanied by a fully paying adult. The lessons can be in the most basic of skills, from setting up tackle, basic casting for float or feeder fishing, knots, the basics of how to bait different swims, and the more advanced techniques for set ups using rod pods and bite alarm systems.

TACKLE HIRE & BAIT
Tackle can be hired without guide at a cost of 25 euros per day per person plus a 200 euros deposit. Longer term hire can be arranged at special rates depending on length. Eg 3 days for 50 euros or 7 days for 75 euros. When hiring the tackle, advice can be given on where to fish, what methods to use and what baits work best. Baits can be purchased at extra cost.

Please note:- Closed Season

In Portugal it is from 14th of March until the 14th of May, however there are salt water related species such as big mullet and eels which can be fished for during this time. During this period it is possible to catch carp when fishing for other species, and as long as they are returned to the water quickly this should be ok.

                                                         ACCOMMODATION PACKAGES

Include transfer from Faro airport to your accomodation. No fishing on this day, a chance to unpack and relax after your journey. I will pick you up the next day at 7.30a.m to start our fishing experience. We will travel to one of our venues within an hours drive and spend the day fishing until around 6 p.m depending on season. I will then return you to your accomodation for the evening. All times are flexible so if you wish to start earlier/later that's fine. For those wishing to fish right up until dusk this can be arranged. Depending what time you fly on your final day it may be possible for us to get at least half a days fishing in, but we will leave that up to you. You will then be taken to Faro airport ready for your return flight home and hopefully you will have had a wonderful time and have caught lots of fish.

Even though our trips are aimed at the keen angler, they are open to all, including beginners and the most experienced angler alike. We also aim to provide a fun and enjoyable experience for the whole family whether everyone is fishing or not. There are plenty of things for the wife and children to do other than go fishing. Just ask my wife, as she has never got a line wet in her life.

With all packages you are required to arrange and book your own flights.
