I have been fishing from the age of 4.  I owned my own sea fishing boat for 10 years, fishing mainly for Bass Cod and Pollock . After ths time i decided it was time to have more of an adventure and after a holiday to Portugal I decided i wanted to go back and fish in Portugal as much as possible .I have fished with a guide  in Portugal for 5 years and decided it was time to do it myself as it is not dissimilar from my other business of arranging hunting for clients back in the UK .  I have a nice house in Corte de Cobres which is about 30 minutes from Mertola.  Within walking distance of the house is a stocked lake and also a river. The Rio Guadiana is 30 minutes away and the Alqueva Dam is an hour away. Lisbon and Faro airports are both about 2 hours away ..  The aim is to fish beutiful locations in the Alentejo region of Portugal,  from weir pools to massive dams .
