FISHING

[pato]

I must come fishing with you some day EMM. My dad taught us girls to fish fresh water from about the age of 9yrs old but would love to do some beach casting.

I float fish from a ledge about 5/6ft above the sea so when it is stormy is a no go.
I christened a new 5mtr sea float rod bought in the Carvoeiro fishing shop, a christmas present, it will cast up to 100g.
The bait is de frosted prawn, , the cheapest from the deep freeze section in any of the supermarkets, or a a small piece of fish, sardine, carapau again from the deep freeze. If I can get away with it I use the big raw prawns cut up into 3 or 4 pcs.
I caught dourade and selima ( excuse spelling ) 3 of these each of which was enough for the two of us ,Its not a premium fish but I have caught mullet and seen bass caught from the same place.
I was told in the fishing shop that Centiannes beach is a good place to lure fish for bass early in the morning using plugs when the tide is right, again not too stormy.
Another method is to use a plastic floating egg, or heavy bubble float to beach cast a plastic sand eel or red gill type lure out to where the bass cruise. I will be trying this on my next trip.

Ever tried a Tesco value burger?

Thanks for the good fishing info. My nearest beach when I am there is Centiannes and it is superb there in the early morning. I went three times in October with just a local for company. Where did you catch your Dourade?

There are some rock ledges not too hogh above the sea around Algar Seco.
Just check the tide times and sea conditions before starting out.
