Not been to Portugal ....yet

Harbour fishing can be quite good or VERY frustrating
usual method I use in France and Spain is float fishing using bread as bait although sometimes little Ragworm work better

Get your kit packed and have a bash

i have thrown in bread and fished with white polystyrene in spain for mullet the biggers ones seemed to be able to suck the bread right off the hook so polystrene seemed to hook more of the slightly bigger ones

i also caught some stripey fish and some weird looking red things covered in spines that looked similar to gurnard but dunno what species they where lol

Hmm you've just give me an idea
What if I post some piccies of different species to help folk identify strange foreign fish


Will find a few and start an new thread OR Better still I will ad a new sub album to my Photobucket site and put them there to save bandwidth here

You have been lucky there but not that many fish are poisonous just the ones that are are usually very poisonous
