Bass Catch In Santa Clara has one main objective, and that is to get you on that Santa Clara Bass bite! Captain Joaquim Rosalino knows the lake intimately and will do his best to make sure you have an adventure to remember for years to come. Regardless of whether you might be a novice angler or a professional, you'll definitely want to check it out.

Your boat for the day will be a 19' Nitro Z19 Bass boat that runs on a 200 HP Mercury engine and can reach a most impressive speed of 75 knots. It's also equipped with a fishfinder device, to make sure you never lose track of your catch. There's plenty of room aboard for you to bring a pair of friends along for the ride if you want to.

As for the fishing itself, Santa Clara is home to some fantastic Largemouth Bass fishing. Not only that, but Carp are also abundant, with some specimens going over 10 kilograms in weight. Capt. Joaquim recommends the practice of catch and release as he is devoted to protecting the fishery for future generations.

He will provide you with the necessary rods, reels, and terminal tackle you'll need for the trip, along with the required fishing licenses. All you need to bring is a pair of sunglasses, a camera to record your adventure, and you're ready for a time to remember!

Explore the beautiful waters of Portugal with Bass Catch in Santa Clara and have the time of your life!

    Catching Bass 🎣

    Half Day Trip (AM) – Bass on June 23, 2026 • 1 adult

    Excellent fishing trip! Even though it was the slow season for bass fishing, we still caught over 13 fish. Captain Joaquim worked hard to keep us on fish and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. The snacks were delicious, and the beer was nice and cold—a perfect addition to a great day on the water. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and memorable fishing experience!

    We had a great day out, caught the fish that we were aiming for. Ricardo was amazing one of the best guides I've ever had. The sandwiches his mum made were lovely. It was a fantastic trip and I would recommend if anyone is in the area to have a day out with him.

    Superb fishing trip.

    Half Day Trip (PM) – Bass on October 22, 2024 • 2 adults

    Fantastic fishing trip in october with a very nice experienced captain and not only how he navigates the superb fishing boat from hotspot to hotspot but also as a fisherman. He throws the lures between the branches of the dead trees and catches the fish if it is nothing. The lake is full of fish like Gold carps, Largemouth bass and many more fish. The nature is beautiful and around dusk there were many fish jumping on the surface. It is pity the lake is low because of many drought years but still there are plenty fish to catch even when the weather or wind is not the best to catch fish. The drinks, sandwiches and homemade cake by the captains wife were delicious. My wife did join me and she don't like to fish but in the comfortable chair she did enjoy the whole trip and also for the phone addicts there is enough reach😉 We did caught fish and of course C&R to protect stocks in the years to come. The captain even caught a Gold carp with a plastic worm. I recommend everybody who like to fish or just be on the water and enjoy the silence and nature to book a trip.

    Dream fishing

    Full Day Trip – Bass on September 11, 2024 • 1 adult

    I recently had the most incredible fishing trip with an amazing captain! From start to finish, everything was beyond expectations. The captain was not only extremely knowledgeable about the best fishing spots, but also super friendly, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. The boat was another highlight of the trip. It was modern, well-maintained, and equipped with the latest technology, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. From high-quality fishing gear to comfortable seating, every detail was carefully thought out to enhance our adventure. I couldn’t have asked for a better day out on the water. I highly recommend this fishing trip – it's perfect for anyone looking for a fun and successful day of fishing!

I became a fisherman at Santa Clara Lake with my grandfather a long time ago on a small wooden boat. We had great moments with many and large Bass and I very much appreciate the fight and the magnificent Bass attacks.
