Nice day out with Captain Nuno
Blue River Fishing on September 12, 20252 adults

We went on the river fishing tour, as it was too windy for the open sea. Nuno was very knowledgeable and gave some good tips and inspiration about fishing. We caught some gilt head breams, but the fishing gods were not super generous that day. Still a great experience and I'd go again.

Reported catch:
Gilt-head Seabream

Got a private trip!
Blue River Fishing on April 10, 20241 adult

I met the Captain Nuno and his sailor Paul at the local cafe where they bought breakfast and lunch for the trip (fresh pastries and ham and cheese sandwiches), they were friendly and on time. I was the only fisherman for the day! We drove a few miles out to sea while they told me about the sights and they spoke English well which was helpful as I had been start with the language. We set up and I had a fish on the line within 5 minutes. They baited all the hooks and explained about the species we were after. I caught about 12 fish of various local species. I would 100% recommend this tour to any beginning fisherman and I would definitely hire them again! I had a great time.

Reported catch:
Gilt-head Seabream
Atlantic Mackerel
