Member since February 2025 Tavira, Portugal
Background
Hello! I’m João Mendonça, a 23 years old sea enthusiast. I like to fish, mostly spearfishing, i’m local and i know some of the best spots in Algarve and in Lisbon to do these type of fishing. I know spots for rod fishing in the sea and for some Bass fishing in the Algarve countryside. I like to be in contact with the sea, and spearfishing is one of the ways I can do that so yeah, I’m just a chill guy that enjoys to eat fresh fish and be in the water. If you want to spend some quality time in Portugal and to catch quality fish hit me up!!

spearfishing, spinning and bottom fishing

Fantastic Day Out On Shore

VERIFIED   NEW  Bottom fishing on June 9, 2025
No real bites of our targeted species unfortunately, but that’s the nature of the game. I still had a great day being surrounded...
