Member since February 2017 Porto Formoso, Portugal
Background
Hello, I am Pedro. I'm 38 years old, and I have 23 years of experience as a fisherman. My father had a traditional Azorean fishing boat "Barco de Boca Aberta" and I started learning with the old fisherman at the age of 15. I worked professionally on fishing until the age of 30. Now we (my sister Patricia and i) started this project of touristic fishing and we are loving it, because we enjoy meeting new people from different countries and cultures. We can say that we love what we do. See you soon. Pedro and Patricia
Techniques
Jigging, trolling, popping, bottom fishing, spinning, zagaia, spearfishing (I am a fishing addict).
