Wow! Check it out.....I didn't know....my best friend is from Lisbon and we were there a couple years ago but I didn't see any kayakers, just surfers. My favorite thing is going to the fish market and marveling at the fantastic variety of species.....good for you....now I gotta go back.
When is the main season for the bite?

[the dude]

Cool report. I just went to your site. Wow, you guys catch some insane white sea bass! 92lb!

I have been lucky in my lifelime to visit around 24 countries. I have to say without a doubt that Portugal is by far my favorite place. The people are awesome, the food is great and the sites are breath-taking. I drank my share of Vhino Verde, Gato wine while I was there. Obrigado!

Hi

The Kayak Fishing is very recent "sport" here in Portugal, although some people do so for years!

But Now is in a growing process


You ask me for the main season

Well in Portugal we always have fish, depending on the course of the year
and weather, the species have a singular main season (hope you understand my english)

That fish was caught in Spain!

In Portugal our record is 33.400 Kg!

Hi!

That´s the BIG problem

It´s very complicated, I will only summarize

Since we don´t have a law unique to kayaks here in Portugal,
In some places/captaincy we need to register the Kayak,so we can fish and others we don´t need the registration

For both we need fishing license board

About the motors, we cannot use them for Kayaks, unless we pay an amount

And in the USA?

Do you need registration?



Regards

P.S. - Hope you understand what I tryed to tell

[-scallywag-]

WOW awsome pics....i can't believe how many spinning reels i see if there are 30kg white seabass luking about??
Did that guy on the yellow prowler catch that WSB on a spinner?

[Holy Mackerel]

Thanks for sharing, I'd like to go kayak fishing in Portugal! :cool:

[driftwood]

As you can see by my expression on my face Im very Jealous and sad at the same time. We have crazy people here in California that are trying to stop kayak fishing forever. Hope that never happens to you. Thanks for sharing your berry nice pictures my friend.

Hi!

The problem is that legislators have not taken a fishing kayak in the law

And the authoritys see us as a source of income
