Azores

Postby Big Dave » Tue Oct 14, 2008 8:06 pm

I head to the Azores every year for two weeks fly Dublin to Lisbon and then on to Horta, due to the recession I'm to be unemployed but if the fishing is as good as it was this summer I wont really mind. Taking the camper and heading for a few months.

Looks like a good option. I like the Mora Ell. Last time I got one of those I nearly craped myself.

Some of the best fishing of my life have been back 3 years. Must stick up some more pics, have some on my blog. No need for anything bigger than a boat rod from the shore, fishing 50m straight down everywhere on the islands.
