The bigger female blue shark are now moving in.
This one was caught today by Brian Oates from the Isle of Man.
It was over two metres long and weighed approx 100lbs.

Nice one Dave, and welcome to the forum

What bait/tactics do you guys use in Portugal?

Dave Godwin · #3 05-10-2006, 04:54 PM

Hi Dan, thanks for the reply.
We fish on the drift, using Sardine for the chum and as hook baits.
Although there are literally millions of Mackerel they are not that interested.
The chum attracts the Mackerel and Garfish and very soon the Dorado will show up in the slick.
