Largemouth
bass
Renowned
for their explosive strikes and spectacular leaps the Largemouth bass
is revered by millions of anglers in America, while most European
fisherman don't realise what a fantastic stock we have in Portugal.
The
reservoirs along the Guadiana river basin probably produce some of the
best Largemouth bass fishing in Europe. The Largemouth bass with its
ferocious appetite and aggressive strikes at the bait provides great
sport for new and experienced anglers.
Fishing
from the boat we can hunt and find the bait fish silently with the
electric motor and sonar. Find the bait fish, usually bleak, and the
Largemouth bass is not far away.
Many
of the
anglers from Northern Europe who come fishing with me for Largemouth
bass are suprised how the nature of the bites can change during the
course of the days fishing. In the
early morning the bass are exploding on the surface chasing poppers,
and in the afternoon tiny touches nipping at a jigged jelly worm.
Most
of the fishing is with lures, poppers, plugs and crank baits, and fly
fishing for Largemouth bass can be great fun.
