Right! After much thought and toil trying to set this up - I am finally up and running!

 

Welcome to my fishing blog!

 

As first entry, since I we are under lockdown, a few words about myself.

 

Born and bread in former Yugoslavia, Republic of Serbia. As a kid I watched my dad fish for chub and gudgeon in crystal clear rivers of South Serbia and caugh the fishing bug myself in the early age of 6... or 7... 

 

And THAT WAS IT, I was hooked! As I matured, I kept discovering new techniques, new waters, new species and it was always that old feeling, only a bit more different... I can say with no uncertainty that, given a chance, I could go fishing 12 hours a day without getting bored!

 

Life took me to The Netherlands where I went for work, and there I discovered sea fishing! I mean, North Sea is brutal and cold, but it is rich in fish! And that was what kept me going - unlike carp, who are almost dormant in winter, sea fish are active all year round, and almost everyday... If you are reading this - you know what I mean, I am sure, so let's move on...

 

Having discovered sea fishing I quickly got bored with cod and flatfish, but luckily The North Sea has some pretty nice seabass - and once you get one of those, on a lure preferably, you can not go back...

 

Now, I am blessed with living in Portugal, small town of Altura in the Eastern Algarve, and I spend as much time as I can on Praia da Alagoa. This is what I call MY WATER, and this is what most entries are going to be about!

 

Of course, I am an equal oportunity employer:):):) - wherever I go, there will be fishing done, and the blog will reflect that. 

 

So, for today, I am just happy this is up and running, but I must go take a walk on the beach, if you catch my drift:):):)
