Last night high tide was around 18:50. After a somewhat stressful day, I intended to try Ria Formosa. Even got some octopus and cuttlefish to try and ward off the tiny seabream which normally plague the Ria Formosa fishermen.

But by the time I was ready to leave, it was getting too late, and as traffic calmed down, I could hear the weaves from the beach. Eventually, I popped by the Praia da Alagoa main parking and as ocean was sufficiently noisy, decided to stay at the beach. I fished with remainder of bibi I had from the boring night session, cuttlefish and squid... And to my surprise, it was not completely uneventful. I had quite a few bites, mostly small fish, but I was kept busy baiting hooks and recasting, and so I was content to stay until around 23:00. End score was 2 mucharra, one pan size spotted bass and two sargo of about 20cm. By no means a colossal catch, but after the last 4 sessions, a welcome change of pace. Oddly enough, I got all the fish quite late, when the water had already receded.
