We embark at six in the ALBACOR, CAP. Eduardo and we were to cache bait, that is mackerel, that keep alive, after that we were there for the fishing place where it is presumed to have meager not very great, of 3 to 6kg.

Baits in the water and we went the drift catching some, was easy, they were many and they attacked with voracity, but it here is coming a boat is come close,rods ape for top and leaves from there so that they did not discover the fish. (Past few days a professional boat captured in this besieges 40.000kg that as sold for 1euro/kg , for we nothing more there.)

In another fishing place we anchor, could appear one dentex-pargo or a great meager-corvina, I changed line reels for a line of 4kg multi filament therefore could appear one dentex that it would be perhaps European record EFSA, placed the mackerel, regulated the line tension and after some minutes the rod fold , the line leave with great speed, was great and when biting the mackerel pulled out the great speed for underneath of the boat, obtained to prevent that the line broke on the boat, and asked for that they raised the other lines I moved of edge but the line did not stop they only remained about thirty or forty meters but I obtained there to control a little the fish, Eduardo freed the handle of the knotting and gave the reverse speed what it allowed me to recoup plus some line, was a long and pretty dance, but it left the fish with great howl there the remaining crew, one pink dentex-pargo capatão with 10,375kg European record efsa.

Until always
