its a bit up in the air as there was a closed season mid march to mid may but its changing and some GNR (police) are enforcing the old rules others say just fish so its a bit iffy the rivers are ok for barbel but very few big carp and any carp over 20lbs is a very big fish for local portuguese angles-we have some nice fishing on our private sindicate on the algarve look me up john bate in portugal for details

as my mate has told you its big i 1st fished it 18 years ago and blanked but did see 1 carp that looked in mid 20s that day there are common carp barbel and black bass find area that has old trees in the water the carp like these areas there are areas where you almost never catch so its very hard but nice scenery 5000 acres john bate sweetcorn works ok

not allowed to push my website about carp fishing in portugal but i have been fishing the area you are asking about more than any other angler in portugal your timing is ok the fish are feeding well at that time of year and there are 2 waters with lots of fish to 18lbs close to you my best catch was years ago and over 300lbs with 19 doubles e mail me or phone when you are out may be able to meet up my number is 282-442292 remember you need a permit john bate in portugal
