A day to remember, fishing for barbel with Shaun Nurse
Having helped many family and friends to catch some special fish, I am now looking to help everyone in some shape or form to catch the ‘special one’. Whether you are an angler with many years experience looking for different ideas and approaches or a novice starter learning to read the river, we can design a day around you.
- We can use your equipment/mine or both.
- Times, food and other specifics to be tailored to your requirements.
- The day shall consist of informative and fun guiding into river fishing.
Day Sessions from approx – £150pp / £225 Two persons. Obviously with so many variables, the cost will be tailored to each session.
New for April, May and early June – “Walk, Talk, & Stalk” A chance to at least have a look and talk fishing even if you can`t wet a line! You will almost certainly have the chance to watch barbel and chub in their natural environment. Just contact me for more details…
We also provide half day sessions, please contact us for further details and a personalised quote.

I have been fishing from the age of 4. I owned my own sea fishing boat for 10 years, fishing mainly for Bass Cod and Pollock. After this time I decided it was time to have more of an adventure and after a holiday to Portugal I decided I wanted to go back and fish in Portugal as much as possible. I have fished with a guide in Portugal for 5 years and decided it was time to do it myself as it is not dissimilar from my other business of arranging hunting for clients back in the UK.
I have a nice house in Corte de Cobres which is about 30 minutes from Mertola. Within walking distance of the house is a stocked lake and also a river. The Rio Guadiana is 30 minutes away and the Alqueva Dam is an hour away. Lisbon and Faro airports are both about 2 hours away. The aim is to fish beautiful locations in the Alentejo region of Portugal, from weir pools to massive dams.
