The boat angling can produce some nice bream.EFSA fished the species championship in 2010 in Albufeira targetting bream.The Irish Shore team fished the world shore championships in 2006 in Portugal.If you contact Brian Cooke on this site or through the IFSA website he will be able to give you some pointers or any other member of that Irish team will be only too delighted to give advice.

Villamoura, you say? You wouldn't mind popping along to these guys and expressing our opinion of them, would you?
