Algarve Shark Fishing
Shark fishing takes place offshore, with the current Mikatours page describing fishing at least 10 miles off the coast of Portimão. Species referenced include blue shark and shortfin mako, among others. Sardines are referenced as bait.
The experience is presented for both experienced anglers and guests with no previous shark fishing experience, accompanied by an experienced crew. The current page advocates catch, photograph and release: sharks are returned to their natural habitat after capture and photographs.
