Fishing report: 5th October, national holiday in Portugal
Fished Boca do Inferno near Cascais from 7:20AM to 11:00AM, and there where no squid to be had <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I used 3 Yamashita jigs and 15-40 grams sinkers. I finally figured the water is deeper than i thought: 8-9 meters deep.
Sunrise was at 7AM, high tide at 6:18AM, tide amplitude 2.7m-1.5m=1.2m, no wind or waves.
However, there where lots of people fishing mackerel, and the guy next to me managed to land 20+ mackerel (without using chum mix). He also managed to tangle his line on mine and hit me in the face with his float, after which i think he was afraid i would kick his ass. I didn't.
Gonna try again next week probably at night, and maybe using a float instead of a sinker. I'll use a lighter and thinner rod.
