I recently received an email as follows:
ello iôm from Portugal and my hobby is squid fishing, the best fishing for squid in portual is near Cascais.....
I was hoping that someone could give me a bit more information about Cascais and whether fishing would be land based or boat based.
Thanks very much,

I am not sure about pissing arround Boca d'Inferno, but I didn't fish from there, because it's almost impossible to find ground for standing at the edge. I think that squidding at Boca d'Inferno is related to cuttlefish, because the squids are near Cascais only in summer. Cascais itself is on the cape that somehow divides estuary of Tejo river and Atlantic ocean. In this part of estuary there is no trace of fresh water, except when raining. I was squidding there 8 years ago from the boat. The new marina was at the beginning of construction. We went mainly fishing for sea bass (robalo), mackerels (cavalas) and garfish (agulhas) on lures. Sometimes (during july and august ONLY) we went jigging for squids in the midday. We used 3 jigs in a row, about 0,5m apart, with 60g led on the bottom. The squidding was the best arround noon, about 12m deep near sandy bottom, and we managed to catch about one bucket of squids (20kg) for few hours. They were average size arround one pound.
I didn't see this forum earlier, so I am sorry I didn't answer before...
