HOOK, LINE AND SINKER

Surfcasting in Ericeira

By Rod Loboz

September 5^th, 2014

September in Portugal is a great month. The weather is still warm, the beaches are usually less crowded and it’s a great time to experience what’s left of summer. The waves were not too big and a friend invited me to join him surfcasting on the beautiful coast of Ericeira. I decided to take my camera and take some pictures.

My dog helps pass the time while we wait for a fish to bite on the line.
