Re: Azores again....

Hi Guys,

I went to the Azores twice this year. First time was to Faial, I had planned to go out on a boat (charter) to the deep water but the whole trip fell through so just went shore diving instead, plenty of trigger fish, crystal clear water but not much else. I had planned to meet Rui in Sao George but the Ferry takes foreever to get there from Faial and only goes once a day. When I phoned him while I was there he was also having not much luck, maybe the rest of his trip was better, I don't know.Went for a short trip with my parents to San Miguel in November (not really a spearing trip ) more to see what the Island is like. The sea was quite choppy and vis not as good as during the summer. Although the island is very pretty, I didn't think it was as good as Faial or Pico as a spearing destination as the coast is a lot more rugged. I enjoyed the Azores but like most places if want to catch decent fish you gotta get a boat.

Cheers

Justin
