Fishing
Two very different days: the open Adriatic from a boat, or the reed channels of Lake Skadar. Tackle is provided either way.

Sea fishing or Lake Skadar?
Sea fishing means a motorboat out of Budva into the open Adriatic, from €295 per boat. Fishing on Lake Skadar is quieter: a boat with a local fisherman, working the channels through the reeds, from €185 per boat. Both prices are for the whole boat, so the more of you there are, the less each person pays.
Tackle is provided. On Lake Skadar you also pay the national park entry fee — €5 per person, free for children under 15.
What to expect on a fishing trip
Boats go out early: fish feed more at dawn, and the sea is calmer. Nobody can guarantee a catch — it's fishing, not a fishmonger's — and an honest operator will tell you as much. Either way, you get a day on the water.
