1579-acre Aguas Profundas. Tenerife. Sector 12 Spain coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited Spanish hydrographic and research-survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Spanish WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in Canary Islands. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 664 ft. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The outline encloses 1,579 acres, worked by 8.9 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 2% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 3.8 mi end to end and 1.1 mi across at its widest. Its nearest charted neighbour, Aguas Profundas - La Gomera - Central West, is 31 mi to the west.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

Spring atlantic bonito on Aguas Profundas - Tenerife - Sector 12 hold shallow, usually 15 to 100 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 5 to 90 ft in summer, 50 to 220 ft once it turns cold. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

Spring puts greater amberjack in skinny water — 30 to 180 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 20 to 220 ft, wintering in 70 to 300 ft. Winter greater amberjack concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 299 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Early season common dentex use the shallows, holding in 20 to 130 ft. Summer is a 30 to 180 ft game here, winter a 60 to 260 ft one. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 299 ft, good for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Come spring, look for bluefish tight to the bank in 3 to 20 ft. They move out to 5 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 40 ft. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A popper (early/late) or a metal jigs in the rips is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Metal (Hopkins/Kastmaster), Pencil popper |
| Summer | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Popper (early/late), Metal jigs in the rips |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & midday | open water | Pencil popper, Big metal |
| Winter | 15 to 40 ft | midday | open water | Metal jig worked slow (southern waters) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: red mullet in 5 to 55 ft. As the season builds they drop to 4 to 70 ft, wintering in 30 to 140 ft. Time it for early morning and the evening.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: gilthead seabream in 3 to 35 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 45 ft before dropping to 20 to 100 ft for winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

MITECO 2025 national bathing-water census and coastal-domain review was reviewed, but no stable government record establishes a public fishing entrance, parking or launch for this exact mapped child. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, port and harbour rules, protected areas, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Spain waters are set by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing) — and special regulations can apply to Aguas Profundas - Tenerife - Sector 12 specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Spain's live national, autonomous-community, EU and protected-area rules before every coastal trip. Licences for shore, boat and underwater fishing, PescaREC registration or reporting, protected-species authorizations, minimum sizes, quotas, closures, gear limits and marine-reserve permits can differ between exterior and interior waters and can change during the season. Recreational fishing is allowed only in specified zones of some reserves and is commonly subject to a special authorization. A WFD boundary, source-audited contour, fishing-spot marker or bathing-water record is planning context only and never grants fishing, retention, shore entry, parking, launching, port access or safe navigation permission.

Aguas Profundas - Tenerife - Sector 12 is about 664 ft (202 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Official coastal monitoring from Spain national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the atlantic bonito, greater amberjack, common dentex, bluefish, red mullet, gilthead seabream, garfish, atlantic mackerel roster for Aguas Profundas - Tenerife - Sector 12.
