609-acre Desembocadura Del Guadarranque 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 Alboran Sea. 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 143 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
On the chart, Desembocadura Del Guadarranque draws 609 acres inside 5.8 miles of shoreline. Index 1.7 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. 18% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 2 mi with a 0.8-mi widest point. For a second option, Desembocadura Del Guadiaro - Punta De Calaburra - Sector 05 lies 16 mi northeast.
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 puts european seabass in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 55 ft. Shoreline point is the standout, a point at roughly 45 ft, rated good for fall european seabass. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (45 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Spring gilthead seabream on Desembocadura Del Guadarranque hold shallow, usually 3 to 35 ft. They move out to 2 to 45 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 100 ft. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

In spring, common dentex run shallow here, mostly 20 to 130 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 24 to 143 ft, and winter fish settle into 33 to 143 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 62 ft, rated prime for summer common dentex. Time it for early morning and the evening.

Come spring, look for red mullet tight to the bank in 5 to 55 ft. They move out to 4 to 70 ft in summer and finish the year down in 30 to 140 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deepest basin: a deep basin around 143 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Spring puts atlantic bonito in skinny water — 15 to 100 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 5 to 90 ft, and winter fish hold in 33 to 143 ft. Winter atlantic bonito concentrate at Deepest basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 143 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

In spring, bluefish run shallow here, mostly 3 to 20 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 5 to 30 ft before dropping to 15 to 40 ft for winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a popper (early/late) or a metal jigs in the rips most summer days.

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 Desembocadura Del Guadarranque 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.

Desembocadura Del Guadarranque is about 143 ft (44 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 european seabass, gilthead seabream, common dentex, red mullet, atlantic bonito, bluefish, greater amberjack, common sole roster for Desembocadura Del Guadarranque. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Sharp break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 62 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For european seabass, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Desembocadura Del Guadarranque is regulated by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing).
