6534-acre Profunda Norte. Central East 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 883 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's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Profunda Norte - Central East draws 6,534 acres inside 24.9 miles of shoreline. A development index of 2.2 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 2% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 9.1 mi with a 2.4-mi widest point. The nearest mapped water is Puerto De Las Palmas, 9 mi to the north.
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.

In spring, atlantic bonito run shallow here, mostly 15 to 100 ft. Summer keeps them at 5 to 90 ft, and they winter in 50 to 220 ft. Winter atlantic bonito concentrate at Sharp break, a good-rated drop-off around 230 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Come spring, look for greater amberjack tight to the bank in 30 to 180 ft. They move out to 20 to 220 ft in summer and finish the year down in 70 to 300 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 230 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Spring puts common dentex in skinny water — 20 to 130 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 30 to 180 ft; cold water stacks them in 60 to 260 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 230 ft, rated prime for winter common dentex. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Spring puts bluefish in skinny water — 3 to 20 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 30 ft, wintering in 15 to 40 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A popper (early/late) or a metal jigs in the rips covers the summer program.
| 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) |
When the water first warms, red mullet slide up into 5 to 55 ft. By summer they slide out to 4 to 70 ft, and by winter most fish are in 30 to 140 ft. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

Early season gilthead seabream use the shallows, holding in 3 to 35 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 45 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 100 ft. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

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 Profunda Norte - Central East 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.

Profunda Norte - Central East is about 883 ft (269 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 Profunda Norte - Central East. 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 230 ft of water that rates prime for greater amberjack in winter. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For atlantic bonito, 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 Profunda Norte - Central East is regulated by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing).
