1577-acre Puerto De Las Palmas 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 179 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 1,577 acres, worked by 16.7 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 13% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 3.1 mi, about 1.7 mi across. Profunda Norte - Central East sits 9 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
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.

Come spring, look for atlantic bonito tight to the bank in 15 to 100 ft. Through summer count on 5 to 90 ft; the winter hold is 41 to 179 ft. Start at Deepest basin. It's a deep basin holding about 177 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

| Spring | 15 to 100 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (44 ft) | see map |
| Summer | 5 to 90 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (44 ft) | see map |
| Fall | 8 to 120 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (83 ft) | see map |
| Winter | 41 to 179 ft | midday | Deepest basin (177 ft) | see map |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: greater amberjack in 30 to 179 ft. The depth story barely changes: 16 to 179 ft through summer, 42 to 179 ft in winter. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 83 ft of water that rates prime for greater amberjack in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

When the water first warms, common dentex slide up into 20 to 130 ft. By summer they slide out to 30 to 179 ft, and by winter most fish are in 41 to 179 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 83 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

Spring bluefish on Puerto De Las Palmas hold shallow, usually 3 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 5 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 15 to 40 ft. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 30 ft, good for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a popper (early/late) or a metal jigs in the rips.
| 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 | Sharp break (30 ft) | 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) |
Spring puts red mullet in skinny water — 5 to 55 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 4 to 70 ft; cold water stacks them in 30 to 140 ft. Deepest basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 177 ft, rated good for winter red mullet. 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 Puerto De Las Palmas 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.

Puerto De Las Palmas is about 179 ft (55 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 Puerto De Las Palmas. 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.
Deepest basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 177 ft of water that rates prime for atlantic bonito in winter. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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 Puerto De Las Palmas is regulated by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing). Check the official Spain regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
