5020-acre Punta Del Lago-Caleta Del Espino 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 164 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 5,020 acres, worked by 23 miles of shoreline. An index of 2.3 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. 17% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 9.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 2.2 mi at the beam. Its nearest charted neighbour, Punta Jandía – Punta Del Lago - Sector 01, is 19 mi to the northwest.
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.

When the water first warms, atlantic bonito slide up into 15 to 100 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 5 to 90 ft, winter 37 to 164 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deepest basin: a deep basin around 163 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 100 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (30 ft) | see map |
| Summer | 5 to 90 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (30 ft) | see map |
| Fall | 8 to 120 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (66 ft) | see map |
| Winter | 37 to 164 ft | midday | Deepest basin (163 ft) | see map |
Start shallow in spring: greater amberjack sit in 27 to 164 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 15 to 164 ft covers summer, 38 to 164 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 66 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Come spring, look for common dentex tight to the bank in 20 to 130 ft. Expect a summer slide to 27 to 164 ft, then a winter hold in 38 to 164 ft. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 66 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

Early season bluefish use the shallows, holding in 3 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 40 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 18 ft that grades good for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a popper (early/late) or a metal jigs in the rips and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (18 ft) | Metal (Hopkins/Kastmaster), Pencil popper |
| Summer | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (18 ft) | Popper (early/late), Metal jigs in the rips |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & midday | Sharp break (18 ft) | Pencil popper, Big metal |
| Winter | 15 to 40 ft | midday | open water | Metal jig worked slow (southern waters) |
In spring, red mullet run shallow here, mostly 5 to 55 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 4 to 70 ft before dropping to 30 to 140 ft for winter. Winter red mullet concentrate at Deepest basin, a good-rated deep basin around 163 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Spring puts gilthead seabream in skinny water — 3 to 35 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 45 ft, wintering in 20 to 100 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around 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 Punta Del Lago – Caleta Del Espino 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.

Punta Del Lago – Caleta Del Espino is about 164 ft (50 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.
