13,247-acre Punta Jandía-Punta Del Lago. Sector 01 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 177 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 the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The outline encloses 13,247 acres, worked by 28.5 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 16% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 10.5 mi end to end and 4.5 mi across at its widest. If the bite dies, Punta Del Lago – Caleta Del Espino is 19 mi to the southeast.
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.

Early season atlantic bonito use the shallows, holding in 15 to 100 ft. Even in summer they hold at 5 to 90 ft; winter keeps them in 40 to 177 ft. The chart's best answer is Shoreline point — point, 10 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 100 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (50 ft) | see map |
| Summer | 5 to 90 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (10 ft) | see map |
| Fall | 8 to 120 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (50 ft) | see map |
| Winter | 40 to 177 ft | midday | Sharp break (158 ft) | see map |
In spring, greater amberjack run shallow here, mostly 30 to 177 ft. Summer keeps them at 16 to 177 ft, and they winter in 41 to 177 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 158 ft, rated prime for spring greater amberjack. Time it for early morning and the evening.

Spring common dentex on Punta Jandía – Punta Del Lago - Sector 01 hold shallow, usually 20 to 130 ft. They move out to 30 to 177 ft in summer and finish the year down in 41 to 177 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 158 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

When the water first warms, bluefish slide up into 3 to 20 ft. Summer is a 5 to 30 ft game here, winter a 15 to 40 ft one. Start at Shoreline point. It's a point holding about 10 ft of water and rates good come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a popper (early/late) or a metal jigs in the rips rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (10 ft) | 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 | Shoreline point (10 ft) | Pencil popper, Big metal |
| Winter | 15 to 40 ft | midday | open water | Metal jig worked slow (southern waters) |
Start shallow in spring: red mullet sit in 5 to 55 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 4 to 70 ft, and winter fish settle into 30 to 140 ft. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 50 ft of water that rates good for red mullet in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Start shallow in spring: gilthead seabream sit in 3 to 35 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 45 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 100 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

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 Jandía – Punta Del Lago - Sector 01 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 Jandía – Punta Del Lago - Sector 01 is about 177 ft (54 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 Punta Jandía – Punta Del Lago - Sector 01. 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 158 ft of water that rates prime for greater amberjack in spring. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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.
