Along the
Barcelona coastline
fishing is
hot. You only have to visit the landmark ports, such as those of
Masnou, Premia de Mar, Mataro, Arenys de Mar, Malgrat de Mar, Blanes and Tossa de Mar to comprehend the numerous amount of
fishing boats and
fishing charters that are docked there.
In Maresme, the sea bottoms close to the coastline are mostly sandy with a random rock or two to be found. Toward Blanes, Lloret de Mar, and Platja d’Aro, however there are more than just rocks on the sandy sea bottom. The waters near Masnou, Mataro, and Arenys de Mar are quite shallow, therefore it is necessary to navigate close to 25 miles out in order to find
depths of 1000 meters for
deap sea fishing. On the sea charts we can see that between the Blanes coastline and Lloret de Mar, there is an actual canyon that begins scarcely two miles from the coast, which rapidly changes depth to 500 meters and ends at 1720 meters. It is clear that this abyss if full of life and attracts very large predators such as the
bluefin tuna, amberjack, swordfish, and the Mediterranean marlin, among others. At the end of April and May is when the bluefin tuna begin to show up again. The best season for your
sea fishing trips is June, July, and August.
In the spring, summer and Autumn, it is also a good time to go trolling along the coast
(In-shore trolling) . The areas of
bluefish and
leerfish are fished close in along the coastline, at a depth of about 7-8 meters with natural bait (small garfish and sea pikes, etc.). The Atlantic bonito and
dolphinfish are fished a bit further out from the shore, in waters that range from 50-80 meters in depth. During the winter months, we do mostly deep sea fishing for red bream, red porgy, green wrasse, white sea bream, and others.
By car, it is easy to get to Arenys de Mar and El Masnou on the C-32 Autopista (to Maresme). The Barcelona airport is 30 minutes away, and there is also the Girona airport, which is almost an hour. There are commuter trains from Arenys de Mar and El Masnou to Barcelona (and visa versa) every half hour.
Nice day fishing in Barcelona

Angeln in Barcelona
dankeschön, auch für den reibungslosen Ablauf. Hätten uns sehr gefreut wenn die Tour geklappt hätte. Wir waren am Samstag auf dem Montjuic bei Regen und haben aufs sehr wilde Meer geschaut, das wäre wirklich nichts geworden. Wenn wir das nächste Mal ne Tour vorhaben, kontaktiere ich Dich auf jeden Fall wieder! - Tobi, Münster
It was an experience that I can never forget
I finally go back to Hong Kong after my long trip in Euroup. It was really a great day fishing trip on 6/7 and that marks one of my greatest accomplishment in my life: to fish in the Mediterranean Sea. I have meet people from different countries on that day. Everyone was really nice and happy. Although the fishes were not as large as expcted, it was still a great experience to fish exotic species outside Hong Kong. They are quite dilicious on the table in the restaurantm too. Thank you so much for your introduction about the boat and the sea map of Barcelona, it was an experience that I can never forget. - Stanley L., Hong Kong
