Fishing Trips Meloneras - Deep Sea

Fishing Trips Meloneras – Fishing in the rich Grounds of Gran Canaria

Meloneras is known for its elegant promenade and calm atmosphere, but just offshore lies one of Gran Canaria’s most productive fishing areas. These Fishing Trips allow you to explore the deep Atlantic waters with experienced crews who know exactly where and how to fish depending on the season and sea conditions.

Even without a fishing harbor in Meloneras itself, nearby marinas provide fast access to excellent fishing grounds, often within minutes after leaving the port.

Do Fishing Boats depart from Meloneras ?

Fishing excursions for guests staying in Meloneras usually depart from Puerto Rico or Puerto de Mogán. These ports are strategically located along the southwest coast, an area protected from strong winds and currents. As a result, trips can be operated year-round with a high level of comfort on board.

The Fishing Techniques, Seasons and the targeted Species

The tours combine comfort, professionalism, and access to diverse fish species, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking to enjoy an authentic fishing experience during their stay.

Trolling Fishing – Summer Season

Trolling is one of the most popular techniques used on fishing trips from Meloneras. While the boat cruises offshore, multiple lines are set to attract large and fast-moving fish. Common species caught with trolling include:

Tuna varieties such as skipjack and yellowfin
Bonito, known for their speed and power
Barracuda, a challenging predator with aggressive strikes
Occasionally mahi-mahi during warmer months

This method is ideal for anglers looking for action and the thrill of open-sea fishing.

Bottom Fishing – Winter Season

Bottom fishing focuses on the rocky seabed closer to the coast and is often calmer but equally rewarding. This technique targets species that live near reefs and underwater structures, such as:

Sea bream
Groupers
Snappers

Bottom fishing is especially suitable for beginners, families, and guests who enjoy a more relaxed fishing experience.

Sustainable Fishing Practices

All fishing trips operate under local regulations that protect marine life. Crews respect size limits, seasonal restrictions, and protected species. Catch-and-release is practiced when required, ensuring that fishing remains sustainable and preserves the marine ecosystem around Gran Canaria.
