Go Fishing in Andalucia, Southern Spain


As seen on : Fishing in Spain, Fantastic fight with great Leerfish!!!!
Andalucia is a wonderful place for the angler to indulge his passion of
fishing. The shorelines of both the Atlantic and the Mediterranen are a magnet
for many who like to go fishing in Andalucia and when conditions are
right you will see alot of fishermen setting up all along the coast line as dusk approaches.
For those who want more of a challenge and a bit more excitement then
there are lots of companies operating out of all the major marinas
such as Duquesa, Estepona, Fuengirola Marbella Benalmadena who offer
sea fishing charter boats. On such a charter you can expect to fish
for swordfish, tuna, bass, bream and even shark.
Swordfish are found off the coasts of Almería,Granada and Málaga between July and
September and in the summer the tunny are swimming so close to the
surface you feel you could reach out and touch them. Barbate and Conil
are particularly good areas for these fish.
Throughout the summer there are many fishing competitions all around
the coasts of Andalucia and you can find details of thee at your local
marina. The World Coast Fishing Championships are held at Adra (Almería).
Fishing in Andalucia, from either the shore or a boat requires a licence.
This can be obtained from the offices of the "Delegación Provincial
de la Conserjeria de Agricultura y Pesca" of which there is an office
in all provincial capital cities. If you have any trouble locating
this then just ask one of the boat charter companies at your local
marina as they will be glad to help. Once you have your sea fishing
licence you will be able top use it in other regions in Spain.
In addition to the sea fishermen in Andalucia also have a great
selection of rivers and lakes to choose from. The latter for the most part
are man made reservoirs and are particularly popular. There are many of them
spread throughout Andalucia in the Alcornocales National Park and around
Grazelema for instance. Here you can fish for pike,black bass, barbel and carp.
There are in fact 64 such fishing preserves in the Nature Parks of
Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas and in Sierra Nevada.
One very popular location not far from the coast is the Charco Redonda
just off the new road to Jerez. Also in the same National Park of Los
Alcornocales is Celemin where there is a super "zona recreativa" at which
you can camp for a few days, free of charge, and fish to your hearts content.
The Rio Frio between Malaga and Granada in the foothills of the Sierra de Loja
has excellent trout fishing and actually has records of trout fishing there
going back to 1664. More recently there have been record catches of brown trout
weighing in at 5.2kg. The season lasts all year round there and
is a very popular location.
Fishing in Andalucia in any of their resevoirs, rivers and estuaries
requires a licence. These can be quite simply obtained from the
"Delegación Agencia Medio Ambiente" (AMA) and their offices re to be found
in each of the provincial capital cities. An angling licence is also
obtainable from branches of the Caja Mar bank.
