Puerto de Mogán

Fish documented nearby, not here

Nothing below has been documented at Puerto de Mogán itself. Each one has been documented at a named place on the same ground, and the places are listed with it. Treat this as what the water around here holds rather than as a catch list for this mark.

How people fish it

Practised here: Sea fishing.

Methods the sources name for this ground. Each one is explained in full on its own page.

• Float fishing

  Suspending a bait at a controlled depth beneath a buoyant indicator — the most visual, most controllable and most widely applicable method in angling.

• Ledgering

  Fishing a bait on the bottom held by a weight, with no float — the simplest way to fish at distance, in depth, or in wind.

• Light rock fishing

  Ultralight lure fishing from the shore with tackle rated in single grams — a discipline that catches the fish everybody else steps over, and one FishingHQ held every component of and had never named.

The ground and the water

The ground

A small harbour at a valley mouth on the island's sheltered south-west coast, with a breakwater, a marina basin, a dark sand beach beside it and the rock of the cliffs closing both sides of the bay.

Exposure

In the island's lee, and among the calmest water in the archipelago — the reason the south-west carries the charter fleet.

Getting there

What public sources describe, last checked 2026-08-27. Car parks fill, services change and a path existing is not a path anybody may use — none of this is a guarantee of availability and none of it is permission to be anywhere.

Getting to it

A marina and fishing harbour at the western end of the southern resort coast, at the foot of the Mogán valley. The regional harbour authority administers it as a community port and publishes an address and a berth count for it and nothing else — no car park field, no facilities list and no statement about shelter.

Public transport

Six scheduled interurban lines reach this harbour, which is more than anywhere else on the island: lines 1 and 91 from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the latter direct from Santa Catalina; lines 32 and 33 from Playa del Inglés; line 70 from Palmitos Park; and line 38 from La Aldea. Times, fares and frequency are the operator's and change.

Rules and access

FishingHQ does not know the current access position here. The Canary Islands are an autonomous community licensing their own recreational sea, boat and underwater fishing, separately from mainland Spain, and the archipelago carries marine reserves in which fishing and diving are restricted or prohibited on boundaries a visitor cannot see from the shore. Measures change. Check the current position with the Canarian government's fisheries administration before going.

Who holds the answer:

• The Canarian government's fisheries administration, which licenses recreational sea and underwater fishing in the archipelago.
• The island council, for local measures and for access to the coast.
• The marine reserve administration, where the water is inside a reserve.
• The regional Canarian government fisheries administration, for recreational licences, sizes and species rules
• The Spanish national maritime and fisheries authorities, for offshore and vessel matters
• The managing authority of any marine protected area or reserve, whose zoning governs what is permitted inside it
• Local dive centres, charter operators and clubs, for current practice and access on individual islands
