Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Hi! I live also in Gran Canaria. If you want, we can go together spearfishing or freediving.
 
Hi

Coming over in november. Any info on sites &species (taste 1 st) to fish would B apreciated.
What is the water temp in november? Is a 3.5 mm opencell enough..
 
Hi!!

In november the water temperature still at 21 grades. It's up to you, for me the best option is 5mm jacket and 3.5 trousers but i'm very thin and get cold very quickly.

Spearfishing is not allowed in the whole island, we have only eight zones. The best are in the north part and the worst (almost like a desert) in the south.
 
Thanks for reply.

Trying to deside wether or not I should go for fishing or just freedive.

How are the zones? Is it easy to go fishing from shore? Is there a map of the zones somewhere?

Do the officials check for permits? (Seems kind of waste of money &time to get a 3 year permit &go to a doctor for few fishing days)
 
When are you going to come? Which days?

Yes, in all of them you can go from shore. November is the wahoo season, it's an incredible catch if you have the oportunity.

I have been spearfishing for almost 6 year and i have never be asked for the permits but it doesn't mean that they will not check it if they see you... I think it is not a matter to be worried about but you never know.

There is a map. Send me an email to

Pablo.elias.moreno.oropesa@gmail.com

And i will send it to you.
 
Hi
Im going to porto de Mogan on april 8.

Any fish around this time a year?
 
Hi folks,

I'm also in Gran Canaria (Maspalomas) from 26.04.-02.05. and searching for buddies or information about nice dive sites (angelsharks, turtles, lot of fish, caves) for freediving. Happy about messages...regards Flo
 
I will be there during second half of november. PM me if you would like to spearfish or freedive.
