San Bartolomé de Tirajana in Gran Canaria is a premier fishing destination renowned for its exceptional big-game opportunities in the Canary Islands. The region's nutrient-rich Atlantic waters attract world-class species year-round, with peak seasons offering thrilling action for dedicated anglers.
Blue Marlin and White Marlin dominate the summer months from May through October, with July and August delivering the highest activity. These powerful billfish are frequently targeted using trolling techniques in deep offshore waters, where the area has produced record-setting catches. Alongside marlin, Yellowfin Tuna and Wahoo provide consistent action from June to October, while Bluefin Tuna migrations create explosive spring and autumn runs.
Variety extends beyond big game: Amberjack and reef species like Snapper, Bream, and Barracuda thrive near underwater structures year-round. Bottom fishing techniques yield consistent results in shallower zones, with winter months particularly productive for Amberjack. The combination of experienced local captains and diverse habitats—from deep drop-offs to volcanic seamounts—ensures versatile angling opportunities regardless of season.
