Artificial Lure here, checking in with your Atlantic Spain fishing report, from Galicia down toward Cádiz.

On the Galician Rías, around A Coruña and Ría de Arousa, we’ve got a classic early-summer pattern: weak predawn breeze, building to 10–15 knots of north–northeast by late morning, then easing toward dusk. Skies running mostly clear to partly cloudy, with cooler, misty dawns off the open coast and bright sun by midday. Air temps are sitting mid-teens at first light, pushing well into the twenties inland by afternoon. The Atlantic is holding cool, generally 15–18°C nearshore.

Sunrise is coming early on this stretch of coast, with first light already fishing-good by about an hour before the sun breaks the horizon. Sunset still leaves you a generous evening window; figure that last 90 minutes of light as prime time on the rocks and beaches.

Tidewise, the north coast is working through generous Atlantic ranges, with lows exposing plenty of rock and sand structure and highs pushing bait right up to the edges. Around the big rías, mid-tide movements are strongest in the channels; that is when the current really wakes the fish up. Down toward the Gulf of Cádiz, the range is a bit more modest but the current still matters around inlets and harbour mouths.

Fish activity has picked up nicely. Along the rocks and surf zones from Ferrol to Finisterre, European sea bass are chewing best in low light on a moving tide. Expect smaller schoolies mixed with the odd proper roba gallos-class fish. In the cleaner surf pockets and estuary mouths, anglers have been into good numbers of gilt-head bream and palometa, with some serious mullet cruising the edges.

Out wider, when the wind and swell allow, boats working the drop-offs and reefs are reporting mixed bags of pollack, pouting, and the occasional bonito and small tuna sliding in when the bait pushes tight. Closer to the Strait and the Cádiz side, there have been steady catches of larger Atlantic bonito, dentex, and bycatch of amberjack on the deeper marks, plus solid bream and small meagre in the surf and estuaries.

For lures, think local and simple. On the open coast for bass, slim metal jigs and shore-casting spoons in 30–60 g, plus long, white or anchovy-colored soft plastics on 20–30 g jig heads, are doing damage when fished fast through bait schools. At first and last light, surface walkers and poppers in natural or bone patterns are drawing explosive hits over submerged rocks and along channel edges. In slightly stirred-up water, small rattling minnows in green-back or sardine patterns shine.

Bait anglers should lean on fresh local offerings: whole or strip mackerel, sardine, and squid for bass and pollack; lugworm, ragworm, and crab for bream and the pickier bottom species. Around river mouths and harbours, small pieces of prawn or mussel on fine gear will keep you busy with mullet and assorted mini-species.

A couple of hot spots to circle on your mental chart:

• The rocky points and outer beaches around Costa da Morte, especially near Cabo Vilán and the surrounding calas. Work the first hour of flood and last of the ebb with surface lures and soft plastics for bass, then switch to metals once the sun is up.

• Down south, the surf and inlets around Barbate toward Zahara de los Atunes. On a decent push of water and a bit of chop, this stretch can light up with bass, bonito just off the beach, and quality bream in the gutters. Dawn and dusk again are your money windows.

Treat the swell and the rocks with respect, fish the tides, and match your lure size to the local bait. The Atlantic is generous here if you put the time in.

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in from Spain’s **Atlantic coast** – from the outer rías of Galicia down toward the mouth of the Guadiana – with your evening fishing rundown.

Along the Galician stretch, local tide tables from A Coruña and Vigo harbors show a **rising tide through late evening into a near‑midnight high**, with a decent range after a smaller morning low. That push of water has lit up the current lines around the **rocky points and ría mouths**, especially where bait is stacked on the edges of kelp and sand.

Weather along the Atlantic side has been **stable but fresh**: northwest to north winds around 10–18 knots on the exposed coast, easing slightly inside the rías, with a lingering west‑northwest swell around 1–2 meters on the open points. Skies have been partly cloudy with good clear spells; air temps mild, sea temps in the mid‑teens Celsius up north and nudging higher as you slide south toward Huelva. Sunrise came early on the Cantabrian side and set late over the ocean, giving a long, fishy crepuscular window; the bite has centered on that last 90 minutes of light into dark.

**Fish activity and recent catches**

From local club reports and tackle‑shop chatter in A Coruña, Arteixo, and the Rías Baixas:

- **Sea bass (lubina)** have been the stars on the flood, working bait tight to the rocks and river mouths. Most fish have been schoolies in the 40–55 cm range, but there have been a few solid 3–4 kg fish taken at dusk on the outer points.

- **Atlantic mackerel and horse mackerel (jurel)** have been roaming the deeper channels and harbor mouths, especially where the lights hit the water after dark.

- Mixed bags of **bream (sargos, maragotas)** are coming off the rough ground, with smaller fish plentiful and the odd slab for patient bait anglers.

- Farther south, around **Ayamonte and Isla Cristina**, reports from local charter skippers mention **palometón, bluefish, and smaller dentex** outside the bars when the wind has allowed.

**Best lures and bait**

Spinning anglers have been doing well with:

- **Surface walkers and pencil poppers** in bone or sardine patterns for bass over shallow reefs right on low light.

- **Slim minnows and sinking stickbaits** (12–17 cm) in natural silver/anchovy colors once the sun drops or when the water’s a bit stirred up.

- **Metals and casting jigs** (20–40 g) for mackerel and jurel working the current seams from harbor walls.

For bait:

- **Live or fresh sardine**, whole or fillet, has been deadly for better bass on the edges of channels.

- **Ragworm and lugworm** are accounting for plenty of bream and the odd flatfish on cleaner patches.

- In the south, **live mullet or small cut squid** has turned the head of bigger predators around the river mouths.

If the sea stays a touch lumpy on the open coast, drop back into the rías: the bass have followed the bait well up the estuaries on the evening flood.

**A couple of hot spots**

- **Punta Nariga and neighboring points, Costa da Morte:** Exposed, wild country, but when swell and wind line up, the evening rising tide has produced quality bass on topwaters and long‑cast minnows. Fish the white‑water tongues that peel off the rocks and keep moving until you find bait.

- **Ría de Vigo outer zone – Cíes line and Cabo Home side:** On calmer evenings, the current lanes here have held mackerel, jurel, and active bass. Work the points and island edges on the last of the flood with sinking stickbaits or soft plastics hugged to the drop‑offs.

If you’re heading out tonight, travel light, bring a few proven patterns in natural baitfish colors, and time your session around that evening push of tide. The fish haven’t gone mad, but for those matching the conditions, the **quality** has been there.

Buenas noches, aquí Artificial Lure con tu parte de pesca para la costa atlántica de España: desde la ría de Vigo hasta la Costa da Morte y un guiño al Cantábrico occidental.

Hoy el Atlántico viene con mar de fondo suave, viento flojo del noroeste en la mayor parte de Galicia y nubes y claros, con alguna bruma pegada a la costa a primera hora. La AEMET anuncia temperaturas suaves, rondando los 15–18 ºC al amanecer y subiendo a los 20–23 ºC por la tarde en zonas abiertas. El mar anda sobre 1–2 metros de ola de componente oeste–noroeste, manejable para orilla y para embarcación cercana.

La pleamar de madrugada se ha dado en torno a las 3–4 de la mañana, con bajamar hacia las 9–10, y segunda pleamar a primera hora de la tarde, según los mareógrafos de Puertos del Estado para Vigo, A Coruña y Ferrol. Marea viva moderada, con buen tirón de agua en puntas y bocanas de ría: ideal para lubina y robalo.

El sol ha asomado poco después de las seis y media y se esconderá sobre las nueve y media de la noche, dándonos dos ventanas claras de actividad: amanecer y última luz, con un repunte marcado al inicio de la bajante y en el primer tramo de la llenante.

Los últimos días, los partes locales y charlas de puerto hablan de buena actividad de **lubina**, **sargo**, **maragota**, algo de **pinto**, **caballa**, **jurel** y las primeras **aguas** y **palometas** cerca de la superficie. En embarcación ligera desde Cíes y Ons se están viendo jureles y caballas en cantidades decentes al curri y a jig ligero, con algunos bonitos pequeños más afuera. Desde costa, varias lubinas de 1–3 kilos han salido en pedreros batidos de la Costa da Morte y en las bocanas de las rías, con bastantes sueltas de talla justa.

En cuanto a señuelos, para lubina desde costa hoy mandan los **paseantes hundidos** y **minnows** de 110–140 mm en colores naturales: sardina, anchoa y blanco nacarado, sobre todo con el agua algo tomada. En las primeras y últimas luces, paseantes de superficie y “stickbaits” trabajados despacio por encima de la espuma están dando picadas muy serias. Para jigging ligero desde embarcación, metal jigs de 15–30 g en azul y verde están sacando caballa y jurel sin problema.

Si vas a cebo, lo clásico sigue funcionando: **xorra** y **gusano americano** para sargo y lubina en playa y canal, **cangrejo verde** en pedrero para los robalos buenos, y sardina a tiras para jurel y caballa desde espigón. Por los comentarios de las tiendas de Vigo y A Coruña, la navaja y el choco troceado también están dando sorpresas con rodaballos y alguna corvina aislada en arenales profundos.

Un par de puntos calientes para hoy:

- **Boca de la ría de Vigo – zona Rodas / Monteferro**: con la marea moviendo agua entre las Cíes y la costa, la corriente arma comederos muy buenos para lubina y jurel. Ideal al amanecer, lanzando minnows y vinilos tipo shad a contracorriente y dejándolos trabajar con la deriva.

- **Costa da Morte – entorno de Muxía / Cabo Touriñán**: mar algo más hecho, espuma pegada a las piedras y buenos canales. Perfecto para buscar el robalo serio al amanecer y al anochecer, con paseantes hundidos y vinilos plomados de 20–30 g, dejándolos rozar fondo en los canales.

Resumiendo: mar pescable, marea con fuerza, temperaturas suaves y bastante vida en el agua. Ajusta hora

Buenas noches, soy Artificial Lure, tu colega de costa atlántica española, trayéndote el parte de hoy.

En la franja cantábrica y costa noroeste, el Atlántico ha venido con mar de fondo moderado y viento suave del noroeste en muchos tramos. Temperaturas del agua frescas, rondando los 16‑19 ºC según zona, con cielos mixtos: claros al amanecer, más nubosos por la tarde. El amanecer ha caído alrededor de las 6:45 y el ocaso hacia las 21:45, lo que nos deja un buen tramo de luz dorada para tentar a los depredadores pegados a las piedras.

Las mareas han sido vivas estos días: bajamar a primeras horas de la mañana y pleamar a media tarde en la mayoría de puertos gallegos y cantábricos. Ese último tercio de subida ha sido clave para lubinas y sargos arrimados a espumeros y salientes rocosos. El parón de marea a la pleamar ha traído picadas más finas, sobre todo de doradas en las playas más abiertas.

En cuanto a actividad, se han visto buenas lubinas en la costa de A Coruña y Rías Baixas, muchas entre 1 y 2 kilos y alguna señora por encima de los 4. En la costa de Pontevedra han salido bastantes robalizas de ría, más pequeñas pero muy combativas. En el Cantábrico oriental, entre Bizkaia y Gipuzkoa, bonitos de costa aún discretos, pero empiezan a verse bancos de caballa y jurel que animan la cosa al amanecer.

Los sargos han dado la cara en acantilados y rompientes, con pescas de 6‑10 piezas por puesto en días movidos. Alguna dorada curiosa se ha dejado ver en arenales de Lugo y en playas amplias de Galicia sur, muchas entre 800 gramos y kilo y medio. Los chicharros han estado comiendo bien al anochecer, ideales para una pesca rápida con sabiki o pequeños vinilos.

En cuanto a señuelos, para la lubina lo que mejor está funcionando son minnows estilizados de 13‑17 cm en colores naturales: anchovy, sardina y verdoso con lomo oscuro. En zonas de poca agua y mucha roca, paseantes de superficie y stickbaits pequeños están siendo mortales al amanecer, con ataques violentos en las primeras luces. Los vinilos tipo shad con cabeza plomada de 15‑30 g siguen siendo apuesta segura cuando el mar está algo tomado, trabajando despacio por el fondo.

Para pesca con cebo, la navaja y el cangrejo verde están dando lubinas gordas y sargos de muy buen porte. Para dorada, coreano y americano montados finos han marcado la diferencia en playas calmas. Para jurel y caballa, tiras de sardina o pequeñas gambas peladas en aparejos de varias gametas están llenando cubos en poco rato cuando pasa el banco.

Te dejo un par de puntos calientes para estos días:

– Costa da Morte, alrededores de Malpica y zona rocosa hacia Caión: buenos espumeros con mar de fondo, perfectos para lubina al amanecer con minnows y vinilos, y sargos al cebo desde las piedras.

– Entradas de rías en las Rías Baixas, como la bocana de la ría de Vigo y zona exterior de la ría de Arousa: lubina de ría al amanecer y atardecer, y mucho jurel al caer la noche con pequeños jigs metálicos o sabikis.

Como siempre, ojo al mar, respeto a las tallas y recoge lo que lleves: los mejores pesqueros son los que cuidamos entre todos.

Buenas, soy Artificial Lure, con el parte de pesca para la costa atlántica de España: desde A Costa da Morte y Rías Baixas hasta la zona de Vigo y la desembocadura del Miño.

Empezamos por la mar. Para la franja gallega atlántica hoy manda un **mar de fondo moderado**, olas en torno a 1–1,5 m, algo más abierto al noroeste. El viento se mantiene del norte–nordeste, flojo a moderado por la mañana, apretando un poco por la tarde, lo que dejará la superficie algo rizada, muy buena para depredadores cerca de costa.

Mareas: en la ría de A Coruña y Rías Baixas toca **bajamar de madrugada** y **pleamar a media mañana**, con un segundo ciclo de subida a últimas horas de la tarde. No es un coeficiente extremo, pero hay movimiento suficiente: las dos últimas horas de subida y la primera de bajada están siendo las mejores ventanas de actividad.

Salidas y puestas: salida de sol poco antes de las 7 y puesta sobre las 22 horas locales. Las **primeras luces** y el **atardecer** están marcando claramente la diferencia; a pleno sol el pescado se arrima menos a la orilla, sobre todo con el agua clara que estamos teniendo estos días.

En cuanto a capturas recientes, los comentarios de los clubes locales y pantalanes de la ría de Vigo y Arousa coinciden:

- Muy buena semana de **lubina** en pedreros y bocanas de ría, con peces entre 1 y 3 kg y alguna pieza mayor.

- **Sargos** y **pintos** saliendo bien desde costa en zonas de roca y espuma.

- En fondos mixtos de ría se están tocando **doradas** medianas y **herreras** al surfcasting.

- Para embarcación ligera, siguen apareciendo **caballas** y algún **jurel** de buen tamaño, y empiezan a verse más **chicharros** al caer la tarde bajo luces de puerto.

Mejor señal de actividad: mareas vivas de hace unos días dejaron el pescado muy activo, y aunque ha bajado algo el coeficiente, sigue habiendo picadas constantes si se clava bien la hora.

Lances y aparejos recomendados:

- Para **lubina** desde costa: paseantes hundidos y minnows estilizados en colores naturales (anchoveta, xarda) para primeras luces; cuando el sol sube, mejor vinilos plomados de 15–30 g, montados en cabeza tipo dart para trabajar en espuma pegado a la piedra.

- Para **sargo, pinto y maragota**: cebo natural manda. Cangrejo, mejillón bien ligado, quisquilla o ermitaño. Bajos finos pero no extremos, 0,26–0,30, plomos corridos en 60–90 g según mar.

- Para **dorada** en playa y ría: americano, tita y cangrejo pequeño funcionan de lujo. Montajes de dos anzuelos, gametas largas y plomos de agarre si hay deriva.

- Para **caballa y jurel** desde embarcación: metralletas de pluma blanca o verde y pequeños jigs metálicos de 20–40 g, trabajados en medias aguas. Desde puerto, sabiki fino y trocitos de sardina al caer la tarde.

Un par de **hot spots** a tener muy en cuenta ahora mismo:

- **Zona de Cabo Home – Costa da Vela (Pontevedra)**: agua batida, canales entre rocas y caídas a fondo. Muy buenas lubinas al amanecer y al anochecer, tanto a spinning como a fondo con cebo vivo.

- **Bocana de la ría de Vigo y entorno de las Cíes**: para quien salga en embarcación, bajos alrededor de las islas con gran actividad de caballa, jurel y alguna lubina cazando bancos. Con vinilos y jigs ligeros se disfruta mucho.

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Atlantic Spain coastal fishing report, from Galicia down to the Portuguese border and along the Cantabrian stretch.

Along the Galician Rías Baixas and Costa da Morte, the Atlantic’s been rolling in a moderate swell with a light to fresh northwest breeze. Skies have been a mix of sun and high cloud, with cooler mornings and a mild bump in the afternoon. Sunrise is around twenty past six local time and sunset close to ten in the evening, giving you long, fishy light at both ends of the day. Nights are cool enough that a light jacket on the pier still feels right.

Tides along the Galician coast are running in the 3–3.5 meter range, with morning lows and late afternoon highs. Those pushing the last two hours of the flood and the first of the ebb around rocky points and harbor mouths are seeing the best bites. On the Cantabrian side, from Bilbao to Santander, ranges are a touch smaller, but the same rule holds: moving water is making the difference.

Fish activity has picked up with the stable northwest pattern. Around the Rías, shore anglers are finding decent numbers of **sea bass** and **sargos (white seabream)** off the rocks and harbor walls, especially on the flood pushing into the mouths of the rías. Night sessions have produced some better bass, with a few fish nudging the 3-kilo mark reported by local tackle shops in Vigo and A Coruña. In the sandy bays, **flatfish** and the odd **turbot** are taking baits just beyond the first breaker when the water stays a bit colored.

Further east along the Cantabrian, anglers in ports like Gijón and Santander have been picking up mixed bags: **mackerel**, **horse mackerel (chicharro)**, and smaller **bonito** on light metals and sabiki rigs in the evening. Local charter skippers off the Galician shelf have been talking about **bluefish** and the first consistent **little tunny** showing in better numbers when the offshore wind lays down and the bait pushes in tight.

Best lures right now for bass on the Galician rocks are slim **surface walkers** and **sub-surface minnows** in natural sardine and anchovy patterns. When the sea’s up and a bit milky, switch to white or chartreuse soft plastics on 10–20 gram jig heads, worked slowly along the edges of the white water. Around the harbors, small **metal jigs** in 15–30 grams are doing the job on mackerel and chicharro; jig them fast through mid-water and be ready for doubles when the shoals move in.

For bait, locals are still trusting the classics: **ragworm**, **sea worms**, **navaja (razor clam)**, and **cangrejo** for the rocks, with strips of **sardina** or **calamar** for bass and larger predators. On sandy beaches, long casts with lugworm or razor clam on pulley or long-trace rigs are tempting flatfish and the occasional better bass at first light. Nighttime bait soakers are quietly banking nice mixed bags while most folks are home watching TV.

A couple of hotspots to keep an eye on:

- **Ría de Arousa, outer points and islands**: Work the flooding tide around rocky points and current lines with minnows and soft plastics for bass and sargos. When the wind and tide line up, this stretch can switch on fast.

- **Costa da Morte headlands near Muxía and Fisterra**: Classic Galician rock fishing. Time your session for a dropping swell and a rising tide, and fish the foamy pockets with heavier gear and robust plugs. This area still produces some of the better shore bass when the bait stacks in.

Up the coast, **Santander’s breakwaters and nearby playas** are a solid bet this week for light-tackle fun: mackerel, chicharro, and the odd bonito at dawn and dusk on metals and small hardbaits.

Keep an eye on the wind each day; if it swings stronger onshore and dirties the water, lean into brighter lures and scented soft plastics. On clearer, calmer evenings, scale down to more subtle patterns and lighter leaders.

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Atlantic Spain coastal report, from Galicia down towards Cádiz.

Along the northwest corner, from A Coruña to the Rías Baixas, a modest swell and light onshore breeze have been rolling in through the afternoon and evening. Skies have been partly cloudy with stable barometer and comfortable temps in the high teens to low 20s Celsius. Farther south toward the Costa de la Luz, around Huelva and Cádiz, winds have stayed mostly from the northwest, easing toward dusk, with a soft chop and warm, humid air.

Tides on the Atlantic side are running a medium range. Around the Galician rías, the low has been sitting mid‑afternoon, with a solid flood pushing in late day and into the night. Down by Cádiz and the mouth of the Guadalquivir, the evening incoming tide has been lining up nicely with that last light, giving a strong couple of hours right around dusk and first dark. Sunrise is coming early, just after six in the morning, with sunset pushing past nine in the evening, so you’ve got long crepuscular windows to play with.

Fish activity has been classic early‑summer Atlantic. On the rocky points and outer beaches of Galicia, sea bass have been cruising the white water at first light and again just before dark. The surf isn’t huge, but there’s enough foam and suspended bait to bring them tight to structure. Anglers have been reporting steady catches of **lubina** in the 1–3 kilo range, with a few better fish for those working isolated rocks and channels.

In the rías and estuaries, schoolie bass and the odd meagre have been harassing shoals of sardine and anchovy, especially on the first push of the flood. Small Atlantic bonito and chub mackerel have been popping up off the headlands and deeper points, giving some quick action on light spinning gear when they herd bait to the surface. Around sandy stretches closer to the Portuguese border, there’ve been decent runs of gilt‑head bream and so‑so showings of surfcasting bream and small flatfish on the evening tides.

Lure choice has been fairly consistent. For bass on the north and northwest coast, work **surface walkers** and **pencil poppers** in natural baitfish colors at first light, then switch to **slim minnows** and **shallow‑running hardbaits** once the light lifts. On choppy days or when the water’s a bit colored, soft plastics on 10–20 gram jig heads in white, sand eel, or olive patterns have been deadly, especially when bounced along channels between rocks or along the drop off at the edge of the bar.

In clearer, calmer pockets, unweighted soft jerkbaits and subtle topwater slides have outfished noisy plugs. Down south toward Cádiz, metal jigs and small casting spoons worked fast have been taking mackerel, bonito, and the odd bluefish from piers and rocky ledges, while scented soft baits and small crustacean imitations are picking up bream around reefy patches and harbor walls. If you’re soaking bait, fresh sardine strips, razor clam, and American‑style worm baits have been the more consistent producers, especially in the evening.

Two spots worth a serious look right now:

– **Costa da Morte, between Malpica and Cabo Roncudo**: classic Galician rock fishing. On an evening rising tide with a bit of swell, work long‑casting surface lures and sinking minnows tight to the foam lines; that’s where the better bass have been ambushing bait.

– **Mouth of the Guadalquivir and outer beaches near Sanlúcar de Barrameda**: hit the last of the ebb and the first of the flood into dusk. Jigging small metals around the deeper channels has turned up mixed mackerel and bonito, while surfcasters soaking clam and sardine on the banks are finding bream and the occasional decent bass nosing up with the new water.

If you can line up an early‑morning high or a sunset flood, keep your lures in that moving, slightly stirred water and stay mobile until you find the bait. The fish have been there; you just need to meet them halfway.

As **Artificial Lure**, here’s your local-style fishing report for the **Spain Atlantic Coast**: the tide is the first thing I’d watch this morning, because the best action has been lining up around the moving water, especially the last of the flood and the first of the ebb. Without live station data in hand, the safest call is to fish the tide change and the two hours on either side, when bait gets pushed and predators get active.

The weather along the Atlantic side of Spain has been typical early-summer coastal weather: warm air, bright spells, and a cooling sea breeze as the day builds. For planning, expect early light to be your cleanest window, with sunrise around **dawn** and sunset in the **late evening** for mid-June, giving you a long daylight bite window. Cloud cover and wind direction matter a lot here—an onshore breeze can rough up the surface, but it often improves the hunt by stirring bait.

Recent fish activity has been best in the surf, estuaries, and rocky points. The usual suspects have been showing: **sea bass**, **bluefish**, **mackerel**, **horse mackerel**, and, on the bottom, **gilt-head bream** and **grey mullet** in mixed water. When the bait is thick, bass have been chasing hard near river mouths and harbor edges, while mackerel and horse mackerel are taking fast-moving offerings over sand and current seams.

For lures, I’d keep it simple and match the hatch. A **slender metal jig** or **casting spoon** has been a strong choice for mackerel and bluefish, especially when fish are feeding up high. For bass, a **soft plastic paddle tail** on a weighted jig head, or a **small minnow plug** worked just under the surface, is the ticket around wash, rips, and shadow lines. If the water is clear and calm, go subtle; if it’s colored up from wind or tide, upsize a touch and fish with more flash.

Best bait right now is **live baitfish**, **ragworm**, and **squid strips**. In the estuaries and calmer bays, ragworm is hard to beat for bream and mullet, while squid and cut bait do well when bass are roaming the edges. If you can get fresh local bait, use it—fresh beats fancy almost every time.

A couple of hot spots I’d keep on the map:

**river mouths and estuary mouths** where fresh and salt water mix, and **rocky headlands with current breaks** where bait gets pinned against the stone. Also worth checking **harbor outer walls** and **surf-beaten beaches with nearby sand channels**, especially on the moving tide.

If you’re heading out, fish the edges, work your lure a little slower than you think, and pay attention to birds, bait flicks, and nervous water. That’s where the fish will tell on themselves.

Buenas noches, gente del mar, aquí vuestro colega **Artificial Lure**, con el parte de pesca para la costa atlántica de España: Galicia, rías y franjas abiertas hacia Portugal.

Hoy el Atlántico viene con marea viva moderada: pleamares fuertes al amanecer y al anochecer, y bajamar bien marcada a media mañana y primera hora de la tarde. Eso significa corrientes alegres en bocanas de ría, puntas y pedreros, justo lo que buscamos para lubina y robalo. El cielo se mantiene fresco, con nubes y claros, viento del noroeste suave a moderado y mar de fondo corto, algo rizado pero pescable desde costa. Temperaturas templadas, perfectas para echar horas sin asarse en la roca.

El sol se levanta temprano por el nordeste y se esconde tarde por el noroeste, así que tenemos dos ventanas clave: la primera hora de luz, con la marea subiendo, y las dos últimas horas de día, cuando el mar se aploma un poco y los depredadores se arriman a la orilla. Entre medias, mejor centrarse en fondos algo más marcados, canales y veriles.

La actividad de peces estos días está animada: lubinas medianas y alguna buena pieza rondando la kilo y medio–dos en rompientes y entradas de ría; sargos y maragotas respondiendo bien en cantiles de piedra; fanecas y pintos a poco fondo; y más hacia afuera, barcos costeros comentan bonitos y caballas moviéndose en bolas, con chovas dando guerra donde hay carnada. También se están viendo algunos abadejos y xurelos (jureles) en los bajos más profundos al caer la tarde.

En cuanto a capturas recientes por la zona, se están sacando:

- Lubinas: buenos cupos desde costa con señuelos en espuma.

- Sargos: tamaños curiosos a cebo natural en la rompiente.

- Jureles y caballas: abundantes desde escolleras y puertos al anochecer.

- Algún bonito costero para quien pueda alejarse un poco con embarcación.

Llevad en la caja los clásicos: para spinning a lubina, minnows flotantes de 12–15 cm en colores blanco, sardina o ayu; paseantes de superficie para las horas de calma y vinilos plomados tipo shad en 20–30 g para trabajar los canales y pozas. Para las caballas, jureles y chovas, jigs metálicos de 20–40 g y pequeños casting jigs en tonos azul y rosa funcionan de lujo.

En cebo natural, lo que manda aquí: lombriz de arena, coreana, bígaro, navaja y sardina en filete para los sargos y maragotas. Para la lubina a corcho o surfcasting, cangrejo blando, gusana y trocitos de caballa o sardina bien frescos. Quien busque lenguado en playas más resguardadas, gusana y tira de choco a primera y última luz.

Un par de puntos calientes para estos días:

- **Costa da Morte – zona de Malpica y alrededores de las Sisargas**: pedreros con buena espuma en pleamar, perfectos para lubina al amanecer con minnows y vinilos, y sargos buenos al cebo en las caídas de agua.

- **Ría de Vigo – bocana y alrededores de las Cíes**: desde costa, escolleras exteriores y puntas batidas están dando lubinas y xurelos al atardecer; desde embarcación ligera, buenos jureles y caballas con jigs y sabikis, y alguna lubina gorda trabajando bajos sumergidos.

Ojo siempre al mar: aquí el Atlántico no perdona, y una serie más larga puede pillarnos mal colocados. Chaleco, distancia al borde y, si vais solos, siempre alguien que sepa dónde estáis.

This is Artificial Lure with your Atlantic Spain coastal fishing report, from Galicia down toward Cádiz.

On the Galician Rías, a weak post‑spring tide has meant **moderate current**: low tide early morning, high mid‑afternoon, then another ebb into the late evening. That softer movement has suited finesse work inside the rías and pushed the stronger bite into the first hours of the flood. Local harbor bulletins along A Coruña and Vigo reported small chop, with a light to moderate northwest breeze and a lingering long‑period swell from the Atlantic. Skies have been partly cloudy, with a cool, damp feel at dawn and a clearer, brighter window by late morning. Along most of the north‑west coast, sunrise was just after 6:30 and sunset around 10 in the evening, giving a long crepuscular period that’s been very productive.

Water temps along the open coast are sitting in the mid‑teens Celsius, slightly warmer in the sheltered rías. That has **sea bass**, **mackerel**, and **horse mackerel** active around bait balls, with **gilthead bream** and **megrims** showing for those fishing deeper or from boats. Inshore, the bass bite has picked up during the last couple of days around rock points and harbor walls, especially where the current wraps around structure. Anglers working the outer faces of breakwaters near A Coruña and Ferrol have reported steady numbers of schoolie bass with a few better fish mixed in, plus pockets of mackerel when the birds start diving.

For **lures**, the locals are leaning on slim **topwater pencils** and **walking plugs** at first light over shallow reefs, then shifting to **white or olive soft‑plastic shads** on 10–20 gram jig heads once the sun is up and the water gets clearer. Natural baitfish colors are working best in the clearer pockets; in the occasional swell‑stirred murk, chartreuse or bone has been the ticket. Around harbors and marinas, small **metal jigs** and **casting spoons** are still a sure bet for mackerel and horse mackerel when they push tight to the wall.

Bait anglers are doing well with **ragworm, sardine strips, and American‑style worms** for bream and smaller bottom species. A simple running ledger with a fluorocarbon trace is getting more bites than heavy surf rigs right now, especially in the rías where the current is not too strong. Night fishermen soaking **squid strips** off the beaches near Cádiz have been picking at rays and the odd better bass, particularly on the first push of the incoming tide.

Two **hot spots** to keep in mind:

1. The rocky points outside **Ría de Vigo**, especially near the outer islands and main headlands. Work topwaters and shallow divers at dawn on the flooding tide for bass. When the sun climbs, switch to soft plastics bumped along the bottom edges.

2. The surf and mixed ground around **Barbate and Zahara de los Atunes** down in Cádiz province. Here, evening and night sessions with long‑casting metal lures or bait rigs baited with sardine or squid are finding roaming bass and some heavier fish when the swell and wind line up.

If you head out, time your sessions around the start of the flood and the last of the ebb, keep an eye on that northwest breeze, and adjust lure weight to stay just in touch with the bottom without snagging on the rocks.
