Fishing at Mar Azul

Sand and Fishing On these shores, the sea features a characteristic easily identified: there are no sand banks like the ones seen from San Clemente to Villa Gesell. In those typical fishing spots, anglers must cast behing the wave breaking point so that the line does not get stuck at any of the many banks. If successfully managed, the point known as “low-tide terrace” is reached. At Mar Azul, on the other hand, only a small breaking point and a large low-tide terrace in the shape of a pot may be seen. This is definitely a different kind of sea.

Fishing guides usually offer to provide their services during boat outings, which guarantee pieces of high sport value, as the possibilities to catch larger and more specimens increase. Early in the morning, at around 10, fishermen come close to the shore to sell fresh fish. Each customer chooses a piece that has just been caught. This is part of the common sense of all visitors to Mar Azul. The evening is for many anglers the ideal time to fish, as most fish feed at this time and abandon the mistrust they get from swimmers during the day to approach the seaside. Bearing kerosene or halogen lamps, these fans illuminate the beaches until dawn. If they get lucky, unlike everyone else, they will enjoy sweet dreams during the first few hours of the brand-new day.
