Where else to target Annular seabream

Breakwater Escullera de Barcelona (Port Vell) Long port breakwater with deep water close in. Conger and scorpionfish after dark; sargo tight to the blocks. Breakwater Port Olímpic Lit harbour walls — squid and cuttlefish on autumn and spring nights, mullet inside the basin. Breakwater Espigó de Bac de Roda Accessible groyne with rough ground on both sides — light rockfishing and float work. Rocks Parc del Fòrum / Zona de Banys Concrete and rock edges over deeper water. Reliable for sargo, oblada and evening bass. Breakwater Port del Masnou Marina walls and adjacent beach; a good all-weather option when the south is blown out. Rocks Garraf Rocky coast south of the city — the nearest genuine rockfishing. Take care on a swell.
