Where? Mar del Plata (coast), Buenos Aires
Ambient photo: Seljan Salimova — via Pexels
The most classic shore fishing on the Buenos Aires Atlantic coast: jetties, piers and beaches of Mar del Plata where surfcasting and boat fishing target the croaker (corvina rubia) and the mixed sea catch. Rod on your shoulder facing the ocean.
You fish from shore and on the bottom all year, with the best windows depending on tides and seasons; the croaker is the prized fish, along with other coastal species. The port and the jetties also offer boat trips. Mar del Plata, with all its infrastructure, is the fishing capital of the coast.
