Introduction
Alanya, located on the shores of the Mediterranean, offers excellent fishing opportunities throughout the year. However, some seasons are more productive than others. In this guide, we'll examine the best fishing times for each season.
Spring (March-May)
Active Species
• Sea Bass (Levrek)
• Bluefish (Lüfer)
• Red Mullet (Barbunya)

Why is Spring Ideal?
Spring is an excellent time for fishing in the Mediterranean. As water temperatures rise, fish become more active and approach the shore to feed. The month of May is particularly ideal for Sea Bass.
Recommended Techniques

Summer months are quite hot in Alanya, but early morning and evening tours provide very productive fishing. Fish move to deeper, cooler waters during the day.
