9.965-acre Ανατ. Ακτες Ροδου. Sector 01 Greece coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited Greek hydrographic and HCMR survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Greek WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in Crete and Southern Aegean. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 1389 ft. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Ανατ. Ακτες Ροδου - Sector 01 maps at 9,965 acres behind 30 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (2.1) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 7% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 10.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 3.2 mi at the beam. Its nearest charted neighbour, Ανατ. Ακτες Ροδου - Sector 04, is 23 mi to the south.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

Come spring, look for european seabass tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 55 ft. Start at Shoreline point. It's a point holding about 30 ft of water and rates good come fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (30 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (30 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: meagre in 12 to 80 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 100 ft before dropping to 40 to 180 ft for winter. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 166 ft of water that rates good for meagre in winter. Plan around the evening in the warm months.

Spring common dentex on Ανατ. Ακτες Ροδου - Sector 01 hold shallow, usually 20 to 130 ft. By summer they slide out to 30 to 180 ft, and by winter most fish are in 60 to 260 ft. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 166 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

In spring, dusky grouper run shallow here, mostly 15 to 110 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 12 to 130 ft before dropping to 35 to 190 ft for winter. Fall dusky grouper concentrate at Sharp break, a good-rated drop-off around 166 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Early season atlantic bonito use the shallows, holding in 15 to 100 ft. Even in summer they hold at 5 to 90 ft; winter keeps them in 50 to 220 ft. Put Shoreline point first on the milk run — a point near 30 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

In spring, greater amberjack run shallow here, mostly 30 to 180 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 20 to 220 ft before dropping to 70 to 300 ft for winter. Spring greater amberjack concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 166 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Hellenic Coast Guard official ports review was reviewed, but no stable government record establishes a public fishing entrance, parking or launch for this exact mapped child. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, port and harbour rules, protected areas, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Greece waters are set by the Greek Government fisheries services — and special regulations can apply to Ανατ. Ακτες Ροδου - Sector 01 specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Greece's current national, EU, port and protected-area rules before every coastal trip. Although individual recreational sea-fishing licences were abolished, method restrictions, minimum sizes, daily limits, protected species, seasonal measures, marine parks, fisheries restricted areas, swimming zones and harbour directions still apply. Regional or island-specific controls may change independently. A WFD polygon, source-audited contour, fishing spot or port reference never grants fishing, retention, shoreline entry, parking, launching or safe-navigation permission.

Ανατ. Ακτες Ροδου - Sector 01 is about 1389 ft (423 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Official coastal monitoring from Greece national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european seabass, meagre, common dentex, dusky grouper, atlantic bonito, greater amberjack, bluefish, atlantic mackerel roster for Ανατ. Ακτες Ροδου - Sector 01. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Sharp break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 166 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For european seabass, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Ανατ. Ακτες Ροδου - Sector 01 is regulated by the Greek Government fisheries services. Check the official Greece regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
