8.496-acre Ανατ. Ακτες Ροδου. Sector 04 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. Conservation notice: the section intersects a Natura 2000 Special Protection Area (site type A). The designation is not represented as a blanket fishing ban; anglers must still check current site-management, species, seasonal and national fishing rules. 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 2506 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
On the chart, Ανατ. Ακτες Ροδου - Sector 04 draws 8,495 acres inside 29 miles of shoreline. The 2.2 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 2% of this chart. The basin spans about 10.7 mi end to end and 2 mi across at its widest. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Ανατ. Ακτες Ροδου - Sector 01, 23 mi north of here.
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.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european seabass in 3 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 30 ft before dropping to 10 to 55 ft for winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic gets it done.
| 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 | open water | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
When the water first warms, gilthead seabream slide up into 3 to 35 ft. Summer is a 2 to 45 ft game here, winter a 20 to 100 ft one. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: common dentex in 20 to 130 ft. As the season builds they drop to 30 to 180 ft, wintering in 60 to 260 ft. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 232 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening.

Early season red mullet use the shallows, holding in 5 to 55 ft. Summer is a 4 to 70 ft game here, winter a 30 to 140 ft one. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Start shallow in spring: atlantic bonito sit in 15 to 100 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 90 ft covers summer, 50 to 220 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 232 ft of water that rates good for atlantic bonito in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Early season greater amberjack use the shallows, holding in 30 to 180 ft. Expect a summer slide to 20 to 220 ft, then a winter hold in 70 to 300 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 232 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

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 04 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 04 is about 2506 ft (764 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, gilthead seabream, common dentex, red mullet, atlantic bonito, greater amberjack, bluefish, common sole roster for Ανατ. Ακτες Ροδου - Sector 04. 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 232 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in winter. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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 04 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.
