4.045-acre Αργολικος Κολπος. South West 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 Central 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 2025 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Traced from the shoreline, Αργολικος Κολπος - South West runs 4,045 acres with 13.7 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 5% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 4.6 mi long by 2.6 mi wide at the broadest reach. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Αργολικος Κολπος - Central, 8 mi northeast 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. The spot to know is Shoreline point, a point in about 33 ft of water that rates good for european seabass in fall. 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 | Shoreline point (33 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (33 ft) | 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: Shoreline point, a point in the 33 ft range, good in fall. 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 Shoreline point, a point in about 33 ft of water that rates prime for atlantic bonito in summer. 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 Shoreline point first on the milk run — a point near 33 ft that grades good for fall. 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 Αργολικος Κολπος - South West 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.

Αργολικος Κολπος - South West is about 2025 ft (617 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 Αργολικος Κολπος - South West. 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.
Shoreline point is the top-rated area: a point in about 33 ft of water that rates prime for atlantic bonito 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 Αργολικος Κολπος - South West 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.
