26,569-acre Costa Oeste Asturias. Sector 05 Spain coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited Spanish hydrographic and research-survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Spanish WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in Cantabrian Coast. 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 314 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, Costa Oeste Asturias - Sector 05 runs 26,576 acres with 33.6 miles of edge. Index 1.5 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 4% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 10.3 mi end to end and 6.4 mi across at its widest. The nearest mapped water is Costa Oeste Asturias - Sector 04, 11 mi to the west.
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.

Spring puts european seabass in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 55 ft. Shoreline point is the standout, a point at roughly 14 ft, rated good for fall european seabass. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (14 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (14 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (14 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Spring gilthead seabream on Costa Oeste Asturias - Sector 05 hold shallow, usually 3 to 35 ft. They move out to 2 to 45 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 100 ft. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

Spring atlantic mackerel on Costa Oeste Asturias - Sector 05 hold shallow, usually 5 to 45 ft. They move out to 15 to 80 ft in summer and finish the year down in 30 to 120 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 79 ft that grades good for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a feather rig or a small vertical jig.

Start shallow in spring: garfish sit in 1 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 60 ft. Top water on the chart: Shoreline point, a point in the 14 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly until the fish tell you otherwise.

MITECO 2025 national bathing-water census and coastal-domain 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 Spain waters are set by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing) — and special regulations can apply to Costa Oeste Asturias - Sector 05 specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Spain's live national, autonomous-community, EU and protected-area rules before every coastal trip. Licences for shore, boat and underwater fishing, PescaREC registration or reporting, protected-species authorizations, minimum sizes, quotas, closures, gear limits and marine-reserve permits can differ between exterior and interior waters and can change during the season. Recreational fishing is allowed only in specified zones of some reserves and is commonly subject to a special authorization. A WFD boundary, source-audited contour, fishing-spot marker or bathing-water record is planning context only and never grants fishing, retention, shore entry, parking, launching, port access or safe navigation permission.

Costa Oeste Asturias - Sector 05 is about 314 ft (96 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 Spain national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european seabass, gilthead seabream, meagre, atlantic mackerel, atlantic bonito, garfish, common sole, thick-lipped grey mullet roster for Costa Oeste Asturias - Sector 05. 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 14 ft of water that rates prime for garfish in spring. 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 Costa Oeste Asturias - Sector 05 is regulated by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing).
