2743-acre Límite Cv - Sierra De Irta. North West 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 Spanish Mediterranean 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 48 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 season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 2,743 acres wrapped in 10.5 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 31% of this chart. The basin spans about 4 mi end to end and 2.2 mi across at its widest. Sierra De Irta - Cabo De Oropesa - South sits 28 mi southwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
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 european seabass on Límite Cv - Sierra De Irta - North West hold shallow, usually 3 to 25 ft. They move out to 2 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 9 to 48 ft. Put Shoreline point first on the milk run — a point near 9 ft that grades good for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (9 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (9 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (9 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 9 to 48 ft | midday | Deepest basin (47 ft) | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Spring puts gilthead seabream in skinny water — 3 to 35 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 45 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 48 ft. Deepest basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 47 ft, rated prime for winter gilthead seabream. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Come spring, look for common dentex tight to the bank in 7 to 48 ft. Through summer count on 8 to 48 ft; the winter hold is 11 to 48 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deepest basin: a deep basin around 47 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

In spring, red mullet run shallow here, mostly 4 to 48 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 48 ft, and they winter in 10 to 48 ft. Deepest basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 47 ft, rated prime for winter red mullet. Time it for early morning and the evening.

When the water first warms, atlantic bonito slide up into 7 to 48 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 3 to 48 ft, winter 11 to 48 ft. Start at Deepest basin. It's a deep basin holding about 47 ft of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

Early season bluefish use the shallows, holding in 3 to 20 ft. Summer is a 5 to 30 ft game here, winter a 15 to 40 ft one. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 3 ft, good for fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a popper (early/late) or a metal jigs in the rips and you're in the game.

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 Límite Cv - Sierra De Irta - North West 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.

Límite Cv - Sierra De Irta - North West is about 48 ft (15 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, common dentex, red mullet, atlantic bonito, bluefish, greater amberjack, common sole roster for Límite Cv - Sierra De Irta - North 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.
Deepest basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 47 ft of water that rates prime for gilthead seabream in winter. 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.
