20 036-acre Burgas Bay Bigger Than 30M. Central Bulgaria coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 official IO-BAS Bulgarian south-shore DTM with traceable CDI surveys contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Bulgarian WFD named Black Sea coastal or transitional assessment water in Southern Bulgarian Black Sea. 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 133 ft. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit official hydrographic-chart depth models, so the contours are chart-derived rather than computer-modeled; no directly measured sounding coverage is claimed. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Burgas Bay Bigger Than 30M - Central maps at 20,037 acres behind 25.1 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 1% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 9.4 mi, about 4.4 mi across. If the bite dies, Burgas Bay Bigger Than 30M - Central West is 5 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.

In spring, thornback ray run shallow here, mostly 15 to 60 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 65 ft before dropping to 30 to 100 ft for winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 60 ft | dusk | open water | |
| Summer | 10 to 65 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | |
| Fall | 15 to 75 ft | dusk | open water | |
| Winter | 30 to 100 ft | midday | open water |
Early season whiting use the shallows, holding in 15 to 55 ft. Expect a summer slide to 20 to 70 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 70 ft. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a small vertical jig and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 55 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small silver jig, Two-hook feather rig |
| Summer | 20 to 70 ft | dawn | open water | Small vertical jig |
| Fall | 10 to 60 ft | dusk | open water | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
| Winter | 15 to 70 ft | dusk | open water | Compact vertical jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european flounder in 5 to 25 ft. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 35 ft, wintering in 15 to 50 ft. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bottom jig with spinner blade gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | open water | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | open water | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | open water | Small bottom jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic mackerel in 5 to 45 ft. As the season builds they drop to 15 to 80 ft, wintering in 30 to 120 ft. Top water on the chart: Deepest basin, a deep basin in the 133 ft range, good in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a feather rig or a small vertical jig gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 45 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Mackerel feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Summer | 15 to 80 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Feather rig, Small vertical jig |

Spring atlantic bonito on Burgas Bay Bigger Than 30M - Central hold shallow, usually 15 to 100 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 5 to 90 ft in summer, 30 to 133 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deepest basin — deep basin, 133 ft, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 100 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (120 ft) | see map |
| Summer | 5 to 90 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | see map |
| Fall | 8 to 120 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (120 ft) | see map |
| Winter | 30 to 133 ft chart-limited; documented 50 to 220 ft | midday | Deepest basin (133 ft) | see map |
When the water first warms, garfish slide up into 1 to 15 ft. Summer is a 2 to 20 ft game here, winter a 20 to 60 ft one. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & midday | open water | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |

Bulgarian Maritime Administration 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 Bulgaria waters are set by the Bulgarian Executive Agency for Fisheries and Aquaculture — and special regulations can apply to Burgas Bay Bigger Than 30M - Central specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Bulgaria's current fisheries ticket requirements, Black Sea and inland transitional-water rules, national and EU seasonal measures, protected species, minimum sizes, gear limits and current IARA orders before every trip. Natura 2000 and nationally protected zones, river mouths, ports, bathing areas and Maritime Administration directions can impose separate controls. A WFD polygon, source-audited contour, fishing spot or port reference never grants fishing, retention, shoreline entry, parking, launching or safe-navigation permission.
