5516-acre Cap De Enderrocat A Cala Major 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 Balearic Islands. 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 87 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 5,516 acres, worked by 17 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 20% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. End to end it runs roughly 5.5 mi, about 3.5 mi across. If the bite dies, Cabrera I Sud De Mallorca - Sector 02 is 4 mi to the southwest.
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.

Come spring, look for european seabass tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. They move out to 2 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 10 to 55 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline point: a point around 6 ft that scores good in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (6 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (6 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (6 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Start shallow in spring: gilthead seabream sit in 3 to 35 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 45 ft; cold water stacks them in 17 to 87 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Spring common dentex on Cap De Enderrocat A Cala Major hold shallow, usually 13 to 87 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 15 to 87 ft in summer, 20 to 87 ft once it turns cold. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 52 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

Start shallow in spring: red mullet sit in 5 to 55 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 4 to 70 ft, and winter fish settle into 19 to 87 ft. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 52 ft of water that rates good for red mullet in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Early season atlantic bonito use the shallows, holding in 13 to 87 ft. Even in summer they hold at 5 to 87 ft; winter keeps them in 20 to 87 ft. The chart's best answer is Shoreline point — point, 6 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

When the water first warms, bluefish slide up into 3 to 20 ft. Summer is a 5 to 30 ft game here, winter a 15 to 40 ft one. Start at Shoreline point. It's a point holding about 6 ft of water and rates good come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a popper (early/late) or a metal jigs in the rips rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (6 ft) | Metal (Hopkins/Kastmaster), Pencil popper |
| Summer | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Popper (early/late), Metal jigs in the rips |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & midday | Shoreline point (6 ft) | Pencil popper, Big metal |
| Winter | 15 to 40 ft | midday | open water | Metal jig worked slow (southern waters) |

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 Cap De Enderrocat A Cala Major 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.

Cap De Enderrocat A Cala Major is about 87 ft (27 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 Cap De Enderrocat A Cala Major. 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 52 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. 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 Cap De Enderrocat A Cala Major is regulated by the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (marine recreational fishing).
