11.338-acre Cap Singol-Eforie Nord Romania coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited Romanian hydrographic and Black Sea survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Romanian WFD named Black Sea coastal or transitional assessment water in Constanta and Southern Romanian Coast. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Conservation notice: the section intersects a Natura 2000 Special Protection Area (site type A). The designation is not represented as a blanket fishing ban; anglers must still check current site-management, species, seasonal and national fishing rules. 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 97 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 11,338 acres wrapped in 40.3 miles of bank. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.7) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 17% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 9 mi, about 4.6 mi across. If the bite dies, Burgas Bay Bigger Than 30M - North West is 116 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.

Start shallow in spring: thornback ray sit in 15 to 60 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 65 ft; cold water stacks them in 29 to 97 ft. Top water on the chart: Feeding flat, a feeding flat in the 22 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
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 60 ft | dusk | Feeding flat (22 ft) | |
| Summer | 10 to 65 ft | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (22 ft) | |
| Fall | 15 to 75 ft | dusk | Feeding flat (22 ft) | |
| Winter | 29 to 97 ft chart-limited; documented 30 to 100 ft | midday | Deepest basin (95 ft) |
When the water first warms, whiting slide up into 15 to 55 ft. By summer they slide out to 20 to 70 ft, and by winter most fish are in 15 to 70 ft. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a small vertical jig rigged through the warm months.
| 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 |
In spring, european flounder run shallow here, mostly 5 to 25 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 35 ft, and winter fish settle into 15 to 50 ft. Feeding flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 22 ft, rated prime for spring european flounder. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bottom jig with spinner blade most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Feeding flat (22 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (22 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | Sharp break (14 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | Sharp break (50 ft) | Small bottom jig |
In spring, atlantic mackerel run shallow here, mostly 5 to 45 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 15 to 80 ft, and winter fish settle into 24 to 97 ft. Deepest basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 95 ft, rated prime for winter atlantic mackerel. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a feather rig or a small vertical jig most summer days.
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 | 5 to 45 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (34 ft) | Mackerel feather rig, Small silver jig |

Spring garfish on Cap Singol-Eforie Nord hold shallow, usually 1 to 15 ft. They move out to 2 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 60 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 14 ft that grades good for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly.
| 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 |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (14 ft) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | Sharp break (50 ft) |
Cap Singol-Eforie Nord also holds european eel (6 to 28 ft in summer), zander (15 to 35 ft in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
12 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deepest basin, around 95 ft, is the deepest of them.
Romanian Naval Authority 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 Romania waters are set by the Romanian National Agency for Fisheries and Aquaculture — and special regulations can apply to Cap Singol-Eforie Nord specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Romania's current recreational-fishing permit rules, annual prohibition order, Danube Delta requirements, Black Sea and EU measures, protected species, minimum sizes and gear limits before every trip. The Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, Natura 2000 areas, nationally protected zones, ports and Romanian Naval Authority directions can each add permits, closures or access controls. A WFD polygon, source-audited contour, fishing spot or port reference never grants fishing, retention, shore entry, parking, launching or safe-navigation permission.

Cap Singol-Eforie Nord is about 97 ft (30 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 Romania national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the thornback ray, whiting, european flounder, atlantic mackerel, atlantic bonito, garfish, european eel, zander roster for Cap Singol-Eforie Nord. 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.
Feeding flat is the top-rated area: a feeding flat in about 22 ft of water that rates prime for thornback ray in spring. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For thornback ray, 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 Singol-Eforie Nord is regulated by the Romanian National Agency for Fisheries and Aquaculture. Check the official Romania regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
