4376-acre Capo San Lorenzo Italy coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited Italian 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 Italian WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in Sicily and Sardinia. 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 212 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 4,376 acres, worked by 11.7 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Roughly 9% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 4.1 mi with a 1.9-mi widest point. If the bite dies, Golfo Degli Angeli - Central is 33 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 20 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 (20 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 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 20 to 100 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Spring common dentex on Capo San Lorenzo hold shallow, usually 20 to 130 ft. They move out to 30 to 180 ft in summer and finish the year down in 49 to 212 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 109 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run 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.

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 30 to 140 ft. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 10 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 15 to 100 ft. Even in summer they hold at 5 to 90 ft; winter keeps them in 48 to 212 ft. The chart's best answer is Deepest basin — deep basin, 205 ft, prime for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

In spring, greater amberjack run shallow here, mostly 30 to 180 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 19 to 212 ft, and winter fish settle into 49 to 212 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 109 ft, rated prime for spring greater amberjack. Time it for early morning and the evening.

Italian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport 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 Italy waters are set by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry (marine recreational fishing) — and special regulations can apply to Capo San Lorenzo specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Italy's live MASAF RecFishing registration and catch-reporting requirements, national and EU technical measures, regional ordinances, Coast Guard notices and marine-protected-area rules before every trip. Minimum sizes, daily quantities, tuna and other species reporting, gear restrictions, bathing zones, ports and individually zoned marine reserves can differ by place and season. A WFD polygon, source-audited contour, fishing spot or port listing never grants fishing, retention, shore entry, parking, launching, protected-area authorization or safe-navigation permission.

Capo San Lorenzo is about 212 ft (65 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 Italy national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european seabass, gilthead seabream, common dentex, red mullet, atlantic bonito, greater amberjack, bluefish, common sole roster for Capo San Lorenzo. 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 109 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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 Capo San Lorenzo is regulated by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry (marine recreational fishing). Check the official Italy regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
