10.790-acre Da Caletta Sant-Elia Santa Flavia A Foce San Leonardo 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 Ionian and Southern Italy. 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 239 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.
Traced from the shoreline, Da Caletta Sant-Elia Santa Flavia A Foce San Leonardo runs 10,790 acres with 26.8 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 13% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Tip to tip the water measures near 10.7 mi with a 3.2-mi widest point. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Da Foce Eleuterio Bagheria A Baia Sirena Bagheria, 8 mi northwest of here.
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: european seabass sit in 3 to 25 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 55 ft. Top water on the chart: Shoreline point, a point in the 13 ft range, good in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (13 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (13 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (13 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Come spring, look for gilthead seabream tight to the bank in 3 to 35 ft. They move out to 2 to 45 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 100 ft. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

Start shallow in spring: common dentex sit in 20 to 130 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 30 to 180 ft, and winter fish settle into 55 to 239 ft. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 71 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around 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.

Spring red mullet on Da Caletta Sant-Elia Santa Flavia A Foce San Leonardo hold shallow, usually 5 to 55 ft. They move out to 4 to 70 ft in summer and finish the year down in 30 to 140 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 15 ft that grades good for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic bonito in 15 to 100 ft. The depth story barely changes: 5 to 90 ft through summer, 50 to 220 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deepest basin, a deep basin in the 225 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |

| Spring | 15 to 100 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (67 ft) | see map |

Spring greater amberjack on Da Caletta Sant-Elia Santa Flavia A Foce San Leonardo hold shallow, usually 30 to 180 ft.

Prime time lands in 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 Da Caletta Sant-Elia Santa Flavia A Foce San Leonardo 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.

Da Caletta Sant-Elia Santa Flavia A Foce San Leonardo is about 239 ft (73 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 Da Caletta Sant-Elia Santa Flavia A Foce San Leonardo. 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 71 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
