1792-acre Da Foce Eleuterio Bagheria A Baia Sirena Bagheria 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 352 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 drawn water covers 1,792 acres wrapped in 7.3 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Roughly 5% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 2.6 mi with a 2-mi widest point. Da Caletta Sant-Elia Santa Flavia A Foce San Leonardo sits 8 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
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. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 55 ft. Start at Shoreline point. It's a point holding about 17 ft of water and rates good come fall. Prime time lands in 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 (17 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (17 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (17 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. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 45 ft, and winter fish settle into 20 to 100 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Spring common dentex on Da Foce Eleuterio Bagheria A Baia Sirena Bagheria hold shallow, usually 20 to 130 ft. By summer they slide out to 30 to 180 ft, and by winter most fish are in 60 to 260 ft. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 144 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

Start shallow in spring: red mullet sit in 5 to 55 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4 to 70 ft; cold water stacks them in 30 to 140 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

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 50 to 220 ft. Put Shoreline point first on the milk run — a point near 17 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

In spring, greater amberjack run shallow here, mostly 30 to 180 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 20 to 220 ft before dropping to 70 to 300 ft for winter. Spring greater amberjack concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 144 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

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 Foce Eleuterio Bagheria A Baia Sirena Bagheria 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 Foce Eleuterio Bagheria A Baia Sirena Bagheria is about 352 ft (107 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 Foce Eleuterio Bagheria A Baia Sirena Bagheria. 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 144 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each 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.
