6109-acre Da Rometta Marea A San Saba 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. 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 763 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Traced from the shoreline, Da Rometta Marea A San Saba runs 6,109 acres with 15.5 miles of edge. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 9% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 5.9 mi of water from one end to the other, 2.2 mi at the beam. For a second option, Da Capo Milazzo Est A Rometta Marea lies 7 mi 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.

In spring, european seabass run shallow here, mostly 3 to 25 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 55 ft. Shoreline point is the standout, a point at roughly 11 ft, rated good for fall european seabass. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (11 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (11 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (11 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Early season gilthead seabream use the shallows, holding in 3 to 35 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 45 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 100 ft. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

Spring puts common dentex in skinny water — 20 to 130 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 30 to 180 ft; cold water stacks them in 60 to 260 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 130 ft, rated prime for summer common dentex. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

When the water first warms, red mullet slide up into 5 to 55 ft. By summer they slide out to 4 to 70 ft, and by winter most fish are in 30 to 140 ft. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

In spring, atlantic bonito run shallow here, mostly 15 to 100 ft. Summer keeps them at 5 to 90 ft, and they winter in 50 to 220 ft. Summer atlantic bonito concentrate at Shoreline point, a prime-rated point around 11 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Come spring, look for greater amberjack tight to the bank in 30 to 180 ft. They move out to 20 to 220 ft in summer and finish the year down in 70 to 300 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 130 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is 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 Rometta Marea A San Saba 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 Rometta Marea A San Saba is about 763 ft (233 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 Rometta Marea A San Saba. 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 130 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. The interactive chart above rates every 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.
Fishing on Da Rometta Marea A San Saba is regulated by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry (marine recreational fishing).
