6594-acre From The Mouth Of The Misa River To The Port Area Of Ancona. West 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 Italian Adriatic Coast. 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 34 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:
Drawn out, this is 6,594 acres of water rimmed by 22.1 miles of bank. Index 1.9 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. 42% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 9.5 mi long by 1.6 mi wide at the broadest reach. The nearest mapped water is From The Mouth Of The Misa River To The Port Area Of Ancona - East, 8 mi to the southeast.
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.

Spring puts european seabass in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 6 to 34 ft. Shoreline point is the standout, a point at roughly 16 ft, rated good for fall european seabass. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic covers the summer program.
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 | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (16 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |

When the water first warms, meagre slide up into 5 to 34 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 3 to 34 ft, winter 8 to 34 ft. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 15 ft of water and rates good come winter. The feeding windows run the evening.

In spring, common dentex run shallow here, mostly 5 to 34 ft. Summer keeps them at 6 to 34 ft, and they winter in 8 to 34 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 15 ft, rated prime for summer common dentex. Time it for early morning and the evening.

Come spring, look for red mullet tight to the bank in 3 to 34 ft. Through summer count on 2 to 34 ft; the winter hold is 7 to 34 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 15 ft that scores good in summer. 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 From The Mouth Of The Misa River To The Port Area Of Ancona - West 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.

From The Mouth Of The Misa River To The Port Area Of Ancona - West is about 34 ft (10 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, meagre, common dentex, red mullet, atlantic bonito, greater amberjack, bluefish, dusky grouper roster for From The Mouth Of The Misa River To The Port Area Of Ancona - West. 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 15 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.
