9406-acre Mare Flumene 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 Tyrrhenian and Ligurian 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 597 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 is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Mare Flumene maps at 9,406 acres behind 16.1 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. About 9% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 5.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 3.9 mi at the beam. Its nearest charted neighbour, Santa Lucia - Siniscola, is 3 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 european seabass on Mare Flumene hold shallow, usually 3 to 25 ft. By summer they slide out to 2 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 10 to 55 ft. The chart's best answer is Shoreline point — point, 28 ft, good for fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (3 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (3 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (28 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Spring puts gilthead seabream in skinny water — 3 to 35 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 45 ft, wintering in 20 to 100 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.

Come spring, look for common dentex tight to the bank in 20 to 130 ft. Expect a summer slide to 30 to 180 ft, then a winter hold in 60 to 260 ft. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 37 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 20 to 130 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (37 ft) | see map |
| Summer | 30 to 180 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (37 ft) | see map |

| Winter | 60 to 260 ft | midday | Sharp break (228 ft) | see map |
In spring, red mullet run shallow here, mostly 5 to 55 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 4 to 70 ft before dropping to 30 to 140 ft for winter. Summer red mullet concentrate at Sharp break, a good-rated drop-off around 37 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

When the water first warms, atlantic bonito slide up into 15 to 100 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 5 to 90 ft, winter 50 to 220 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline point: a point around 28 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening.

| Spring | 15 to 100 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (28 ft) | see map |

| Fall | 8 to 120 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (37 ft) | see map |

Start shallow in spring: greater amberjack sit in 30 to 180 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 20 to 220 ft; cold water stacks them in 70 to 300 ft. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 37 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Mare Flumene also holds bluefish (5 to 30 ft in summer), common sole (3 to 30 ft in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
Structure-wise the chart holds 7 features, led in depth by Deepest basin at roughly 500 ft.
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 Mare Flumene 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.

Mare Flumene is about 597 ft (182 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 Mare Flumene. 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 37 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.
Fishing on Mare Flumene 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.
