264-acre Bahía de Marejada fishing map with NOAA BlueTopo survey contours (100% measured, 100% assessed), source-traceable coastal structure, regional fish-survey occurrence, sourced forage timing and verified public access. The water tops out around 65 ft. The depth chart is built from real agency bathymetry referenced to NAVD88; directly measured coverage remains distinguished from source interpolation. The channels, holes and drop-offs come from the source data, not a distance-from-shore model. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 265 acres of water rimmed by 2.9 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 26% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 1.2 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.5 mi at the beam. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Bahía de Oleaje, 1 mi east of here.
Come spring, look for atlantic tarpon tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 4 to 35 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 35 ft. Start at Surveyed channel edge. It's a drop-off holding about 34 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A heavy paddletail or a swimbait in pass current is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (31 ft) | 4-6 inch paddletail, Suspending baitfish plug |
| Summer | 4 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (34 ft) | Heavy paddletail, Swimbait in pass current |
| Fall | 3 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (31 ft) | Mullet-profile swimbait, Surface plug |
| Winter | 5 to 35 ft | dusk | Surveyed channel edge (34 ft) | Slow-rolled paddletail, Suspending plug |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: jack crevalle in 2 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 3 to 35 ft before dropping to 5 to 35 ft for winter. The spot to know is Surveyed channel edge, a drop-off in about 34 ft of water that rates prime for jack crevalle in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a pencil popper or a casting spoon gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (31 ft) | Surface popper, Metal jig |
| Summer | 3 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (34 ft) | Pencil popper, Casting spoon |
| Fall | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & midday | Surveyed channel edge (31 ft) | Topwater walker, Metal jig |
| Winter | 5 to 35 ft | dusk | Surveyed channel edge (34 ft) | Compact metal jig, Slow-rolled paddletail |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: yellowtail snapper in 8 to 60 ft. As the season builds they drop to 9 to 65 ft, wintering in 10 to 65 ft. Top water on the chart: NOAA charted underwater rock, a rock pile in the 21 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a micro jig or a small paddletail gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 8 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted underwater rock (21 ft) | Small bucktail, Light vertical jig |
| Summer | 9 to 65 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted underwater rock (21 ft) | Micro jig, Small paddletail |
| Fall | 9 to 65 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted underwater rock (21 ft) | Small vertical jig, Baitfish streamer |
| Winter | 10 to 65 ft | dusk | NOAA charted underwater rock (21 ft) | Small jig worked deep, Bucktail |
Spring mutton snapper on Bahía de Marejada hold shallow, usually 8 to 65 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 8 to 65 ft in summer, 11 to 65 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Surveyed channel edge — drop-off, 34 ft, prime for fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a heavy bucktail or a vertical jig.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 8 to 65 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted underwater rock (21 ft) | Bucktail near bottom, Paddletail |
| Summer | 8 to 65 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted underwater rock (21 ft) | Heavy bucktail, Vertical jig |
| Fall | 9 to 65 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (34 ft) | Bucktail + strip, Slow vertical jig |
| Winter | 11 to 65 ft | dusk | NOAA charted underwater rock (21 ft) | Slow jig, Bottom bucktail |
Spring great barracuda on Bahía de Marejada hold shallow, usually 2 to 45 ft. They move out to 3 to 55 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 65 ft. Put NOAA charted underwater rock first on the milk run — a rock pile near 21 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a fast swimbait or a spoon.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 45 ft | dawn & midday | NOAA charted underwater rock (21 ft) | Fast tube lure, Long minnow plug |
| Summer | 3 to 55 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted underwater rock (21 ft) | Fast swimbait, Spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 55 ft | dawn & midday | NOAA charted underwater rock (21 ft) | Mullet-profile plug, Tube lure |
| Winter | 5 to 65 ft | midday & dusk | NOAA charted underwater rock (21 ft) | Long minnow plug, Fast jig |
Early season gray snapper (mangrove snapper) use the shallows, holding in 3 to 22 ft. Expect a summer slide to 4 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 45 ft. Put Surveyed channel edge first on the milk run — a drop-off near 34 ft that grades good for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a small bucktail or a paddletail and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 22 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small paddletail, Jighead + shrimp imitation |
| Summer | 4 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (31 ft) | Small bucktail, Paddletail |
| Fall | 5 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (34 ft) | Small vertical jig, Jighead + paddletail |
| Winter | 8 to 45 ft | midday | Surveyed channel edge (34 ft) | Small jig worked slowly |
