601-acre Puerto Medio Mundo 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 27 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 602 acres, worked by 4.2 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.2) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 64% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 1.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.8 mi at the beam. If the bite dies, Bahía de Puerca is 3 mi to the southeast.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic tarpon in 3 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 3 to 27 ft before dropping to 4 to 27 ft for winter. The spot to know is Surveyed channel edge, a drop-off in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for atlantic tarpon in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a heavy paddletail or a swimbait in pass current gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (15 ft) | 4-6 inch paddletail, Suspending baitfish plug |
| Summer | 3 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (15 ft) | Heavy paddletail, Swimbait in pass current |
| Fall | 3 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (15 ft) | Mullet-profile swimbait, Surface plug |
| Winter | 4 to 27 ft | dusk | Surveyed channel edge (15 ft) | Slow-rolled paddletail, Suspending plug |
Spring jack crevalle on Puerto Medio Mundo hold shallow, usually 2 to 25 ft. They move out to 2 to 27 ft in summer and finish the year down in 4 to 27 ft. Put Surveyed channel edge first on the milk run — a drop-off near 15 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a pencil popper or a casting spoon.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (15 ft) | Surface popper, Metal jig |
| Summer | 2 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (15 ft) | Pencil popper, Casting spoon |
| Fall | 2 to 27 ft | dawn & midday | Surveyed channel edge (15 ft) | Topwater walker, Metal jig |
| Winter | 4 to 27 ft | dusk | Surveyed channel edge (15 ft) | Compact metal jig, Slow-rolled paddletail |
Come spring, look for yellowtail snapper tight to the bank in 4 to 27 ft. Through summer count on 4 to 27 ft; the winter hold is 4 to 27 ft. If you only fish one area, make it NOAA charted hard seabed: a hard bottom around 13 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A micro jig or a small paddletail is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Small bucktail, Light vertical jig |
| Summer | 4 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Micro jig, Small paddletail |
| Fall | 4 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Small vertical jig, Baitfish streamer |
| Winter | 4 to 27 ft | dusk | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Small jig worked deep, Bucktail |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: mutton snapper in 3 to 27 ft. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 27 ft through summer, 5 to 27 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: NOAA charted hard seabed, a hard bottom in the 13 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a heavy bucktail or a vertical jig gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Bucktail near bottom, Paddletail |
| Summer | 3 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Heavy bucktail, Vertical jig |
| Fall | 4 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Bucktail + strip, Slow vertical jig |
| Winter | 5 to 27 ft | dusk | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Slow jig, Bottom bucktail |
Spring puts great barracuda in skinny water — 1 to 27 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 27 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 27 ft. Winter great barracuda concentrate at NOAA charted hard seabed, a prime-rated hard bottom around 13 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A fast swimbait or a spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 27 ft | dawn & midday | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Fast tube lure, Long minnow plug |
| Summer | 1 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Fast swimbait, Spoon |
| Fall | 1 to 27 ft | dawn & midday | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Mullet-profile plug, Tube lure |
| Winter | 2 to 27 ft | midday & dusk | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Long minnow plug, Fast jig |
Start shallow in spring: gray snapper (mangrove snapper) sit in 3 to 22 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 4 to 27 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 27 ft. The spot to know is NOAA charted pile, a dock line in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for gray snapper (mangrove snapper) in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small bucktail or a paddletail until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 22 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted pier (3 ft) | Small paddletail, Jighead + shrimp imitation |
| Summer | 4 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted pile (4 ft) | Small bucktail, Paddletail |
| Fall | 4 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted pile (4 ft) | Small vertical jig, Jighead + paddletail |
| Winter | 5 to 27 ft | midday | NOAA charted hard seabed (13 ft) | Small jig worked slowly |
