10.406-acre Ν. Οθωνοι Greece coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited Greek hydrographic and HCMR survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Greek WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in Ionian Islands and Western Greece. 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 1681 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.
On the chart, Ν. Οθωνοι draws 10,406 acres inside 28.3 miles of shoreline, with a single island in the mix. Index 2 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 3% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 5.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 4.6 mi at the beam. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Melissa Ciro, 125 mi west of here.
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. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 30 ft, wintering in 10 to 55 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Spring gilthead seabream on Ν. Οθωνοι hold shallow, usually 3 to 35 ft. By summer they slide out to 2 to 45 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 100 ft. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

In spring, common dentex run shallow here, mostly 20 to 130 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 30 to 180 ft before dropping to 60 to 260 ft for winter. Summer common dentex concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 109 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Come spring, look for red mullet tight to the bank in 5 to 55 ft. Expect a summer slide to 4 to 70 ft, then a winter hold in 30 to 140 ft. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

Spring puts atlantic bonito in skinny water — 15 to 100 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 5 to 90 ft, and winter fish hold in 50 to 220 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 109 ft, rated good for fall atlantic bonito. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

When the water first warms, greater amberjack slide up into 30 to 180 ft. Summer is a 20 to 220 ft game here, winter a 70 to 300 ft one. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 109 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

Hellenic Coast Guard 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 Greece waters are set by the Greek Government fisheries services — and special regulations can apply to Ν. Οθωνοι specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Greece's current national, EU, port and protected-area rules before every coastal trip. Although individual recreational sea-fishing licences were abolished, method restrictions, minimum sizes, daily limits, protected species, seasonal measures, marine parks, fisheries restricted areas, swimming zones and harbour directions still apply. Regional or island-specific controls may change independently. A WFD polygon, source-audited contour, fishing spot or port reference never grants fishing, retention, shoreline entry, parking, launching or safe-navigation permission.

Ν. Οθωνοι is about 1681 ft (512 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 Greece 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 Ν. Οθωνοι. 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 109 ft of water that rates prime for common dentex in summer. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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 Ν. Οθωνοι is regulated by the Greek Government fisheries services. Check the official Greece regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
