12.815-acre Νοτιος Ευβοϊκος - Μαρκοπουλο. Central 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 Central and Southern Aegean. 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 292 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 12,816 acres wrapped in 20.9 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 3% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 8.7 mi end to end and 4 mi across at its widest. Ακτες Κολπου Πεταλιων - Ραφηνα - North sits 10 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
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 Νοτιος Ευβοϊκος - Μαρκοπουλο - Central hold shallow, usually 3 to 25 ft. They move out to 2 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 10 to 55 ft. Put Shoreline point first on the milk run — a point near 12 ft that grades good for fall. The feeding windows run 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 (12 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (12 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (12 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. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 45 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 100 ft. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Come spring, look for common dentex tight to the bank in 20 to 130 ft. They move out to 30 to 180 ft in summer and finish the year down in 60 to 260 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 148 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening.

In spring, red mullet run shallow here, mostly 5 to 55 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 4 to 70 ft, and winter fish settle into 30 to 140 ft. Time it for early morning and the evening.

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. Start at Shoreline point. It's a point holding about 61 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

Start shallow in spring: greater amberjack sit in 30 to 180 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 20 to 220 ft, and winter fish settle into 68 to 292 ft. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 148 ft of water that rates prime for greater amberjack in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

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 Νοτιος Ευβοϊκος - Μαρκοπουλο - Central 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.

Νοτιος Ευβοϊκος - Μαρκοπουλο - Central is about 292 ft (89 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 Νοτιος Ευβοϊκος - Μαρκοπουλο - Central. 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 148 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.
