5776-acre Tortoli Fronte Zir 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 1237 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Tortoli Fronte Zir draws 5,776 acres inside 12.6 miles of shoreline. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. 14% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 3.6 mi long by 3.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Capo San Lorenzo, 35 mi south 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.

Start shallow in spring: european seabass sit in 3 to 25 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 55 ft. The spot to know is Shoreline point, a point in about 20 ft of water that rates good for european seabass in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Summer | 2 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 10 to 55 ft | midday | open water | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
Come spring, look for gilthead seabream tight to the bank in 3 to 35 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 45 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 100 ft. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

Start shallow in spring: common dentex sit in 20 to 130 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 30 to 180 ft; cold water stacks them in 60 to 260 ft. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 18 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

Spring red mullet on Tortoli Fronte Zir hold shallow, usually 5 to 55 ft. By summer they slide out to 4 to 70 ft, and by winter most fish are in 30 to 140 ft. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 18 ft, good for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic bonito in 15 to 100 ft. The depth story barely changes: 5 to 90 ft through summer, 50 to 220 ft in winter. The spot to know is Shoreline point, a point in about 20 ft of water that rates prime for atlantic bonito in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months.

Spring greater amberjack on Tortoli Fronte Zir hold shallow, usually 30 to 180 ft. They move out to 20 to 220 ft in summer and finish the year down in 70 to 300 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 18 ft that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening.

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 Tortoli Fronte Zir 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.

Tortoli Fronte Zir is about 1237 ft (377 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 Tortoli Fronte Zir. 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 18 ft of water that rates prime for greater amberjack in fall. 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 Tortoli Fronte Zir 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.
