325-acre Webb Cove fishing map with NOAA BlueTopo survey contours (100% measured, 100% assessed), charted rock and wreck 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Drawn out, this is 325 acres of water rimmed by 6.4 miles of bank, broken up by 5 islands. The 2.5 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 79% of this chart. Figure 1.2 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.9 mi at the beam. For a second option, Southeast Harbor lies 2 mi north.
Come spring, look for striped bass tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 27 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 27 ft. Start at Surveyed channel edge. It's a drop-off holding about 14 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A flutter spoon (deep) or an umbrella rig (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Bucktail jig + trailer, Walking topwater (dawn) |
| Summer | 8 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Flutter spoon (deep), Umbrella rig (trolled) |
| Fall | 8 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Topwater walker, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 8 to 27 ft | midday | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Alabama rig (slow), Flutter spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: bluefish in 3 to 20 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 5 to 27 ft before dropping to 8 to 27 ft for winter. The spot to know is Surveyed channel edge, a drop-off in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for bluefish in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a popper (early/late) or a metal jigs in the rips gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Metal (Hopkins/Kastmaster), Pencil popper |
| Summer | 5 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Popper (early/late), Metal jigs in the rips |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & midday | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Pencil popper, Big metal |
| Winter | 8 to 27 ft | midday | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Metal jig worked slow (southern waters) |
Come spring, look for atlantic mackerel tight to the bank in 3 to 27 ft. Through summer count on 5 to 27 ft; the winter hold is 7 to 27 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Surveyed channel edge: a drop-off around 14 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A feather rig or a small vertical jig is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Mackerel feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Summer | 5 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Feather rig, Small vertical jig |
| Fall | 4 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Compact silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
| Winter | 7 to 27 ft | midday | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Small deep jig |
Early season atlantic cod use the shallows, holding in 5 to 27 ft. Even in summer they hold at 7 to 27 ft; winter keeps them in 6 to 27 ft. The chart's best answer is NOAA charted underwater rock — rock pile, 11 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a heavy metal jig or a large soft-plastic jig and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 27 ft | dawn | NOAA charted underwater rock (11 ft) | Diamond jig, Heavy bucktail |
| Summer | 7 to 27 ft | dawn | NOAA charted underwater rock (11 ft) | Heavy metal jig, Large soft-plastic jig |
| Fall | 5 to 27 ft | dawn | NOAA charted underwater rock (11 ft) | Diamond jig, Bucktail with teaser |
| Winter | 6 to 27 ft | midday | NOAA charted underwater rock (11 ft) | Heavy vertical jig |
Start shallow in spring: atlantic herring sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 27 ft; cold water stacks them in 8 to 27 ft. Top water on the chart: Surveyed channel edge, a drop-off in the 14 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a herring feather rig or a small silver jig until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | NOAA charted underwater rock (11 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 8 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 7 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 8 to 27 ft | midday | Surveyed channel edge (14 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |

Webb Cove is about 27 ft (8 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart is built from real agency bathymetry referenced to NAVD88; directly measured coverage remains distinguished from source interpolation. The contours reflect measured and quality-assessed source depths.
Anglers target striped bass, bluefish, atlantic mackerel, atlantic cod, atlantic herring on Webb Cove.
NOAA charted underwater rock is the top-rated area: a rock pile in about 11 ft of water that rates prime for atlantic cod in spring. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For striped bass, 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.
