Eyes on the Bay: Don't Fish Below This Depth

Using the data collected by our Long-Term Monitoring Program, this map shows the maximum suggested fishing depth at each station, based on oxygen availability:

• Blue stars (): Entire water column has oxygen levels suitable for Bay gamefish (> 3 mg/L).
• Rainbow Gradient (Red to Purple): The stations are color-coded from Red () indicating a shallow fishable range, to Purple () indicating a large fishable range. The color indicates the suggested maximum fishing depth.
• Use the 'Show Legend' menu to view the full color-code key and depth values.
• Use the 'Filter Stations' menu to toggle stations or map layers, such as the 'Tide Prediction' layer.

The suggested maximum best fishing depth is the depth at which the oxygen level is above 3 mg/L. Below the reported depth, the oxygen level is < 3 mg/L, which fish generally avoid.
