Kvarner

Fishing Cres

Cres brings Kvarner character: longer shores, deeper channels and wind that dictates the day plan. This is not only shallow Istrian flats — relief and currents open different chances for mackerel, bonito, seabream and pandora. The map shows only zones scored ≤ 50.

Habitat zones (score ≤ 50)

We only show public zones with score up to 50. Green / high-probability peaks stay in the VIP app.

Season

Late spring to early autumn is most active. Summer is strong for pelagics on current; spring/autumn for anchoring on structure. Bora can stop plans — always check the forecast.

Techniques

Trolling along steeper relief, anchoring in lee, spinning at accessible points. On Cres, logistics (harbour, fuel, wind) are part of the strategy.

Depths and bottom

From bathymetry in the location frame: about 0.1–499.9 m (median 64.2 m, 44878 samples). From shallow bays to 40+ m in channels. The working band is wide — the model helps narrow the search to sensible zones.

Frequently asked questions

Is Cres suitable for a smaller boat?
Yes, in good weather with a realistic distance plan. Kvarner punishes underestimating wind.
What should I target first?
Depends on season: structure (seabream/pandora) in spring/autumn, pelagics in summer on current.
Why are green zones hidden?
So public SEO pages do not reveal premium habitat peaks. VIP unlocks the full model.
