Fishing Pag
Pag is an island of contrasts: wind exposure, long flats and very different “sides” of shore. Success often means the right side in the right wind — and bottom that has structure. Public habitat zones (scores ≤ 50) show part of the model; peak scores stay in the app.
Habitat zones (score ≤ 50)
We only show public zones with score up to 50. Green / high-probability peaks stay in the VIP app.

Season
Spring and autumn are the most balanced. Summer works, but Bora/Scirocco quickly rewrite the plan. Winter is for persistent anglers with good shelter.
Techniques
Anchoring in lee bays, trolling along edges, surfcasting on sandy stretches. On Pag, choosing the island side is the first decision of the day.
Depths and bottom
From bathymetry in the location frame: about 0.1–499.8 m (median 34.3 m, 35632 samples). Lots of shallow ground (3–20 m), with deeper belts toward the channels. The model helps find structure inside wide flats.

Frequently asked questions
- Why does wind matter so much on Pag?
- Because the long, exposed shape quickly creates unfishable conditions on one side — and excellent ones on the other.
- Is Pag more of a boat fishery?
- A boat gives more freedom, but shore fishing also has sensible marks in good weather.
- What does the map on this page show?
- The location and any public habitat zones with score ≤ 50 — not premium green peaks.
