Rock Folk-5: walls, reefs, dentex water

Rock Folk-5 on this chart is walls, reefs and harder inserts. It is dentex water when the model has zones. It is not a sand-flat story. It is not an Italy-wide promise. A habitat score is a model match, not a fish count.

The parent is Adriatic seabed, depth and habitat scores. The Latin card is rock.

Definition

Rock means the Folk-5 rock class the chart draws. Local harder belts on a mainland harbour are not Rovinj islands. Ancona can show harder inserts. Those belts are local. They are not a Dalmatian reef tour.

Colour and substrate still decide more than chasing metres. A wall in the wrong depth is still the wrong sit. Mixed can sit next to rock. That mixed is a different child.

Which species

Common dentex (zobatec) is the rock and drop fish. Named only where the model has zones: Rovinj and Vis are the examples. Umag, Pag flats and Rimini stay sand.

Orada can appear next to rock on a sand/hard edge. That edge is still an orada sit, not a dentex card on sand. Pandora is mixed. Pelagics can pass a wall on a current line. Bass overlay is incomplete. There is no published wall-marks list.

Which techniques

Anchor on a readable class change next to rock. Shore jigging and spinning walls live on shore jigging. Trolling along a wall is a search line. Surfcast is not the primary rock plan. Rovinj is not a surfcast primary.

Two place examples

Fishing Rovinj is western Istria islands and reefs. Rock and mixed. Dentex belongs when the overlay has zones, not as a harbour-pier story.

Fishing Vis is an open-island south Dalmatian pin with real drop. Same rule. Do not copy Rovinj onto Vis, or Vis onto Rimini. Cres can also show rock. It is an extra place, not a required third example.

Parent and checker

Read the parent for mud, score limits and substrate-source context. Open the Habitat Checker. Rock without zones is still rock. Empty is more honest than a borrowed paragraph.

How a visitor misreads rock

A dark wall on the plotter is not a plan. The Folk-5 class has to read rock or a rock/mixed change. Depth has to match the overlay. If there are no public dentex zones, leave them empty. Coverage is the live-layer map.

Rovinj islands are short-distance micro-relief. Vis is open-island drop. Both can be mute on the wrong flank. Lee versus exposed side matters more than the island name.

Italy mainland harder belts are local. They are not a licence to copy Vis onto Ancona. Rimini sand is not rock.

Working method

Read class first. If the pin is sand, you are on the wrong child. If it is mixed, see mixed. If it is rock, look for the drop or the reef edge the model actually scores. Anchor if the sit is a class change. Spinning walls live on shore jigging.

Cargo and ferry water can run next to rock in city harbours. Leave space. That is access, not a dentex product.

Empty is more honest than a copied Istria reef paragraph on an Italian sand town.

Score is a model match. A high number on rock in the wrong depth band is still the wrong sit. Compare pins along the wall, not across a gulf.

Limits

This page will not claim Mediterranean-wide rock. Coverage is the published strip plus the Croatian and Slovenian coasts the place pages already name.

Season stays on the place. This class page owns the class. The parent owns mud, substrate-source context and score limits.

If you only remember one sentence: rock without zones is still rock, and it is not a sand card.

Rovinj is islands and reefs. Vis is drop. Cres is open Kvarner with lee versus exposed edges. Pula has rocky capes between sandy bays. Šibenik and Split have channel walls and traffic. Those facts live on place pages. This class page only says: if Folk-5 reads rock, you are not on the sand child.

Korčula and Hvar have lee mazes and exposed sides. Rock can be the lee wall. It can also be the wrong side in swell. Choose the flank.

Italy: Trieste and Ancona can show local harder belts. They are not Rovinj. Rimini does not get dentex cards because Ancona has relief.

Longline and spear stay knowledge articles. Skippers can still open them.

Italy incomplete modes still leave rock as a class you can name. They do not let you advertise trolling as complete. A wall search can still end in an anchor on a class change.

Open the Habitat Checker. If you already have a town pin from Rovinj or Vis, use that. If you are still choosing a coast, drop a sea-side pin without pretending it is a secret wall. Score is a model match. Rock is the class. Zones are the overlay. All three have to agree before this page lets you name dentex.

Sibling sand and mixed pages sit next to this one. Read them if the pin is not rock.
