75,366-acre North Frisian Wadden Sea. Amrum South Germany saltwater fishing map with official BSH 50 m seabed bathymetry, source-qualified fishing spots, official German fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public shore-use context and current-rule links. North Frisian Wadden Sea. Amrum South. Amrum's exposed west-side banks and protected Wadden channels. The water tops out around 29 m. The depth chart comes from Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 30 485 Hektar mit 113.8 km Ufer, aufgebrochen durch 3 Inseln. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.8) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 32% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 21.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 20.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist North Frisian Wadden Sea - Amrum North, 17.7 km Richtung Norden.

Regional occurrence supports search targets, not equal abundance, a child-specific catch rate, retention permission or a promised catch. Baltic cod is intentionally excluded because targeted recreational fishing is prohibited in 2026; live state and federal rules always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

Spring puts european flounder in skinny water — 1.5 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 11 m, wintering in 4.5 to 15 m. Fall european flounder concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 4 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bottom jig with spinner blade covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk | Sharp break (4 m) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Sommer | 2 to 11 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (4 m) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Sharp break (4 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | Sharp break (4 m) | Small bottom jig |
Come spring, look for european plaice tight to the bank in 2.5 to 11 m. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 12 m, then a winter hold in 7.5 to 24 m. Start at Official-grid channel edge. It's a channel edge holding about 13 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 2.5 to 11 m | dusk | Official-grid shoal (5.5 m) | Beaded flowing trace |
| Sommer | 2 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (13 m) | Light spooned bottom rig, Beaded trace |
| Herbst | 3 to 15 m | dusk | Official-grid channel edge (13 m) | Beaded bottom trace |
| Winter | 7.5 to 24 m | midday | Official-grid channel edge (13 m) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: common sole in 2 to 9 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 9 m through summer, 6 to 21 m in winter. The spot to know is Official-grid channel edge, a channel edge in about 13 m of water that rates good for common sole in fall. Plan around the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a light rolling-lead rig gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 2 to 9 m | dusk | open water | Tiny bottom jig |
| Sommer | 1 to 9 m | dusk | open water | Light rolling-lead rig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Official-grid channel edge (13 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 6 to 21 m | night | Official-grid channel edge (13 m) |
Spring european seabass on North Frisian Wadden Sea - Amrum South hold shallow, usually 1 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 0.5 to 9 m, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 17 m. The chart's best answer is Official-grid current seam — current seam, 11 m, prime for fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (3 m) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |

Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the Portal Fischerei — Schleswig-Holstein fisheries authority links — and special regulations can apply to North Frisian Wadden Sea - Amrum South specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. German coastal fishing rules are set by the applicable Land and may require a fishing licence, coastal permit or additional fishery-right permission. Check Schleswig-Holstein's current species closures and minimum sizes, protected areas, harbour and navigation restrictions, local access rights and posted signs before every trip; a mapped depth cell or bathing site is not permission to fish.

Official-grid channel edge is the top-rated area: a channel edge in about 44 ft of water that rates prime for european plaice in fall. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For european flounder, 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.
