1,049,429-acre section. The exposed coast from Darß around Cape Arkona to eastern Rügen: sea trout on reefs and points, migratory herring and garfish, and flatfish on sand transitions. The water tops out around 46 m. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 427 380 Hektar mit 649.2 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.8) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 10% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 119.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 78.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Baltic Sea - West Rügen Bodden, 4.8 km Richtung Süden.

When the water first warms, sea trout slide up into 1 to 6 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 15 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 9 m. If you only fish one area, make it Rock reef: a rock pile around 1 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (1 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (13 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (1.5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Rock reef (3 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
When the water first warms, atlantic herring slide up into 1.5 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 15 m game here, winter a 6 to 18 m one. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 13 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a herring feather rig or a small silver jig rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (3 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (13 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (16 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european flounder in 1.5 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 11 m before dropping to 4.5 to 15 m for winter. The spot to know is Feeding flat, a feeding flat in about 9 m of water that rates prime for european flounder in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bottom jig with spinner blade gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk | Sharp break (6.5 m) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Sommer | 2 to 11 m | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (9 m) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | Sharp break (13 m) | Small bottom jig |
When the water first warms, garfish slide up into 0.5 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 0.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 18 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline point: a point around 1.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & midday | Shoreline point (1.5 m) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (1.5 m) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (6.5 m) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (16 m) |
