71,545-acre section. The protected Bodden between Hiddensee, Rügen and the mainland: shallow weed-and-channel pike water with perch and zander, and migratory herring, garfish and sea trout. The water tops out around 22 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 29 098 Hektar mit 198.3 km Ufer, mit einer Insel im Wasser. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 3.3) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 65% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 35.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 11.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Baltic Sea - Darß and Rügen Coast, 4.8 km Richtung Norden.

Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Weed flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (2.5 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Weed flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2.5 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season zander use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 11 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 12 m. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 10 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |

Early season sea trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 6 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 15 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 9 m one. The chart's best answer is Rock reef — rock pile, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
