72,795-acre East Frisian Wadden Sea. Baltrum and Langeoog 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. The Baltrum and Langeoog channels, with inlet current, sand bars and tidal-flat edges. The water tops out around 30 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 29 497 Hektar mit 200.8 km Ufer, aufgebrochen durch 14 Inseln. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 3.3) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 49% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 25.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 18 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist East Frisian Wadden Sea - Norderney, 22.5 km Richtung Westen.

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.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european flounder in 1.5 to 7.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 11 m, wintering in 4.5 to 15 m. Top water on the chart: Feeding flat, a feeding flat in the 13 m range, good in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. 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 | Official-grid shoal (4.5 m) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Sommer | 2 to 11 m | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (13 m) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Feeding flat (13 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | Sharp break (16 m) | Small bottom jig |
Early season european plaice use the shallows, holding 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. Put Official-grid channel edge first on the milk run — a channel edge near 12 m that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 2.5 to 11 m | dusk | Official-grid shoal (4.5 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 (12 m) | Beaded bottom trace |
| Winter | 7.5 to 24 m | midday | Official-grid channel edge (12 m) |
In spring, common sole run shallow here, mostly 2 to 9 m. Summer keeps them at 1 to 9 m, and they winter in 6 to 21 m. Fall common sole concentrate at Official-grid channel edge, a prime-rated channel edge around 12 m. Fish it in the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a light rolling-lead rig most summer days.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 2 to 9 m | dusk | Official-grid current seam (9.5 m) | Tiny bottom jig |
| Sommer | 1 to 9 m | dusk | Official-grid current seam (9.5 m) | Light rolling-lead rig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Official-grid channel edge (12 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 6 to 21 m | night | Official-grid channel edge (12 m) |
When the water first warms, european seabass slide up into 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. If you only fish one area, make it Official-grid current seam: a current seam around 9.5 m that scores prime in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (1 m) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (9.5 m) | Surface lure, Paddle-tail soft plastic |
| Herbst | 1 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (9.5 m) | Slim metal lure, Minnow plug |
| Winter | 3 to 17 m | midday | Official-grid channel edge (12 m) | Slow soft-plastic shad, Suspending minnow |
When the water first warms, atlantic herring slide up into 1.5 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 15 m, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 18 m. If you only fish one area, make it Official-grid current seam: a current seam around 9.5 m that scores good in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 | Official-grid shoal (4.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (16 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (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: atlantic mackerel in 1.5 to 14 m. As the season builds they drop to 4.5 to 24 m, wintering in 7.5 to 30 m. Top water on the chart: Official-grid current seam, a current seam in the 9.5 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a feather rig or a small vertical jig gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 14 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (9.5 m) | Mackerel feather rig, Small silver jig |

| Herbst | 3 to 20 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (9.5 m) | Compact silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
| Winter | 7.5 to 30 m | midday | Deepest basin (30 m) | Small deep jig |

Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the Portal Fischerei — Lower Saxony fisheries authority links — and special regulations can apply to East Frisian Wadden Sea - Baltrum and Langeoog specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. German North Sea and estuary fishing rules combine Land fisheries law, local fishery rights and protected-area or harbour controls. Check Lower Saxony's current licence and permit requirements, species closures and minimum sizes, Wadden conservation rules, tidal safety, local access and posted restrictions before every trip; a mapped feature is not permission to fish.

East Frisian Wadden Sea - Baltrum and Langeoog is about 100 ft (30 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
East Frisian Wadden Sea - Baltrum and Langeoog ist an der tiefsten Stelle etwa 30 Meter (100 Fuß) tief. Die Tiefen stammen aus echten Vermessungen.

The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Official-grid channel edge is the top-rated area: a channel edge in about 39 ft of water that rates prime for european plaice in fall. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
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.
