119,994-acre Darß and Zingst. Outer Coast East 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. Darß and Zingst. Outer Coast East. The exposed Darß-Zingst shore, with surf bars, points and deeper Baltic contour transitions. The water tops out around 26 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Auf der Karte umfasst Darß and Zingst - Outer Coast East 48 584 Hektar hinter 99 km Uferlinie. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.3) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 0% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 35.4 km, an der breitesten Stelle 21.4 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Darß and Zingst - Outer Coast West, 19.3 km Richtung Südwesten.

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 sea trout in skinny water — 1 to 6 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 15 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 9 m. Shoreline point is the standout, a point at roughly 7.5 m, rated good for fall sea trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid shoal (5 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid channel edge (13 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (7.5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Shoreline point (7.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Start shallow in spring: atlantic herring sit in 1.5 to 7.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 15 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 18 m. Top water on the chart: Official-grid current seam, a current seam in the 10 m range, good in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a herring feather rig or a small silver jig until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid shoal (5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (10 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (10 m) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | midday | Official-grid channel edge (13 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Come spring, look for european flounder tight to the bank in 1.5 to 7.5 m. They move out to 2 to 11 m in summer and finish the year down in 4.5 to 15 m. If you only fish one area, make it Feeding flat: a feeding flat around 12 m that scores good in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bottom jig with spinner blade is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk | Official-grid shoal (5 m) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Sommer | 2 to 11 m | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (12 m) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Feeding flat (12 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | Official-grid channel edge (13 m) | Small bottom jig |
Spring puts garfish in skinny water — 0.5 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 0.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 18 m. Official-grid shoal is the standout, a gravel shoal at roughly 5 m, rated good for summer garfish. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & midday | Official-grid shoal (5 m) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid shoal (5 m) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (7.5 m) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | midday | Official-grid current seam (10 m) |
Start shallow in spring: european plaice sit in 2.5 to 11 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 12 m, and winter fish settle into 7.5 to 24 m. The spot to know is Feeding flat, a feeding flat in about 12 m of water that rates prime for european plaice in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 2.5 to 11 m | dusk | Official-grid shoal (5 m) | Beaded flowing trace |
| Sommer | 2 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (12 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 | Deepest basin (26 m) |
Start shallow in spring: whiting sit in 4.5 to 17 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 21 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 21 m. The spot to know is Official-grid channel edge, a channel edge in about 13 m of water that rates prime for whiting in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a small vertical jig until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 4.5 to 17 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid channel edge (13 m) | Small silver jig, Two-hook feather rig |
