242-acre river near Scheveningen. The water tops out around 77 ft. 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.
The drawn water covers 242 acres wrapped in 2.8 miles of bank. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. 73% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 1.2 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.7 mi at the beam. Haringvliet Offshore sits 11 mi southwest — the closest neighbouring chart.

When the water first warms, atlantic herring slide up into 5 to 25 ft. By summer they slide out to 15 to 50 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 60 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Measured shallow feeding flat: a feeding flat around 24 ft that scores good in spring. 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (24 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured deep-water holding area (77 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured deep-water holding area (77 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | Measured deep-water holding area (77 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european flounder in 5 to 25 ft. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 35 ft, wintering in 15 to 50 ft. Top water on the chart: Measured shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in the 24 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bottom jig with spinner blade gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (24 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (24 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (24 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | Measured shallow feeding flat (24 ft) | Small bottom jig |
When the water first warms, garfish slide up into 1 to 15 ft. Summer is a 2 to 20 ft game here, winter a 20 to 60 ft one. Start at Measured deep-water holding area. It's a deep basin holding about 77 ft of water and rates good come winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & midday | open water | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | Measured deep-water holding area (77 ft) |
2 pieces of structure are mapped here — Measured deep-water holding area, around 77 ft, is the deepest of them.

Delfland Coast is about 77 ft (23 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart here comes from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the contours reflect measured depths.
Anglers target atlantic herring, european flounder, garfish on Delfland Coast. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Measured shallow feeding flat is the top-rated area: a feeding flat in about 24 ft of water that rates prime for european flounder in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For atlantic herring, 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.
