28,839-acre North Frisian Wadden Sea. Eiderstedt South 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. North Frisian Wadden Sea. Eiderstedt South. The Eiderstedt coast and Eider mouth, with tidal channels, surf banks and broad flats. The water tops out around 19 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.

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 european flounder on North Frisian Wadden Sea - Eiderstedt South hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 11 m, and by winter most fish are in 4.5 to 15 m. The chart's best answer is Feeding flat — feeding flat, 5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bottom jig with spinner blade.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk | Feeding flat (5 m) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Sommer | 2 to 11 m | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (5 m) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Feeding flat (5 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | Official-grid channel edge (9.5 m) | Small bottom jig |
In spring, european plaice run shallow here, mostly 2.5 to 11 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 12 m before dropping to 5.5 to 19 m for winter. Spring european plaice concentrate at Feeding flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace most summer days.
