82,107-acre Great Belt. Langeland Northeast Denmark saltwater fishing map with official Danish Geodata Agency 50 m bathymetry, measured-only fishing spots, DTU-supported fish targets, seasonal forage guidance and public shore-access context. The northeastern Langeland reach toward Zealand, with measured banks and current-facing contour transitions. The water tops out around 143 ft. The depth chart comes from Danish Geodata Agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The drawn water covers 82,122 acres wrapped in 49.2 miles of bank. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. 11% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 18.7 mi long by 12.8 mi wide at the broadest reach. Its nearest charted neighbour, Great Belt - Langeland Southeast, is 12 mi to the south.
The target roster combines the named DTU monitoring area with conservative habitat-compatible Danish regional records. It documents observed or regionally supported occurrence, not equal abundance, a catch rate, or a promised catch in this child. European eel is omitted because recreational eel fishing is currently closed. 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.

Come spring, look for sea trout tight to the bank in 3 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 15 to 50 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 30 ft. Start at DDM source-backed depth reference (42 ft). It's a point holding about 42 ft of water and rates good come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | DDM source-backed depth reference (42 ft) (42 ft) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 30 ft | midday | open water | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Come spring, look for atlantic herring tight to the bank in 5 to 25 ft. They move out to 15 to 50 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 60 ft. If you only fish one area, make it DDM source-backed depth reference (20 ft): a feeding flat around 20 ft that scores good in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | DDM source-backed depth reference (20 ft) (20 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | DDM source-backed depth reference (60 ft) (60 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Start shallow in spring: european flounder sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 50 ft. Top water on the chart: DDM source-backed depth reference (20 ft), a feeding flat in the 20 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bottom jig with spinner blade until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | DDM source-backed depth reference (20 ft) (20 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | DDM source-backed depth reference (20 ft) (20 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | DDM source-backed depth reference (20 ft) (20 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | DDM source-backed depth reference (50 ft) (50 ft) | Small bottom jig |
Come spring, look for garfish tight to the bank in 1 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 60 ft. Start at DDM source-backed depth reference (60 ft). It's a current seam holding about 60 ft of water and rates good come winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | DDM source-backed depth reference (60 ft) (60 ft) |
Spring european plaice on Great Belt - Langeland Northeast hold shallow, usually 8 to 35 ft. They move out to 6 to 40 ft in summer and finish the year down in 25 to 80 ft. Put DDM source-backed depth reference (20 ft) first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 20 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 8 to 35 ft | dusk | DDM source-backed depth reference (20 ft) (20 ft) | Beaded flowing trace |
| Summer | 6 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | DDM source-backed depth reference (20 ft) (20 ft) | Light spooned bottom rig, Beaded trace |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk | DDM source-backed depth reference (20 ft) (20 ft) | Beaded bottom trace |
| Winter | 25 to 80 ft | midday | DDM source-backed depth reference (70 ft) (70 ft) |
Spring whiting on Great Belt - Langeland Northeast hold shallow, usually 15 to 55 ft. They move out to 20 to 70 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 70 ft. Put DDM source-backed depth reference (70 ft) first on the milk run — a channel edge near 70 ft that grades good for winter. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a small vertical jig.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 55 ft | dawn & dusk | DDM source-backed depth reference (70 ft) (70 ft) | Small silver jig, Two-hook feather rig |

Great Belt - Langeland Northeast is about 143 ft (44 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from Danish Geodata Agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Official coastal monitoring from DTU Aqua key-fisher monitoring, 2020–2022 informs the sea trout, atlantic herring, european flounder, garfish, european plaice, whiting, atlantic mackerel, common sole roster for Great Belt - Langeland Northeast. 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.
DDM source-backed depth reference (20 ft) is the top-rated area: a feeding flat in about 20 ft of water that rates prime for european flounder in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For sea trout, 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.
Fishing on Great Belt - Langeland Northeast is regulated by the Danish Agency for Green Transition and Aquatic Environment (current recreational fishing rules).
