70,158-acre Greifswald Bay. Middle 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. Middle Greifswald Bay, with shoals, weed edges and island-influenced current lines. The water tops out around 13 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.
Auf der Karte umfasst Greifswald Bay - Middle 28 406 Hektar hinter 107.5 km Uferlinie, mit einer Insel im Wasser. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.8) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 25% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 23.2 km, an der breitesten Stelle 21.6 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Greifswald Bay - Inner, 11.3 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: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Weed flat, a weed flat in the 2 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (2 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Weed flat, a weed flat in the 2 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Sharp break (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 11 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Official-grid shoal, a gravel shoal in the 2.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Official-grid shoal (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (8 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Deepest basin (13 m) | Slow blade bait |
When the water first warms, european flounder slide up into 1.5 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 11 m game here, winter a 4 to 13 m one. Start at Feeding flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bottom jig with spinner blade rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk | Feeding flat (2 m) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Sommer | 2 to 11 m | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (2 m) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Sharp break (8 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 4 to 13 m | midday | Deepest basin (13 m) | Small bottom jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic herring in 1.5 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4 to 13 m before dropping to 4 to 13 m for winter. The spot to know is Deepest basin, a deep basin in about 13 m of water that rates prime for atlantic herring in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a herring feather rig or a small silver jig gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Sommer | 4 to 13 m | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (13 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (5 m) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 4 to 13 m | midday | Deepest basin (13 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
In spring, garfish run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 6 m before dropping to 4 to 13 m for winter. Spring garfish concentrate at Shoreline point, a prime-rated point around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly most summer days.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & midday | Shoreline point (1 m) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (1 m) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (5 m) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 4 to 13 m | midday | Deepest basin (13 m) |

Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Greifswald Bay - Middle specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastal fishing requires the applicable fishing documents and compliance with current coastal species, size, season and protected-area rules. Check the live LALLF guidance, local fishery rights, harbour and navigation restrictions, nature-reserve controls, shore access and posted signs before every trip; a DepthScout contour or access lead is never legal permission.

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.
Weed flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For northern pike, 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.
