60,737-acre Inner Gdansk Bay. Sector 07 Poland coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 official Polish POL200M/POL500M hydrographic DTM / traceable CDI assessed contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Polish WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in Polish Lagoons and Estuaries. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 228 ft. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit official hydrographic-chart depth models, so the contours are chart-derived rather than computer-modeled; no directly measured sounding coverage is claimed. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 60,824 acres wrapped in 39.5 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Roughly 3% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 11 mi with a 9.6-mi widest point. If the bite dies, Inner Gdansk Bay - Sector 03 is 6 mi to the north.
Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions 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.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 3 to 12 ft. Summer is an 8 to 28 ft game here, winter a 12 to 33 ft one. Start at Weed flat. It's a weed flat holding about 6 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Weed flat (6 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Sharp break (21 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 10 to 33 ft | midday | Sharp break (21 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 12 to 33 ft | midday & dawn | Sharp break (21 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Inner Gdansk Bay - Sector 07 hold shallow, usually 2 to 8 ft. They move out to 8 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 15 ft. Put Weed flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (6 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Weed flat (6 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Weed flat (6 ft) | Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, zander slide up into 4 to 15 ft. Summer is a 15 to 35 ft game here, winter a 20 to 40 ft one. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 21 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Shoreline point (8 ft) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Summer | 15 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (21 ft) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Fall | 12 to 40 ft | dusk & night | Sharp break (21 ft) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 40 ft | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (41 ft) | Slow blade bait |
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 Sharp break: a drop-off around 42 ft that scores good in summer. 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 | Weed flat (6 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (42 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (21 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | Sharp break (42 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: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 21 ft range, prime in fall. 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 | Sharp break (21 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |

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 Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 42 ft of water and rates prime 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 | Shoreline point (8 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |

Polish maritime administration ports and harbours review was reviewed, but no stable government record establishes a public fishing entrance, parking or launch for this exact mapped child. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, port and harbour rules, protected areas, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Poland waters are set by the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (current recreational marine-fishing rules) — and special regulations can apply to Inner Gdansk Bay - Sector 07 specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Poland's live national and EU Baltic recreational-fishing rules before every trip. Fees, permitted methods, protected sizes and periods, species prohibitions, harbour spinning closures, marine protected areas and local port or shoreline directions can change. Directed recreational retention of cod, eel and some salmon is restricted or prohibited under the cited framework; never infer an open fishery from a regional occurrence roster. An official DTM contour, fishing spot or nearby port reference is planning context only and never grants fishing, retention, access, parking, launching, port-entry or safe-navigation permission.
