68,335-acre Jasmunder Bodden. East 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. Eastern Jasmunder Bodden and its narrow exchanges, with vegetated shallows and measured depressions. The water tops out around 30 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 is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 27 681 Hektar mit 112.8 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.9) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 6% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 36.2 km, an der breitesten Stelle 19.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Kleiner Wostevitzer Teich, 6.4 km Richtung Südwesten.
Kostenlose interaktive Tiefenkarte — Jasmunder Bodden — East, Deutschland: Tiefenlinien aus echten Vermessungsdaten bis 30 m (99 Fuß), dazu die besten Angelplätze für Hecht, Flussbarsch, Zander und mehr.

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.

Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Weed flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1.5 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (1.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Herbst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (1.5 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Start at Weed flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Weed flat (1.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Herbst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (10 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 11 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 12 m. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 10 m of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (0.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (10 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Herbst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (10 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (10 m) | Slow blade bait |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european flounder in 1.5 to 7.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 11 m, wintering in 4.5 to 15 m. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 10 m range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bottom jig with spinner blade gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk | Official-grid shoal (6 m) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Sommer | 2 to 11 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (10 m) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Sharp break (10 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | Sharp break (10 m) | Small bottom jig |
When the water first warms, atlantic herring slide up into 1.5 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 15 m, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 18 m. If you only fish one area, make it Official-grid current seam: a current seam around 12 m that scores good in fall. 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.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid shoal (6 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (10 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (12 m) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (10 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
When the water first warms, garfish slide up into 0.5 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 6 to 18 m one. Start at Official-grid shoal. It's a gravel shoal holding about 6 m of water and rates good come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & midday | Official-grid shoal (6 m) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid shoal (6 m) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid point (9 m) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | midday | Official-grid current seam (12 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 Jasmunder Bodden - East 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 5 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each 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.
