21,217-acre Jasmunder Bodden. West 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. Western Jasmunder Bodden, with broad brackish flats and island-framed channel edges. The water tops out around 15 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 8 586 Hektar mit 115.7 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 3.5) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 81% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 19.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 12.2 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Gingster Moor, 12.9 km Richtung Süden.

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.

When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. Start at Weed flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.

The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).

In spring, european flounder run shallow here, mostly 1.5 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 11 m before dropping to 4.5 to 15 m for winter. Spring european flounder concentrate at Feeding flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 3.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bottom jig with spinner blade most summer days.
