54,873-acre East Frisian Wadden Sea. Juist 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. East Frisian Wadden Sea. Juist East. The Juist sector, with narrow tidal gullies and broad island-framed sand flats. The water tops out around 24 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.
Auf der Karte umfasst East Frisian Wadden Sea - Juist East 22 252 Hektar hinter 141.5 km Uferlinie, aufgebrochen durch 4 Inseln. Die Uferlinie ist stark gegliedert (Index 2.7) — Buchten und Landzungen überall, was die befischbare Kante vervielfacht. Etwa 44% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 32.3 km, an der breitesten Stelle 15.1 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist East Frisian Wadden Sea - Juist West, 12.9 km Richtung Südwesten.

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.

Spring european flounder on East Frisian Wadden Sea - Juist East hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 11 m, and by winter most fish are in 4.5 to 15 m. The chart's best answer is Feeding flat — feeding flat, 6 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bottom jig with spinner blade.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk | Feeding flat (6 m) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Sommer | 2 to 11 m | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (6 m) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Small bottom jig |
In spring, european plaice run shallow here, mostly 2.5 to 11 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 12 m before dropping to 7 to 24 m for winter. Spring european plaice concentrate at Feeding flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 6 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace most summer days.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 2.5 to 11 m | dusk | Feeding flat (6 m) | Beaded flowing trace |
| Sommer | 2 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (6 m) | Light spooned bottom rig, Beaded trace |
| Herbst | 3 to 15 m | dusk | Official-grid channel edge (12 m) | Beaded bottom trace |
| Winter | 7 to 24 m | midday | Deepest basin (24 m) |
Come spring, look for common sole tight to the bank in 2 to 9 m. Through summer count on 1 to 9 m; the winter hold is 6 to 21 m. If you only fish one area, make it Feeding flat: a feeding flat around 6 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is the evening. A light rolling-lead rig is the honest summer answer here.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 2 to 9 m | dusk | Feeding flat (6 m) | Tiny bottom jig |
| Sommer | 1 to 9 m | dusk | Feeding flat (6 m) | Light rolling-lead rig |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Official-grid channel edge (12 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 6 to 21 m | night | Official-grid channel edge (12 m) |
Spring puts european seabass in skinny water — 1 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 0.5 to 9 m, wintering in 3 to 17 m. Fall european seabass concentrate at Official-grid current seam, a prime-rated current seam around 9.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A surface lure or a paddle-tail soft plastic covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (1 m) | Paddle-tail soft plastic, Shallow minnow plug |

Spring puts atlantic herring in skinny water — 1.5 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 4.5 to 15 m, wintering in 6 to 18 m. Fall atlantic herring concentrate at Official-grid current seam, a good-rated current seam around 9.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.
