62,420-acre Lübeck Bay. 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 Lübeck Bay toward Boltenhagen, with exposed points, reefs and broad sand transitions. The water tops out around 28 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Auf der Karte umfasst Lübeck Bay - East 25 287 Hektar hinter 92.7 km Uferlinie. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 1.6) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 8% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 26.6 km, an der breitesten Stelle 16.7 km.

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.

Start shallow in spring: sea trout sit in 1 to 6 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 15 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 9 m. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 12 m of water that rates prime for sea trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (0.5 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (12 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (1 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Shoreline point (1 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
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 11 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig covers the summer program.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid shoal (5.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (12 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (11 m) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (12 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Spring european flounder on Lübeck Bay - 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, 10 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bottom jig with spinner blade.

Start shallow in spring: garfish sit in 0.5 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 0.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 6 to 18 m. The spot to know is Shoreline point, a point in about 1 m of water that rates prime for garfish in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly until the fish tell you otherwise.

You won't need more than a light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace most summer days.

You won't need more than a small vertical jig most summer days.
