7714-acre Polish Bornholm Basin Coastal Waters. Sector 03 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 Baltic Coast. 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 49 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 7,714 acres, worked by 25.6 miles of shoreline. With a 2.1 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 22% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Call it 11.3 mi long by 1.8 mi wide at the broadest reach. If the bite dies, Polish Bornholm Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 08 is 7 mi to the southwest.
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.

Early season sea trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 20 ft. Summer is a 15 to 49 ft game here, winter a 5 to 30 ft one. The chart's best answer is Rock reef — rock pile, 3 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (3 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Summer | 15 to 49 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (34 ft) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (5 ft) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 30 ft | midday | Rock reef (4 ft) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Spring atlantic herring on Polish Bornholm Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 03 hold shallow, usually 5 to 25 ft. By summer they slide out to 15 to 49 ft, and by winter most fish are in 15 to 49 ft.

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 Polish Bornholm Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 03 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.
