8350-acre Polish Bornholm Basin Coastal Waters. Sector 05 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 44 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 8,350 acres wrapped in 25.4 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (2) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 26% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. End to end it runs roughly 10.9 mi, about 1.8 mi across. Its nearest charted neighbour, Pomeranian Bay Coastal Waters - Sector 03, is 11 mi to the west.
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.

Come spring, look for sea trout tight to the bank in 3 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 13 to 44 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 30 ft. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 26 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (19 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Summer | 13 to 44 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (26 ft) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (19 ft) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 30 ft | midday | Shoreline point (19 ft) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Come spring, look for atlantic herring tight to the bank in 5 to 25 ft. They move out to 13 to 44 ft in summer and finish the year down in 13 to 44 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deepest basin: a deep basin around 44 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (8 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 13 to 44 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (44 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (44 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 13 to 44 ft | midday | Deepest basin (44 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Start shallow in spring: european flounder sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 13 to 44 ft. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 26 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bottom jig with spinner blade until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Sharp break (19 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (26 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | Sharp break (26 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 13 to 44 ft | midday | Deepest basin (44 ft) | Small bottom jig |
Come spring, look for garfish tight to the bank in 1 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 13 to 44 ft. Start at Shoreline point. It's a point holding about 19 ft of water and rates good come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & midday | Shoreline point (19 ft) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (19 ft) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (26 ft) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 13 to 44 ft | midday | Deepest basin (44 ft) |
In spring, atlantic salmon run shallow here, mostly 5 to 30 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 13 to 44 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 44 ft. Deepest basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 44 ft, rated prime for summer atlantic salmon. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a trolling spoon or a flasher + fly most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (26 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Trolling spoon |
| Summer | 13 to 44 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (44 ft) | Trolling spoon, Flasher + fly |
| Fall | 4 to 28 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (19 ft) | Casting spoon, Large streamer |
| Winter | 10 to 44 ft | midday | Sharp break (26 ft) | Slow coastal spoon |
In spring, european smelt run shallow here, mostly 3 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 13 to 44 ft before dropping to 13 to 44 ft for winter. Summer european smelt concentrate at Deepest basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 44 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

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 05 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.
