4681-acre Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters. Sector 01 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 50 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 4,681 acres, worked by 16.7 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.7) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 29% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 7 mi end to end and 1.7 mi across at its widest. Its nearest charted neighbour, Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 07, is 5 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.

When the water first warms, sea trout slide up into 3 to 20 ft. Summer is a 15 to 50 ft game here, winter a 5 to 30 ft one. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 27 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (18 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (27 ft) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (18 ft) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 30 ft | midday | Shoreline point (18 ft) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
When the water first warms, atlantic herring slide up into 5 to 25 ft. By summer they slide out to 15 to 50 ft, and by winter most fish are in 15 to 50 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deepest basin: a deep basin around 47 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a herring feather rig or a small silver jig rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (7 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (47 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (27 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | Deepest basin (47 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european flounder in 5 to 25 ft. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 35 ft, wintering in 15 to 50 ft. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 27 ft range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bottom jig with spinner blade gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Sharp break (22 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (27 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | Sharp break (27 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | Deepest basin (47 ft) | Small bottom jig |
When the water first warms, garfish slide up into 1 to 15 ft. Summer is a 2 to 20 ft game here, winter a 15 to 50 ft one. Start at Shoreline point. It's a point holding about 18 ft of water and rates good come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & midday | Shoreline point (18 ft) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (18 ft) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (27 ft) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | Deepest basin (47 ft) |
Spring puts atlantic salmon in skinny water — 5 to 30 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 14 to 50 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 45 ft. Deepest basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 47 ft, rated prime for summer atlantic salmon. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A trolling spoon or a flasher + fly covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (27 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Trolling spoon |

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 Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 01 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.

Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 01 is about 50 ft (15 m) deep at its deepest point. 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.
Official coastal monitoring from Poland national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the sea trout, atlantic herring, european flounder, garfish, atlantic salmon, european smelt, european perch, zander roster for Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 01. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Sharp break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 27 ft of water that rates prime for sea trout in summer. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For sea trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 01 is regulated by the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (current recreational marine-fishing rules).
