7840-acre Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters. Sector 02 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 52 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
On the chart, Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 02 draws 7,841 acres inside 23.5 miles of shoreline. Index 1.9 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 36% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 10.1 mi, about 1.7 mi across. The nearest mapped water is Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 01, 8 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.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: sea trout in 3 to 20 ft. As the season builds they drop to 15 to 50 ft, wintering in 5 to 30 ft. Top water on the chart: Rock reef, a rock pile in the 3 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon gets it done.
| 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 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (47 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 | Rock reef (10 ft) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
In spring, atlantic herring run shallow here, mostly 5 to 25 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 15 to 50 ft, and winter fish settle into 16 to 52 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 47 ft, rated good for summer atlantic herring. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a herring feather rig or a small silver jig most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (10 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (47 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (38 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 16 to 52 ft | midday | Sharp break (47 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Early season european flounder use the shallows, holding in 5 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 6 to 35 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 50 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 38 ft that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bottom jig with spinner blade and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | open water | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (38 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | Sharp break (38 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | Sharp break (47 ft) | Small bottom jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: garfish in 1 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 20 ft, wintering in 16 to 52 ft. Top water on the chart: Shoreline point, a point in the 19 ft range, good in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly gets it done.
| 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 | Shoreline point (19 ft) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 16 to 52 ft | midday | Sharp break (47 ft) |
Come spring, look for atlantic salmon tight to the bank in 5 to 30 ft. They move out to 15 to 52 ft in summer and finish the year down in 10 to 45 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 38 ft that scores good in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A trolling spoon or a flasher + fly is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (19 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Trolling spoon |
| Summer | 15 to 52 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (47 ft) | Trolling spoon, Flasher + fly |
| Fall | 4 to 28 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (19 ft) | Casting spoon, Large streamer |
| Winter | 10 to 45 ft | midday | Sharp break (38 ft) | Slow coastal spoon |
Early season european smelt use the shallows, holding in 3 to 25 ft. Summer is a 16 to 52 ft game here, winter a 16 to 52 ft one. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 47 ft, good for fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig and you're in the game.

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 02 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 02 is about 52 ft (16 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 02. 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.
Rock reef is the top-rated area: a rock pile in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for sea trout in spring. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
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.
