7990-acre Polish Gotland 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 drawn water covers 7,991 acres wrapped in 24.7 miles of bank. With a 2 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 34% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 10.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 1.7 mi at the beam. Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 04 sits 10 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
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. Expect a summer slide to 15 to 49 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 30 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 42 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 (2 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Summer | 15 to 49 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (42 ft) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (16 ft) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 30 ft | midday | Shoreline point (16 ft) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Spring atlantic herring on Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 03 hold shallow, usually 5 to 25 ft. They move out to 15 to 49 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 49 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 42 ft that grades good for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a herring feather rig or a small silver jig.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (6 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |

Spring puts european flounder in skinny water — 5 to 25 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 49 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 32 ft, rated prime for fall european flounder. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bottom jig with spinner blade covers the summer program.

| Winter | 15 to 49 ft | midday | Sharp break (42 ft) | Small bottom jig |
Early season garfish use the shallows, holding in 1 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 49 ft. Put Shoreline point first on the milk run — a point near 16 ft that grades good for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & midday | Shoreline point (16 ft) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |

Start shallow in spring: atlantic salmon sit in 5 to 30 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 14 to 49 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 45 ft. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 42 ft of water that rates good for atlantic salmon in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a trolling spoon or a flasher + fly until the fish tell you otherwise.

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 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.

Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 03 is about 49 ft (15 m) deep at its deepest point.

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 03. 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 42 ft of water that rates prime for sea trout in summer. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each 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.
