7826-acre Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters. Sector 04 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 04 runs 7,827 acres with 23.7 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.9) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 34% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 10 mi with a 1.9-mi widest point. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 05, 10 mi east of here.
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.

Spring puts sea trout in skinny water — 3 to 20 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 15 to 50 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 30 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 39 ft, rated prime for summer sea trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon covers the summer program.
| 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 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (39 ft) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (17 ft) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 30 ft | midday | Shoreline point (17 ft) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Start shallow in spring: atlantic herring sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 15 to 50 ft; cold water stacks them in 16 to 52 ft. Top water on the chart: Deepest basin, a deep basin in the 51 ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a herring feather rig or a small silver jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

Come spring, look for european flounder tight to the bank in 5 to 25 ft. They move out to 6 to 35 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 50 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 39 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bottom jig with spinner blade is the honest summer answer here.

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 04 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.
