7673-acre Polish Gotland 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 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 05 maps at 7,673 acres behind 22.1 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 29% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 9.7 mi long by 1.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. If the bite dies, Polish Gotland Basin Coastal Waters - Sector 04 is 10 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. They move out to 15 to 50 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 30 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 32 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is 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 (17 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (32 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 |
Come spring, look for atlantic herring tight to the bank in 5 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 15 to 50 ft, then a winter hold in 16 to 52 ft. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 32 ft of water and rates good come summer. Prime time lands in 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 (4 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (32 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (32 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 16 to 52 ft | midday | Sharp break (32 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Start shallow in spring: european flounder sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 35 ft, and winter fish settle into 15 to 50 ft. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 32 ft of water that rates prime for european flounder in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. 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 | open water | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (32 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | Sharp break (32 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | Sharp break (32 ft) | Small bottom jig |
Come spring, look for garfish tight to the bank in 1 to 15 ft. They move out to 2 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 16 to 52 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline point: a point around 17 ft that scores good in summer. Best bite is 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 (17 ft) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (17 ft) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (32 ft) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 16 to 52 ft | midday | Sharp break (32 ft) |
In spring, atlantic salmon run shallow here, mostly 5 to 30 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 15 to 52 ft before dropping to 10 to 45 ft for winter. Winter atlantic salmon concentrate at Sharp break, a good-rated drop-off around 32 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. 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 (32 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Trolling spoon |

Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 32 ft, rated good for fall european smelt. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | night & dusk | open water | Micro silver jig, Tiny feather rig |

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 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.
