9376-acre Pomeranian Bay 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 49 ft. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Traced from the shoreline, Pomeranian Bay Coastal Waters - Sector 04 runs 9,376 acres with 29.8 miles of edge. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.2) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. 28% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 11.1 mi with a 4-mi widest point. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Schwarzer See, 7 mi west 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.

In spring, sea trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 20 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 15 to 49 ft before dropping to 5 to 30 ft for winter. Summer sea trout concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 24 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (16 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Summer | 15 to 49 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (24 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 |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic herring in 5 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 15 to 49 ft before dropping to 15 to 49 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deepest basin, a deep basin in about 49 ft of water that rates prime for atlantic herring in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a herring feather rig or a small silver jig gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (5 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 49 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (49 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (10 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 15 to 49 ft | midday | Deepest basin (49 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
When the water first warms, european flounder slide up into 5 to 25 ft. Summer is a 6 to 35 ft game here, winter a 15 to 49 ft one. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 10 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bottom jig with spinner blade rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Sharp break (10 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (10 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | Sharp break (10 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 15 to 49 ft | midday | Deepest basin (49 ft) | Small bottom jig |
In spring, garfish run shallow here, mostly 1 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 20 ft before dropping to 15 to 49 ft for winter. Spring garfish concentrate at Shoreline point, a prime-rated point around 5 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & midday | Shoreline point (5 ft) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (16 ft) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (10 ft) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 15 to 49 ft | midday | Deepest basin (49 ft) |
Early season atlantic salmon use the shallows, holding in 5 to 30 ft. Expect a summer slide to 14 to 49 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 45 ft. Put Deepest basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 49 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolling spoon or a flasher + fly and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (10 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Trolling spoon |
| Summer | 14 to 49 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (49 ft) | Trolling spoon, Flasher + fly |
| Fall | 4 to 28 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (16 ft) | Casting spoon, Large streamer |
| Winter | 10 to 45 ft | midday | Sharp break (10 ft) | Slow coastal spoon |
Come spring, look for european smelt tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 15 to 49 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 49 ft. Start at Deepest basin. It's a deep basin holding about 49 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | night & dusk | Sharp break (10 ft) | Micro silver jig, Tiny feather rig |
| Summer | 15 to 49 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (49 ft) | Tiny vertical spoon, Micro jig |
| Fall | 13 to 49 ft | dusk | Deepest basin (49 ft) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 15 to 49 ft | dusk | Deepest basin (49 ft) | Tiny glow jig, Micro ice 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 Pomeranian Bay 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.

Pomeranian Bay Coastal Waters - Sector 04 is about 49 ft (15 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
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 Pomeranian Bay Coastal Waters - Sector 04. 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 24 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.
Fishing on Pomeranian Bay Coastal Waters - Sector 04 is regulated by the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (current recreational marine-fishing rules).
