52,758-acre Rügen. East Coast North Germany saltwater fishing map with official BSH 50 m seabed bathymetry, source-qualified fishing spots, official German fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public shore-use context and current-rule links. Rügen. East Coast North. Rügen's east coast around Sassnitz, with chalk headlands, reefs and deep water close to shore. The water tops out around 31 m. The depth chart comes from Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 21 341 Hektar mit 62 km Ufer. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.2) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 0% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 22.9 km, an der breitesten Stelle 16.4 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Jasmunder Bodden - East, 11.3 km Richtung Westen.

Regional occurrence supports search targets, not equal abundance, a child-specific catch rate, retention permission or a promised catch. Baltic cod is intentionally excluded because targeted recreational fishing is prohibited in 2026; live state and federal rules 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 sea trout on Rügen - East Coast North hold shallow, usually 1 to 6 m. They move out to 4.5 to 15 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 9 m. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 18 m that grades good for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (18 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | open water | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Early season atlantic herring use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 7.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 15 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 18 m. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 18 m that grades good for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a herring feather rig or a small silver jig and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (16 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (18 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
In spring, european flounder run shallow here, mostly 1.5 to 7.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 11 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 15 m. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 18 m, rated good for winter european flounder. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bottom jig with spinner blade most summer days.

| Winter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | Sharp break (18 m) | Small bottom jig |
Spring garfish on Rügen - East Coast North hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 4.5 m. They move out to 0.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 18 m. Put Official-grid current seam first on the milk run — a current seam near 16 m that grades good for winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly.

When the water first warms, european plaice slide up into 2.5 to 11 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 12 m, and by winter most fish are in 7.5 to 24 m. If you only fish one area, make it Official-grid channel edge: a channel edge around 16 m that scores good in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace rigged through the warm months.
