741-acre river near West-Terschelling. The water tops out around 24 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Terschelling Coast maps at 740 acres behind 6.3 miles of shoreline. With a 1.7 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Roughly 91% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 2.9 mi end to end and 0.9 mi across at its widest.

Early season atlantic herring use the shallows, holding in 5 to 24 ft. Even in summer they hold at 7 to 24 ft; winter keeps them in 7 to 24 ft. The chart's best answer is Measured deep-water holding area — deep basin, 24 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a herring feather rig or a small silver jig and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 24 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (3 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 7 to 24 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured deep-water holding area (24 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 6 to 24 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured deep-water holding area (24 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
