2,271-acre river near West-Terschelling. The water tops out around 75 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 2,270 acres, worked by 8.8 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 74% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 3.9 mi, about 1.4 mi across. If the bite dies, Terschelling Coast is 6 mi to the southeast.

Come spring, look for atlantic herring tight to the bank in 5 to 25 ft. They move out to 15 to 50 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 60 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Measured deep-water holding area: a deep basin around 75 ft that scores good in winter. Best bite is 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 | Measured shallow feeding flat (14 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured deep-water holding area (75 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured deep-water holding area (75 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | Measured deep-water holding area (75 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Start shallow in spring: european flounder sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 50 ft. Top water on the chart: Measured shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in the 14 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. 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 | Measured shallow feeding flat (14 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (14 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (14 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | Measured shallow feeding flat (14 ft) | Small bottom jig |
Come spring, look for garfish tight to the bank in 1 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 60 ft. Start at Measured deep-water holding area. It's a deep basin holding about 75 ft of water and rates good come winter. Prime time lands in 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 | open water | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | Measured deep-water holding area (75 ft) |
