725-acre river near De Koog. The water tops out around 40 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Texel Coast maps at 724 acres behind 4.4 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 72% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 1.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 1.4 mi at the beam. Marsdiep Offshore sits 6 mi west — the closest neighbouring chart.

Early season atlantic herring use the shallows, holding in 5 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 12 to 40 ft, then a winter hold in 12 to 40 ft. Put Measured deep-water holding area first on the milk run — a deep basin near 40 ft that grades prime for summer. 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (17 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 12 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured deep-water holding area (40 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured deep-water holding area (40 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 12 to 40 ft | midday | Measured deep-water holding area (40 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
In spring, european flounder run shallow here, mostly 5 to 25 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 35 ft, and winter fish settle into 12 to 40 ft. Measured shallow feeding flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 17 ft, rated prime for spring 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (17 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (17 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | Measured shallow feeding flat (17 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 12 to 40 ft | midday | Measured deep-water holding area (40 ft) | Small bottom jig |
Spring garfish on Texel Coast hold shallow, usually 1 to 15 ft. They move out to 2 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 12 to 40 ft. Put Measured deep-water holding area first on the milk run — a deep basin near 40 ft that grades prime 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.
| 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 | 12 to 40 ft | midday | Measured deep-water holding area (40 ft) |
