44,995-acre Usedom Coast. East 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. The eastern Usedom and German Pomeranian Bay shore, with harbor approaches and broad sand contours. The water tops out around 16 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 18 244 Hektar mit 99.1 km Ufer. Die Uferlinie ist mäßig gegliedert (Index 2.1) — genug Landzungen und Buchten zum Abfischen. Etwa 2% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 37.2 km, an der breitesten Stelle 15.8 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Usedom Coast - West, 17.7 km Richtung Nordwesten.

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.

When the water first warms, sea trout slide up into 1 to 6 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 15 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 9 m one. Start at Rock reef. It's a rock pile holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (1 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (8 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid point (5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Official-grid point (5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
When the water first warms, atlantic herring slide up into 1.5 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 15 m, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 16 m. If you only fish one area, make it Deepest basin: a deep basin around 16 m that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a herring feather rig or a small silver jig rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (6.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (16 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Herbst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (6.5 m) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 16 m | midday | Deepest basin (16 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european flounder in 1.5 to 7.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 11 m, wintering in 4.5 to 15 m. Top water on the chart: Feeding flat, a feeding flat in the 6 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bottom jig with spinner blade gets it done.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk | Feeding flat (6 m) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Sommer | 2 to 11 m | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (6 m) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Sharp break (8 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | Sharp break (8 m) | Small bottom jig |
When the water first warms, garfish slide up into 0.5 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 0.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 5 to 16 m one. Start at Official-grid shoal. It's a gravel shoal holding about 3.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly rigged through the warm months.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 0.5 to 4.5 m | dawn & midday | Official-grid shoal (3.5 m) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Sommer | 0.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid point (5 m) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Herbst | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (6.5 m) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 5 to 16 m | midday | Deepest basin (16 m) |
Early season european plaice use the shallows, holding in 2.5 to 11 m. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 12 m, then a winter hold in 5 to 16 m. Put Feeding flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 6 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 2.5 to 11 m | dusk | Feeding flat (6 m) | Beaded flowing trace |
| Sommer | 2 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (6 m) | Light spooned bottom rig, Beaded trace |
| Herbst | 3 to 15 m | dusk | Official-grid channel edge (8 m) | Beaded bottom trace |
| Winter | 5 to 16 m | midday | Deepest basin (16 m) |
Early season whiting use the shallows, holding in 4.5 to 16 m. Even in summer they hold at 4.5 to 16 m; winter keeps them in 3.5 to 16 m. Put Official-grid channel edge first on the milk run — a channel edge near 8 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a small vertical jig and you're in the game.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 4.5 to 16 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid channel edge (8 m) | Small silver jig, Two-hook feather rig |

Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Germany waters are set by the LALLF Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Angelfischerei) — and special regulations can apply to Usedom Coast - East specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern coastal fishing requires the applicable fishing documents and compliance with current coastal species, size, season and protected-area rules. Check the live LALLF guidance, local fishery rights, harbour and navigation restrictions, nature-reserve controls, shore access and posted signs before every trip; a DepthScout contour or access lead is never legal permission.
