67,588-acre Usedom Coast. West 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 western Usedom Baltic shore, with sand bars and the Peenestrom exchange zone. The water tops out around 20 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 rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Das Gewässer zeichnet 27 358 Hektar mit 72.9 km Ufer, mit einer Insel im Wasser. Das Becken ist einfach (Uferindex 1.2) — fast eine Schüssel, die Tiefenlinien zählen mehr als das Ufer. Etwa 2% der Fläche sind flacher als ~5 m — dort leben Kraut und Beutefische. Von Ende zu Ende misst das Gewässer rund 25.1 km, an der breitesten Stelle 22.2 km. Das nächste kartierte Gewässer ist Greifswald Bay - Outer, 16.1 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 Usedom Coast - West hold shallow, usually 1 to 6 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 15 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 9 m. The chart's best answer is Rock reef — rock pile, 1 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in 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 | Rock reef (1 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommer | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Herbst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (7 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Rock reef (1 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Early season atlantic herring use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 15 m game here, winter a 6 to 18 m one. The chart's best answer is Deepest basin — deep basin, 20 m, good for winter. 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.
| Saison | Tiefe | Beste Zeit | Einstieg | Köder |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frühling | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Official-grid current seam (8 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |

| Winter | 6 to 18 m | midday | Deepest basin (20 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
In spring, european flounder run shallow here, mostly 1.5 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 11 m before dropping to 4.5 to 15 m for winter. Summer european flounder concentrate at Feeding flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 8 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bottom jig with spinner blade most summer days.

| Winter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Small bottom jig |
Spring garfish on Usedom Coast - West hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 4.5 m. By summer they slide out to 0.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 18 m. The chart's best answer is Official-grid shoal — gravel shoal, 4 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly.

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 - West 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.
