835-acre river near Cadzand. The water tops out around 79 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.
Zeeuws-Vlaanderen Coast maps at 833 acres behind 9 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 2.2, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 73% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 4.3 mi with a 0.9-mi widest point. Its nearest charted neighbour, Walcheren Coast, is 11 mi to the north.

When the water first warms, atlantic herring slide up into 5 to 25 ft. Summer is a 15 to 50 ft game here, winter a 20 to 60 ft one. Start at Measured shallow feeding flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 14 ft of water and rates good come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a herring feather rig or a small silver jig rigged through the warm months.
| 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 (79 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Measured deep-water holding area (79 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | Measured deep-water holding area (79 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european flounder in 5 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 6 to 35 ft before dropping to 15 to 50 ft for winter. The spot to know is Measured shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for european flounder in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bottom jig with spinner blade gets it done.
| 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 |
When the water first warms, garfish slide up into 1 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 2 to 20 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 60 ft. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | open water |
