The water here is 3.1 °C warmer than the October average of 11.7 °C. Warmer-than-normal water pushes cool-water species deeper and brings warm-water species in earlier than the calendar suggests. The water is mixed to about 65.0 m, so surface temperature carries well down the water column.

Local regulations

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
SpeciesBag limitMin sizeOpen season
Atlantic Cod§ 4 Nr. 3 KüFVO M-V (35 cm), superseded for 2026 by Council Regulation (EU) 2025/2454 Art. 10(1)PROHIBITED — retention banned — Council Regulation (EU) 2025/2454, Article 10(1): "Recreational fisheries of cod shall be prohibited in subdivisions 22 to 32. Any specimen of cod caught accidentally shall be immediately released back into the sea." The German Baltic is ICES subdivisions 22–24; the by-catch retention allowed by Article 10(2) applies only in subdivisions 27 to 32 and therefore NOT in M-V.
RECREATIONAL COD FISHING IS BANNED IN THE WHOLE BALTIC FOR 2026 — this is the single most expensive rule to get wrong on the M-V coast. Regulation (EU) 2025/2454 applies from 1 January to 31 December 2026 and is directly applicable; no German implementing act is needed. § 4 Nr. 3 KüFVO M-V still prints a 35 cm minimum size for Dorsch and the LALLF table still prints a 15.01.–31.03. closed season, but both are superseded for 2026 by the EU ban, which LALLF itself flags with footnote ****. A cod taken accidentally must go straight back. The rule is annual: re-check before the 2027 season.
European Flounder§ 4 Nr. 4 KüFVO M-V—min 25 cmJan 1 – Dec 31
25 cm in the Küstengewässer. No closed season and no daily cap in the KüFVO. Flounder is absent from the BiFVO inland lists.

Licensing:

  • combined — residents Fischereischein auf Lebenszeit, issued by the local Ordnungsbehörde after passing the Fischereischeinprüfung (exam fee 15 EUR under 18, 25 EUR over 18; licence issue 8 EUR). It is only valid for a given year once the annual Fischereiabgabemarke (10 EUR) is affixed. Compulsory from the completed 14th year of age. On the Küstengewässer an Angelerlaubnis is additionally required: 30 EUR/year (10 EUR under 18), 12 EUR/week, 6 EUR/day. On Binnengewässer the Angelerlaubnis comes from whoever holds the fishing right for that water and its Gewässerordnung can be stricter than this pack., non-residents Touristenfischereischein — a time-limited exception from the exam requirement, valid up to 28 days and renewable within the same calendar year. 24 EUR on paper including the mandatory briefing brochure and the Fischereiabgabemarke, 23 EUR digital, 13 EUR for a renewal certificate. Available from local Ordnungsbehörden and online at erlaubnis.angeln-mv.de. Holders of a valid Fischereischein from another Bundesland or state are exempt from the M-V Fischereiabgabe if they can show the abgabe paid at home.
  • combined — residents A Fischereischein is required to fish, and it is issued only after passing the Fischerprüfung. In addition, a Fischereierlaubnisschein for the specific water is required — the Fischereischein alone does not entitle you to fish anywhere. Both must be carried. Rules, fees and the minimum age are set by each Bundesland., non-residents Visitors need the same two documents. Several Bundesländer issue a short-term Touristenfischereischein or Urlauberfischereischein without the examination — Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Brandenburg among them — but not all do, and the conditions differ. Check the Land you intend to fish in before travelling.
