Polish Baltic Coast

Pomerania, Poland · Saltwater · Intermediate

Long sand beaches and shallow bars along the Polish Baltic, with sea trout patrolling close inshore. Best in the cold months when few anglers are on the beach.

Getting there & access

  • Fish from: land-based or boat

The Main Inspectorate of Sea Fisheries (GIRM) issues recreational sea fishing rights by payment rather than a paper permit: weekly, monthly and annual options exist, validity starts on the day the payment is made, and you must carry an identity document and proof of payment. GIRM also requires some catches to be reported. Check the GIRM page for the current payment procedure and any catch-reporting duties before fishing.
