Fishing guidesHotel listOther things to doHow to reach the area

This western subsection of the Gulf of Gdańsk, positioned on the Southern coast of the Baltic Sea, is one of the most unique and tourist-attracting areas of the Baltic Sea Region. A vital reason for that is its seclusion from the open sea by the picturesque Hel Peninsula – a 34km-long, crescent-shaped sandbank, arcing out into the Baltic.

Enjoy the stunning views, wild and monumental nature of Northern Kashubia, visit the coastal towns of Hel, Władysławowo, Puck, Jurata, or Jastarnia to experience the local culture and its appetizing cuisine. The easily accessible Puck Bay offers you amazing fishing tour opportunities and wide range of water sports – from sailing to windsurfing and kitesurfing.

THE FISHING AREAS AND OFFERS

Every year the Gulf of Gdansk is attracting more and more visitors from the most remote places in the world, who come here to experience unforgettable connection with wild nature and relax, often by means of fishing tours to the deep sea waters. Salmon trolling has increased greatly over the past years, and based on this experience we can safely say, that a successful big fish catch and a memorable time is guaranteed!

Fishing varies depending on the season and locality. Salmon and sea trout fishing is performed almost all your round – though autumn and winter seasons are recommended only for extreme fishing enthusiasts! More and more popular garfish can be caught here from mid-May to mid-June.

During one day trips, the organizers provide real adventure and give their best to assure your fishing is successful. All tours are organized by licensed English-speaking fishing guides on well-equipped and modern vessels, departing from the major ports of the Puck Bay, such as Hel, Jastarnia, Ustka and Władysławowo. Depending on the weather conditions and appetite, each of the customers of the “big fish” trip has an opportunity to prepare a meal with trophies they’ve caught, in the company of a professional cook. Nearby hotels with parking space and catering options are at the disposal of guests at any time.

The daily cost of renting a boat with complete fishing equipment, insurance, and the company of a guide, ranges from approx. 180 EUR (sea trout) to 400 EUR (10 hrs salmon fishing tours for groups of four).

We believe in ethical, sustainable fishing and giving back to the nature. By choosing our BSF services, you support restoration of the local fish stock!

WE GIVE BACK TO BALTIC SEA FISH POPULATIONS

The BSF fishing guides in actively support measures to improve natural production of coastal and migratory fish by earmarked funds derived from fishing tourism to local fish conservation measures. BSF stems from the EU-funded Retrout project that currently are improving the habitats and fishing production in 12 Baltic Sea rivers. Other improvement measures, such as construction of suitable wetlands for fish reproduction and river watch (guarding) activities are also conducted.
