Cod in the Western Baltic Sea

Catch restrictions

Restrictions for 2024
01/01 - 31/12: Catching cod is prohibited!

Please note
After several years with restrictions on cod fishing, where it was allowed in 2023 to bring home 1 cod per angler per day in the period from April 1 to January 14, it is forbidden from January 1, 2024, for recreational anglers in the Western Baltic Sea to catch cod.

It is not a closed season imposed by the Danish authorities, but rather a catch restriction set by the EU, which applies to sub-areas 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26.
