21,675-acre Eru-Käsmu Bay. Central East Estonia coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 official Estonian E50M hydrographic DTM / traceable CDI assessed contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Estonian WFD named coastal assessment water in Eastern Gulf of Finland. This child is clipped to the exact source polygon and a trip-scale ownership window. Coverage classes and uncertainty limits are disclosed; this is a fishing-planning chart, not a navigation chart or catch forecast. The water tops out around 78 m. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Kaardil katab Eru-Käsmu Bay - Central East 8 776 hektarit, kaldajoont 43.3 km. Nõgu on lihtne (kaldaindeks 1.3) — peaaegu kauss, seega sügavusjooned loevad rohkem kui kallas. Umbes 6% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 13.5 km, kõige laiemas kohas 8.7 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Eru-Käsmu Bay - Central, 9.7 km läände.

Occurrence evidence does not promise a catch or establish that retention is legal. Current seasons, closures, protected species, gear rules and local restrictions always control. The roster may combine exact-water monitoring with habitat-filtered official regional evidence; it does not imply that every species is equally abundant throughout the mapped section.

In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. Weed flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1.5 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.

| Kevad | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |

| Talv | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Spring northern pike concentrate at Weed flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.

In spring, zander run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 11 m, and winter fish settle into 6 to 12 m. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 11 m, rated prime for fall zander. Time it for the evening and early morning. You won't need more than a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait most summer days.

Spring puts atlantic herring in skinny water — 1.5 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 4.5 to 15 m, wintering in 6 to 18 m. Summer atlantic herring concentrate at Sharp break, a good-rated drop-off around 11 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig covers the summer program.

Spring european flounder on Eru-Käsmu Bay - Central East hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2 to 11 m, and by winter most fish are in 4.5 to 15 m. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 11 m, prime for fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bottom jig with spinner blade.

Start shallow in spring: sea trout sit in 1 to 6 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 15 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 9 m. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 11 m of water that rates prime for sea trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Estonia waters are set by the Keskkonnaamet (Estonian Environmental Board coastal fishing rules) — and special regulations can apply to Eru-Käsmu Bay - Central East specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Before every Estonian coastal trip, check the current Keskkonnaamet fishing-right requirements, protected-species rules, seasonal closures, river-mouth restrictions, minimum sizes, gear limits and any area-specific conservation measures. A mapped contour, fishing-spot marker, species roster or nearby harbour is planning context only. It never grants fishing or retention rights, shoreline entry, parking, launching access, permission to enter a port, or safe-navigation clearance; local signs, land ownership, weather, ice and vessel traffic still control.
