25,212-acre Hara and Kolga Bay. North West 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 115 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 follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Kaardil katab Hara and Kolga Bay - North West 10 202 hektarit, kaldajoont 46.2 km. Nõgu on lihtne (kaldaindeks 1.3) — peaaegu kauss, seega sügavusjooned loevad rohkem kui kallas. Umbes 0% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 17.5 km, kõige laiemas kohas 10.9 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Muuga-Tallinn-Kakumäe Bay - Sector 04, 6.4 km edelasse.

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.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Hooaeg | Sügavus | Parim aeg | Alusta siit | Landid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Suvi | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | open water | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 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. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.

Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 11 m, and winter fish settle into 6 to 12 m. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Talv | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Slow blade bait |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic herring in 1.5 to 7.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 4.5 to 15 m, wintering in 6 to 18 m. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a herring feather rig or a small silver jig gets it done.

When the water first warms, european flounder slide up into 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. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a bottom jig with spinner blade rigged through the warm months.

In spring, sea trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 6 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 15 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 9 m. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon most summer days.

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 Hara and Kolga Bay - North West 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.
