2679-acre Hara and Kolga Bay. Central 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 94 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Veekogu joonistub 1 085 hektari suurusena, kallast 16.9 km. Nõgu on lihtne (kaldaindeks 1.4) — peaaegu kauss, seega sügavusjooned loevad rohkem kui kallas. Umbes 19% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 6 km, kõige laiemas kohas 3.7 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Muuga-Tallinn-Kakumäe Bay - Sector 08, 8 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.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Weed flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Hooaeg | Sügavus | Parim aeg | Alusta siit | Landid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1 m) | 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 |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Weed flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.

| Kevad | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

| Talv | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (1 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Early season zander use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 11 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 12 m. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait and you're in the game.

| Talv | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Slow blade bait |
Spring atlantic herring on Hara and Kolga Bay - Central West hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 15 m, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 18 m. The chart's best answer is Weed flat — weed flat, 1 m, good for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a herring feather rig or a small silver jig.

Spring puts european flounder in skinny water — 1.5 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 11 m, wintering in 4.5 to 15 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bottom jig with spinner blade covers the summer program.

Early season sea trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 6 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 15 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 9 m one. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon and you're in the game.

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 - Central 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.

Hara and Kolga Bay - Central West is about 310 ft (94 m) deep at its deepest point. 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.
