12,151-acre Hara and Kolga 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 53 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Veekogu joonistub 4 917 hektari suurusena, kallast 47.8 km. Kaldajoon on mõõdukalt liigestatud (indeks 1.9). Umbes 22% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 15.9 km, kõige laiemas kohas 9.7 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Lohja järv, 6.4 km itta.

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.

When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 m one. Start at Weed flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.

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

Spring northern pike on Hara and Kolga Bay - Central East hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Weed flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 0.5 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.

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

| Talv | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (2 m) | Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, zander slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 11 m game here, winter a 6 to 12 m one. Start at Offshore hump. It's an offshore hump holding about 6.5 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait rigged through the warm months.

| Kevad | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (2 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |

| Sügis | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (9.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talv | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (6.5 m) | Slow blade bait |
Come spring, look for atlantic herring tight to the bank in 1.5 to 7.5 m. They move out to 4.5 to 15 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 18 m. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 9.5 m that scores good in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig is the honest summer answer here.

Start shallow in spring: european flounder sit in 1.5 to 7.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 11 m; cold water stacks them in 4.5 to 15 m. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 9.5 m range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bottom jig with spinner blade until the fish tell you otherwise.

Come spring, look for sea trout tight to the bank in 1 to 6 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 15 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 9 m. Start at Rock reef. It's a rock pile holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon is the honest summer answer here.

Hara and Kolga Bay - Central East also holds european whitefish (8.5 to 24 m in summer), atlantic salmon (6 to 21 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
Hara and Kolga Bay - Central East carries 15 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deepest basin, about 50 m down.
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 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.

Official coastal monitoring from Estonia national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european perch, northern pike, zander, atlantic herring, european flounder, sea trout, european whitefish, atlantic salmon roster for Hara and Kolga Bay - Central East. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Weed flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Hara and Kolga Bay - Central East is regulated by the Keskkonnaamet (Estonian Environmental Board coastal fishing rules). Check the official Estonia regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
