27,641-acre Kassari-Õunaku 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 West Estonian Archipelago. 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 7 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 Kassari-Õunaku Bay - Central East 11 194 hektarit, kaldajoont 80.1 km. Kaldajoon on mõõdukalt liigestatud (indeks 2.1). Umbes 69% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 16.1 km, kõige laiemas kohas 13 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Kassari-Õunaku Bay - North East, 9.7 km põhja poole.

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. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 7 m before dropping to 2 to 7 m for winter. Spring european perch concentrate at Weed flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1.5 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.

In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Weed flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. 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. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 7 m before dropping to 2 to 7 m for winter. Fall zander concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 5 m. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 7 m, and winter fish hold in 2 to 7 m. Deepest basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 7 m, rated prime for summer atlantic herring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig covers the summer program.

Spring european flounder on Kassari-Õunaku Bay - Central East hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 7 m. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 7 m in summer, 2 to 7 m once it turns cold. Put Feeding flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 4 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run 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. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 7 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 7 m. Top water on the chart: Rock reef, a rock pile in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. 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 Kassari-Õunaku 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.

Weed flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 5 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each 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 Kassari-Õunaku 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.
