31,781-acre Kihelkonna Bay. Sector 01 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 Gulf of Riga. 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 37 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 season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Veekogu joonistub 12 855 hektari suurusena, kallast 64.2 km. Kaldajoon on mõõdukalt liigestatud (indeks 1.6). Umbes 20% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 16.9 km, kõige laiemas kohas 14.3 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Soela strait - Sector 10, 11.3 km kirdesse.

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 2 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 (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Suvi | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Sharp break (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (9 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (10 m) | 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 2 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 (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

| Sügis | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talv | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (2 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. Put Offshore hump first on the milk run — an offshore hump near 10 m that grades prime for summer. 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.

| Sügis | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (11 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talv | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (10 m) | Slow blade bait |
Spring atlantic herring on Kihelkonna Bay - Sector 01 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 Sharp break — drop-off, 11 m, good for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a herring feather rig or a small silver jig.

| Talv | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (11 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
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. Spring european flounder concentrate at Feeding flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 7.5 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. The chart's best answer is Rock reef — rock pile, 1 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon and you're in the game.

| Kevad | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (1 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |

| Sügis | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Talv | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Shoreline point (5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Kihelkonna Bay - Sector 01 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.
21 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deepest basin, around 36 m, is the deepest of them.
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 Kihelkonna Bay - Sector 01 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 Kihelkonna Bay - Sector 01. 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 6 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.
