6508-acre Kihelkonna Bay. Sector 09 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 9.5 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Veekogu joonistub 2 633 hektari suurusena, kallast 43 km. Kaldajoon on tugevalt liigestatud (indeks 2.4) — lahed ja neemed igal pool, mis mitmekordistab püütava serva. Umbes 77% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 15 km, kõige laiemas kohas 4.5 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Kihelkonna Bay - Sector 08, 4.8 km loodesse.

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 2.5 to 9.5 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 | Sharp break (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 2.5 to 9.5 m | midday | Deepest basin (9 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 2.5 to 9.5 m | midday & dawn | Deepest basin (9 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 0.5 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 (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

| Sügis | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talv | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (1.5 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Early season zander use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 9.5 m, then a winter hold in 2.5 to 9.5 m. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 6 m that grades prime for fall. 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.

Spring atlantic herring on Kihelkonna Bay - Sector 09 hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 9.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 2.5 to 9.5 m. The chart's best answer is Deepest basin — deep basin, 9 m, prime 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 | 2.5 to 9.5 m | midday | Deepest basin (9 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 1.5 to 9.5 m, wintering in 2.5 to 9.5 m. Spring european flounder concentrate at Feeding flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 3.5 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 2.5 to 9.5 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.

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 09 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.
