8502-acre Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast. Sector 01 Latvia coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 official Latvian LATCHART 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 Latvian WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in Open Baltic Coast. 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 50 ft. 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 follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The outline encloses 8,501 acres, worked by 24.2 miles of shoreline. With a 1.9 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. 30% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 10.8 mi, about 1.7 mi across. Latvian Open Baltic Sandy Coast - Sector 10 sits 10 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
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.

Spring sea trout on Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast - Sector 01 hold shallow, usually 3 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 15 to 50 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 30 ft. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 38 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (11 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (38 ft) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (11 ft) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 30 ft | midday | Shoreline point (11 ft) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Early season atlantic herring use the shallows, holding in 5 to 25 ft. Summer is a 15 to 50 ft game here, winter a 15 to 50 ft one. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 38 ft, good for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a herring feather rig or a small silver jig and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (7 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |

| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (38 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | Sharp break (38 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
In spring, european flounder run shallow here, mostly 5 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 6 to 35 ft before dropping to 15 to 50 ft for winter. Fall european flounder concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 38 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bottom jig with spinner blade most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Sharp break (15 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (15 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |

| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | Sharp break (38 ft) | Small bottom jig |
Spring garfish on Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast - Sector 01 hold shallow, usually 1 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 2 to 20 ft, and by winter most fish are in 15 to 50 ft. The chart's best answer is Shoreline point — point, 11 ft, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & midday | Shoreline point (11 ft) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic salmon in 5 to 30 ft. As the season builds they drop to 14 to 50 ft, wintering in 10 to 45 ft. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 38 ft range, good in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a trolling spoon or a flasher + fly gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |

Maritime Administration of Latvia national ports review was reviewed, but no stable government record establishes a public fishing entrance, parking or launch for this exact mapped child. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, port and harbour rules, protected areas, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Latvia waters are set by the Latvijas Vēstnesis (current Latvia angling, crayfish and underwater-hunting rules) — and special regulations can apply to Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast - Sector 01 specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check the live Latvian rules and current Ministry notices before every Baltic Sea or Gulf of Riga trip. Angling-card requirements, coastal hook limits, species possession limits, seasonal protections, eel closures, river-mouth exclusion radii, licensed waters, nature protections, port directions and safe shoreline access can apply. The statutory towpath right is not a promise of a usable entrance, parking or permission through private or working-port land. A hydrographic contour or fishing-spot marker never grants fishing, retention, access or navigation permission.

Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast - Sector 01 is about 50 ft (15 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.
