8989-acre Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast. Sector 02 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 39 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast - Sector 02 draws 8,989 acres inside 25.3 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.9) — enough points and pockets to pattern. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 27% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 11.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 1.6 mi at the beam.

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, sea trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 20 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 12 to 39 ft before dropping to 5 to 30 ft for winter. Spring sea trout concentrate at Rock reef, a prime-rated rock pile around 4 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (4 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Summer | 12 to 39 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (17 ft) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (15 ft) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 30 ft | midday | Rock reef (4 ft) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic herring in 5 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 12 to 39 ft before dropping to 12 to 39 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deepest basin, a deep basin in about 33 ft of water that rates prime for atlantic herring in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a herring feather rig or a small silver jig gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (4 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 12 to 39 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (33 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 39 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (33 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 12 to 39 ft | midday | Deepest basin (33 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
When the water first warms, european flounder slide up into 5 to 25 ft. Summer is a 6 to 35 ft game here, winter a 12 to 39 ft one. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 17 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bottom jig with spinner blade rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Sharp break (17 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (17 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 39 ft | dusk | Sharp break (17 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 12 to 39 ft | midday | Deepest basin (33 ft) | Small bottom jig |
In spring, garfish run shallow here, mostly 1 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 2 to 20 ft before dropping to 12 to 39 ft for winter. Spring garfish concentrate at Shoreline point, a prime-rated point around 15 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & midday | Shoreline point (15 ft) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (15 ft) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (17 ft) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 12 to 39 ft | midday | Deepest basin (33 ft) |
Early season atlantic salmon use the shallows, holding in 5 to 30 ft. Expect a summer slide to 11 to 39 ft, then a winter hold in 9 to 39 ft. Put Deepest basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 33 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolling spoon or a flasher + fly and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (17 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Trolling spoon |
| Summer | 11 to 39 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (33 ft) | Trolling spoon, Flasher + fly |
| Fall | 4 to 28 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (15 ft) | Casting spoon, Large streamer |
| Winter | 9 to 39 ft | midday | Sharp break (17 ft) | Slow coastal spoon |
Come spring, look for european smelt tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 12 to 39 ft, then a winter hold in 12 to 39 ft. Start at Deepest basin. It's a deep basin holding about 33 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | night & dusk | Sharp break (17 ft) | Micro silver jig, Tiny feather rig |
| Summer | 12 to 39 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (33 ft) | Tiny vertical spoon, Micro jig |
| Fall | 11 to 39 ft | dusk | Deepest basin (33 ft) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |
| Winter | 12 to 39 ft | dusk | Deepest basin (33 ft) | Tiny glow jig, Micro ice spoon |

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 02 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 02 is about 39 ft (12 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.
Official coastal monitoring from Latvia national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the sea trout, atlantic herring, european flounder, garfish, atlantic salmon, european smelt, european perch, zander roster for Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast - Sector 02. 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.
Rock reef is the top-rated area: a rock pile in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for sea trout in spring. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
For sea trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
