13,409-acre Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast. Sector 03 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 41 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 13,404 acres wrapped in 25.7 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 25% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 10.9 mi with a 2.5-mi widest point. If the bite dies, Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast - Sector 04 is 11 mi to the south.
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.

When the water first warms, sea trout slide up into 3 to 20 ft. Summer is a 12 to 41 ft game here, winter a 5 to 30 ft one. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 25 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (2 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Summer | 12 to 41 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (25 ft) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (8 ft) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 30 ft | midday | Shoreline point (8 ft) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
When the water first warms, atlantic herring slide up into 5 to 25 ft. By summer they slide out to 12 to 41 ft, and by winter most fish are in 12 to 41 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 25 ft that scores good in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a herring feather rig or a small silver jig rigged through the warm months.
| 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 |
| Summer | 12 to 41 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (25 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (25 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 12 to 41 ft | midday | Sharp break (25 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european flounder in 5 to 25 ft. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 35 ft, wintering in 12 to 41 ft. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 25 ft range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bottom jig with spinner blade gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Sharp break (25 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (25 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | Sharp break (25 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 12 to 41 ft | midday | Sharp break (25 ft) | Small bottom jig |
When the water first warms, garfish slide up into 1 to 15 ft. Summer is a 2 to 20 ft game here, winter a 12 to 41 ft one. Start at Shoreline point. It's a point holding about 8 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & midday | Shoreline point (8 ft) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (8 ft) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (25 ft) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 12 to 41 ft | midday | Sharp break (25 ft) |
Spring puts atlantic salmon in skinny water — 5 to 30 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 12 to 41 ft; cold water stacks them in 9 to 41 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 25 ft, rated good for winter atlantic salmon. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A trolling spoon or a flasher + fly covers the summer program.
| 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 03 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 03 is about 41 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 03. 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.
Sharp break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 25 ft of water that rates prime for sea trout in summer. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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.
