10,278-acre Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast. Sector 04 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 31 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast - Sector 04 runs 10,275 acres with 24.9 miles of edge. Index 1.8 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 41% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 10.9 mi long by 1.8 mi wide at the broadest reach. For a second option, Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast - Sector 03 lies 11 mi north.
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.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: sea trout in 3 to 20 ft. As the season builds they drop to 9 to 31 ft, wintering in 5 to 30 ft. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 9 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon gets it done.
| 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 | 9 to 31 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (9 ft) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (9 ft) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 30 ft | midday | Shoreline point (9 ft) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
In spring, atlantic herring run shallow here, mostly 5 to 25 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 9 to 31 ft, and winter fish settle into 9 to 31 ft. Deepest basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 31 ft, rated prime for summer atlantic herring. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a herring feather rig or a small silver jig most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (5 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 9 to 31 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (31 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 8 to 31 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (31 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 9 to 31 ft | midday | Deepest basin (31 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Early season european flounder use the shallows, holding in 5 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 31 ft, then a winter hold in 9 to 31 ft. Put Feeding flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 7 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bottom jig with spinner blade and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Feeding flat (7 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 5 to 31 ft | dawn & dusk | Feeding flat (7 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 6 to 31 ft | dusk | Sharp break (9 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 9 to 31 ft | midday | Deepest basin (31 ft) | Small bottom jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: garfish in 1 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 20 ft, wintering in 9 to 31 ft. Top water on the chart: Shoreline point, a point in the 9 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & midday | Shoreline point (9 ft) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (9 ft) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (9 ft) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 9 to 31 ft | midday | Deepest basin (31 ft) |
Come spring, look for atlantic salmon tight to the bank in 5 to 30 ft. They move out to 9 to 31 ft in summer and finish the year down in 7 to 31 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deepest basin: a deep basin around 31 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A trolling spoon or a flasher + fly is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (9 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Trolling spoon |
| Summer | 9 to 31 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (31 ft) | Trolling spoon, Flasher + fly |
| Fall | 4 to 28 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (9 ft) | Casting spoon, Large streamer |
| Winter | 7 to 31 ft | midday | Sharp break (9 ft) | Slow coastal spoon |
Early season european smelt use the shallows, holding in 3 to 25 ft. Summer is a 9 to 31 ft game here, winter a 9 to 31 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deepest basin — deep basin, 31 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | night & dusk | Sharp break (9 ft) | Micro silver jig, Tiny feather rig |
| Summer | 9 to 31 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (31 ft) | Tiny vertical spoon, Micro jig |

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 04 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.
