10,454-acre Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast. Sector 05 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 52 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 the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast - Sector 05 maps at 10,453 acres behind 25.9 miles of shoreline. With a 1.8 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Roughly 33% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 11.6 mi end to end and 1.7 mi across at its widest. Its nearest charted neighbour, Baltijos jūra - Sector 06, is 5 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.

Early season sea trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 15 to 50 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 30 ft. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 42 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon and you're in the game.
| 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 | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (42 ft) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 30 ft | midday | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Spring atlantic herring on Latvian Open Baltic Rocky Coast - Sector 05 hold shallow, usually 5 to 25 ft. They move out to 15 to 50 ft in summer and finish the year down in 16 to 52 ft. Put Deepest basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 49 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a herring feather rig or a small silver jig.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (6 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (49 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (34 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 16 to 52 ft | midday | Deepest basin (49 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Spring puts european flounder in skinny water — 5 to 25 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 50 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 34 ft, rated prime for fall european flounder. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bottom jig with spinner blade covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Sharp break (8 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (34 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dusk | Sharp break (34 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | Deepest basin (49 ft) | Small bottom jig |
Early season garfish use the shallows, holding in 1 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 16 to 52 ft. Put Shoreline point first on the milk run — a point near 7 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 15 ft | dawn & midday | Shoreline point (7 ft) | Slim silver spoon, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (20 ft) | Slim casting spoon, Surface-skipping fly |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (8 ft) | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Winter | 16 to 52 ft | midday | Deepest basin (49 ft) |
Start shallow in spring: atlantic salmon sit in 5 to 30 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 15 to 52 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 45 ft. The spot to know is Deepest basin, a deep basin in about 49 ft of water that rates prime for atlantic salmon in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a trolling spoon or a flasher + fly until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 05 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 05 is about 52 ft (16 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 05.

Sharp break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 42 ft of water that rates prime for sea trout in summer. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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.
