11,002-acre Latvian Open Baltic Sandy Coast. Sector 06 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 Gulf of Riga. 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 59 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.
Latvian Open Baltic Sandy Coast - Sector 06 maps at 11,003 acres behind 25.8 miles of shoreline. With a 1.8 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 22% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Tip to tip the water measures near 11.6 mi with a 2.5-mi widest point. Latvian Open Baltic Sandy Coast - Sector 07 sits 6 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.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Summer is an 8 to 28 ft game here, winter a 12 to 33 ft one. The chart's best answer is Weed flat — weed flat, 6 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Weed flat (6 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Sharp break (12 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 10 to 33 ft | midday | Sharp break (12 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 12 to 33 ft | midday & dawn | Sharp break (12 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 2 to 8 ft. They move out to 8 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Weed flat: a weed flat around 6 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Weed flat (6 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (8 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Sharp break (12 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Weed flat (6 ft) | Large jigging spoon |
Early season zander use the shallows, holding in 4 to 15 ft. Summer is a 15 to 35 ft game here, winter a 20 to 40 ft one. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 38 ft, prime for fall. Best bite is the evening and early morning. Tie on a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (3 ft) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Summer | 15 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (38 ft) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Fall | 12 to 40 ft | dusk & night | Sharp break (38 ft) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 40 ft | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (38 ft) | Slow blade bait |
Spring atlantic herring on Latvian Open Baltic Sandy Coast - Sector 06 hold shallow, usually 5 to 25 ft. They move out to 15 to 50 ft in summer and finish the year down in 18 to 59 ft. Put Deepest basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 57 ft that grades prime for winter. 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 | Rock reef (3 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (38 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (38 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 18 to 59 ft | midday | Deepest basin (57 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 38 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 (12 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |

| Winter | 15 to 50 ft | midday | Sharp break (38 ft) | Small bottom jig |
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 Rock reef first on the milk run — a rock pile near 3 ft that grades prime for spring. 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 (3 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |

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 Sandy Coast - Sector 06 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 Sandy Coast - Sector 06 is about 59 ft (18 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 european perch, northern pike, zander, atlantic herring, european flounder, sea trout, european smelt, european eel roster for Latvian Open Baltic Sandy Coast - Sector 06. 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.
Weed flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For european perch, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
