4736-acre Latvian Open Baltic Sandy Coast. Sector 07 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 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 4,737 acres of water rimmed by 12.6 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Roughly 30% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 5.2 mi long by 2.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Latvian Open Baltic Sandy Coast - Sector 06, 6 mi southwest of here.
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: european perch in 3 to 12 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 28 ft before dropping to 12 to 33 ft for winter. The spot to know is Weed flat, a weed flat in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Weed flat (7 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Sharp break (28 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 10 to 33 ft | midday | Sharp break (28 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 12 to 33 ft | midday & dawn | Deepest basin (38 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 20 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 15 ft. The spot to know is Weed flat, a weed flat in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Weed flat (7 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (7 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Weed flat (7 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Weed flat (7 ft) | Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: zander in 4 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 15 to 35 ft before dropping to 12 to 39 ft for winter. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 28 ft of water that rates prime for zander in fall. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (5 ft) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Summer | 15 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (28 ft) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Fall | 12 to 39 ft | dusk & night | Sharp break (28 ft) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Winter | 12 to 39 ft | dusk & dawn | Deepest basin (38 ft) | Slow blade bait |
Start shallow in spring: atlantic herring sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 12 to 39 ft; cold water stacks them in 12 to 39 ft. Top water on the chart: Deepest basin, a deep basin in the 38 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a herring feather rig or a small silver jig until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (5 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 12 to 39 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (38 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 39 ft | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (38 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 12 to 39 ft | midday | Deepest basin (38 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Come spring, look for european flounder tight to the bank in 5 to 25 ft. They move out to 6 to 35 ft in summer and finish the year down in 12 to 39 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 28 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bottom jig with spinner blade is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dusk | Sharp break (28 ft) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |
| Summer | 6 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (28 ft) | Bottom jig with spinner blade |
| Fall | 8 to 39 ft | dusk | Sharp break (28 ft) | Compact bottom jig |
| Winter | 12 to 39 ft | midday | Deepest basin (38 ft) | Small bottom jig |
Spring puts sea trout in skinny water — 3 to 20 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 12 to 39 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 30 ft. Rock reef is the standout, a rock pile at roughly 5 ft, rated prime for spring sea trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (5 ft) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Summer | 12 to 39 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (28 ft) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (10 ft) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 30 ft | midday | Rock reef (5 ft) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending 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 07 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.
