46,172-acre Soela strait. Sector 05 Estonia coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 official Estonian E50M 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 Estonian WFD named coastal assessment water in West Estonian Archipelago. 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 m. 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.
Kaardil katab Soela strait - Sector 05 18 661 hektarit, kaldajoont 54.7 km. Nõgu on lihtne (kaldaindeks 1.1) — peaaegu kauss, seega sügavusjooned loevad rohkem kui kallas. Umbes 1% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 19.3 km, kõige laiemas kohas 19.3 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Soela strait - Sector 04, 9.7 km läände.

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.

In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 10 m for winter. Fall european perch concentrate at Sharp break, a good-rated drop-off around 9 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.

In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.

Fall zander concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 9 m. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite.

Spring puts atlantic herring in skinny water — 1.5 to 7.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 15 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 18 m. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 9 m, rated good for summer atlantic herring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig covers the summer program.

Spring european flounder on Soela strait - Sector 05 hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 7.5 m. They move out to 2 to 11 m in summer and finish the year down in 4.5 to 15 m. Put Feeding flat first on the milk run — a feeding flat near 9 m that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bottom jig with spinner blade.

Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Estonia waters are set by the Keskkonnaamet (Estonian Environmental Board coastal fishing rules) — and special regulations can apply to Soela strait - Sector 05 specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Before every Estonian coastal trip, check the current Keskkonnaamet fishing-right requirements, protected-species rules, seasonal closures, river-mouth restrictions, minimum sizes, gear limits and any area-specific conservation measures. A mapped contour, fishing-spot marker, species roster or nearby harbour is planning context only. It never grants fishing or retention rights, shoreline entry, parking, launching access, permission to enter a port, or safe-navigation clearance; local signs, land ownership, weather, ice and vessel traffic still control.
