33,509-acre Soela strait. Sector 09 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 23 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 is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Kaardil katab Soela strait - Sector 09 13 567 hektarit, kaldajoont 48.1 km. Nõgu on lihtne (kaldaindeks 1.2) — peaaegu kauss, seega sügavusjooned loevad rohkem kui kallas. Umbes 20% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 16.9 km, kõige laiemas kohas 14.3 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Soela strait - Sector 08, 12.9 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.

Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Weed flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 m, rated prime for spring european perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |

| Talv | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Spring northern pike concentrate at Weed flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.

| Talv | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (1.5 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts zander in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 11 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 12 m. Offshore hump is the standout, an offshore hump at roughly 5 m, rated prime for summer zander. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait covers the summer program.

| Talv | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (9 m) | Slow blade bait |
In spring, atlantic herring run shallow here, mostly 1.5 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 15 m before dropping to 6 to 18 m for winter. Summer atlantic herring concentrate at Sharp break, a good-rated drop-off around 5.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a herring feather rig or a small silver jig most summer days.

Early season european flounder use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 11 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 15 m one. The chart's best answer is Feeding flat — feeding flat, 3.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a bottom jig with spinner blade and you're in the game.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: sea trout in 1 to 6 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 15 m before dropping to 1.5 to 9 m for winter. The spot to know is Rock reef, a rock pile in about 2 m of water that rates prime for sea trout in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon gets it done.

Soela strait - Sector 09 also holds european whitefish (7 to 23 m in summer), atlantic salmon (6 to 21 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
20 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deepest basin, around 23 m, is the deepest of them.
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 09 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.

Official coastal monitoring from Estonia national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european perch, northern pike, zander, atlantic herring, european flounder, sea trout, european whitefish, atlantic salmon roster for Soela strait - Sector 09. 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 4 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
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.
