1,333.9-acre lake in Estonia. The lake tops out around 2.5 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Kaardil katab Suurlaht 537 hektarit, kaldajoont 15 km, saari on 3. Kaldajoon on mõõdukalt liigestatud (indeks 1.8). Kogu veekogu on madalam kui ~5 m — taimestik ja söödakala kaldast kaldani. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 4 km, kõige laiemas kohas 2.1 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Northwest Gulf of Riga - Sector 04, 8 km kagusse.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 0.5 to 2.5 m. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 2.5 m through summer, 1 to 2.5 m in winter. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Hooaeg | Sügavus | Parim aeg | Alusta siit | Landid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevad | 0.5 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Suvi | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Sügis | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3 to 10 m | midday | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talv | 1 to 2.5 m chart-limited; documented 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deep basin (2.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 1 to 2.5 m; cold water stacks them in 1 to 2.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 0.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.

Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 1 to 2.5 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 2.5 m, and winter fish hold in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for spring burbot. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.
