70,998-acre Northwest Gulf of Riga. Sector 06 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 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 25 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Kaardil katab Northwest Gulf of Riga - Sector 06 28 705 hektarit, kaldajoont 67.6 km. Nõgu on lihtne (kaldaindeks 1.1) — peaaegu kauss, seega sügavusjooned loevad rohkem kui kallas. Umbes 3% pinnast on madalam kui ~5 m — seal elab toiduahel. Otsast otsani mõõdab veekogu umbes 24.3 km, kõige laiemas kohas 21.9 km. Lähim kaardistatud veekogu on Northwest Gulf of Riga - Sector 11, 12.9 km lõunasse.

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. Summer european perch concentrate at Sharp break, a good-rated drop-off around 8 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.

| Kevad | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (0.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |

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. Weed flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 0.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. 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.

In spring, zander run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 11 m before dropping to 6 to 12 m for winter. Summer zander concentrate at Offshore hump, a prime-rated offshore hump around 8 m. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait most summer days.

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 8 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 Northwest Gulf of Riga - Sector 06 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 11 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.

Start shallow in spring: sea trout sit in 1 to 6 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 15 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 9 m. Top water on the chart: Rock reef, a rock pile in the 3.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

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 Northwest Gulf of Riga - Sector 06 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.

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 2 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike 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.
Fishing on Northwest Gulf of Riga - Sector 06 is regulated by the Keskkonnaamet (Estonian Environmental Board coastal fishing rules).
