Parks & rules

Data rule: Every hot spot sits on a named, mapped place: a marina or harbor from OpenStreetMap, the nearest point on a Natural Earth river or lake to the town, or a named bay, cape, lake or reservoir looked up through Nominatim. These are general positions, not pinpoints, and each star says which one it is. Boat ramps and marinas come from OpenStreetMap, and parks and reserves come from the World Database on Protected Areas: areas closed to fishing in solid red, other protected areas in dashed red. No hot spot sits inside or right next to a closed area. Every star shows its source when you tap it. BigJoe does not invent coordinates. The exact sources used on this map are listed under Map sources & checks below.

Baltic coast, lagoons and a thousand lakes

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania share a long Baltic coast of beaches, islands and river mouths, where sea trout, garfish and flounder come close to shore. Behind the coast are big lagoons and thousands of lakes full of pike, perch, zander and bream, and in winter the lakes freeze for some of the best ice fishing in Europe.

Rules: each country requires a fishing license or card, and there are closed seasons and size limits for many fish. Baltic cod and salmon have strict limits. National parks and reserves have their own rules.

On the bay, in the mangroves or on the ocean, the everyday struggles get left at the dock. For those few hours, it's just you, the water and peace.
