40,291-acre Ålands Hav Södra. North West Finland coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 official Finnish hydrographic chart/DTM assessed contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Syke VHS 2022 named coastal water in Åland Sea. 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 269 m. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit official hydrographic-chart depth models, so the contours are chart-derived rather than computer-modeled; no directly measured sounding coverage is claimed. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Kartalla Ålands Hav Södra - North West kattaa 16 287 hehtaaria, rantaviivaa 99.9 km, ja saaria on 67. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 2.2) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 5% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 17.2 km, leveimmillään 16.9 km. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Ålands Hav Norra - South West, 9.7 km luoteeseen.

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. Spring european perch concentrate at Weed flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 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.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Weed flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
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. Spring zander concentrate at Rock reef, a good-rated rock pile around 1.5 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.

| Kevät | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Shoreline point (11 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |

| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Shoreline point (11 m) | Slow blade bait |
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 2 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |

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. Rock reef is the standout, a rock pile at roughly 1.5 m, rated good for spring 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.

When the water first warms, european whitefish slide up into 3 to 12 m. Summer is an 8.5 to 24 m game here, winter a 5.5 to 18 m one. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 22 m of water and rates good come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small vertical spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

No active municipality-, consortium-, or state-owned LIPAS fishing, boating, beach, swimming, canoe or motor-boat facility matched within 400 metres of this exact mapped shoreline. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, local signs, parking, safety, permits and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Finland waters are set by the Kalastusrajoitus.fi (official current Finnish fishing-restriction service) — and special regulations can apply to Ålands Hav Södra - North West specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Kalastusrajoitus.fi, current protection periods and permit requirements before every Finnish coastal trip. Local no-fishing areas, river-mouth restrictions, protected species, minimum sizes, seasonal closures, gear rules, the fisheries-management fee and water-owner permissions may apply. A mapped hydrographic contour, fishing-spot marker or nearby LIPAS public facility is planning context only and never grants fishing, retention, shoreline entry, parking, launching or safe-navigation permission.

Weed flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 6 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.
