47.450-acre Digranes Að Lóni. Sector 23 Iceland coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 official Icelandic MFRI/ISL hydrographic DTM with traceable CDI surveys contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Icelandic WFD named coastal or transitional assessment water in East Iceland Fjords. 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 393 ft. 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Digranes Að Lóni - Sector 23 draws 47,412 acres inside 38.6 miles of shoreline. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. 1% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 14.3 mi long by 9.1 mi wide at the broadest reach. The nearest mapped water is Digranes Að Lóni - Sector 26, 8 mi to the south.
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.

When the water first warms, atlantic cod slide up into 20 to 100 ft. By summer they slide out to 45 to 180 ft, and by winter most fish are in 50 to 220 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Rock reef: a rock pile around 8 ft that scores good in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a heavy metal jig or a large soft-plastic jig rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 20 to 100 ft | dawn | Rock reef (8 ft) | Diamond jig, Heavy bucktail |
| Summer | 45 to 180 ft | dawn | Sharp break (104 ft) | Heavy metal jig, Large soft-plastic jig |
| Fall | 25 to 140 ft | dawn | Rock reef (8 ft) | Diamond jig, Bucktail with teaser |
| Winter | 50 to 220 ft | midday | Rock reef (8 ft) | Heavy vertical jig |
In spring, haddock run shallow here, mostly 35 to 220 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 60 to 320 ft before dropping to 69 to 393 ft for winter. Winter haddock concentrate at Deepest basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 392 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a compact metal jig or a bottom rig most summer days.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 35 to 220 ft | dawn | Sharp break (104 ft) | Small bottom jig, Beaded trace |
| Summer | 60 to 320 ft | dawn | Sharp break (104 ft) | Compact metal jig, Bottom rig |
| Fall | 45 to 260 ft | midday | Sharp break (104 ft) | Small vertical jig |
| Winter | 69 to 393 ft chart-limited; documented 70 to 400 ft | midday | Deepest basin (392 ft) | Deep bottom jig |
Spring puts saithe (coalfish) in skinny water — 15 to 160 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 25 to 260 ft, wintering in 45 to 320 ft. Summer saithe (coalfish) concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 104 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A speed jig or a heavy paddletail covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 160 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (116 ft) | Slim metal jig, Paddletail |
| Summer | 25 to 260 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (104 ft) | Speed jig, Heavy paddletail |
| Fall | 20 to 220 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (104 ft) | Metal jig, Baitfish swimbait |
| Winter | 45 to 320 ft | midday | Sharp break (104 ft) | Heavy vertical jig |
Spring atlantic mackerel on Digranes Að Lóni - Sector 23 hold shallow, usually 5 to 45 ft. By summer they slide out to 15 to 80 ft, and by winter most fish are in 30 to 120 ft. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 39 ft, good for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a feather rig or a small vertical jig.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 45 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (10 ft) | Mackerel feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Summer | 15 to 80 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (39 ft) | Feather rig, Small vertical jig |
| Fall | 10 to 65 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (39 ft) | Compact silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
| Winter | 30 to 120 ft | midday | Sharp break (104 ft) | Small deep jig |
Spring puts atlantic herring in skinny water — 5 to 25 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 15 to 50 ft, wintering in 20 to 60 ft. Summer atlantic herring concentrate at Sharp break, a good-rated drop-off around 39 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (8 ft) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (39 ft) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (39 ft) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | Sharp break (39 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Start shallow in spring: atlantic halibut sit in 45 to 350 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 25 to 300 ft covers summer, 66 to 393 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deepest basin, a deep basin in the 392 ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a large swimbait or a slow metal jig until the fish tell you otherwise.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 45 to 350 ft | dawn | Sharp break (104 ft) | Large paddletail, Heavy bottom jig |

Icelandic Coast Guard Hydrographic Department and official harbour review was reviewed, but no stable government record establishes a public fishing entrance, parking or launch for this exact mapped child. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, port and harbour rules, protected areas, 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 Iceland waters are set by the Government of Iceland fisheries guidance — and special regulations can apply to Digranes Að Lóni - Sector 23 specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Iceland's live fisheries legislation, Directorate of Fisheries notices, protected-area terms and local land-access rules before every coastal trip. Species closures, protected spawning areas, minimum sizes, gear controls and rules near privately controlled shores can change. Individual protected areas have their own terms, while harbours, exposed coasts, weather and navigation hazards add separate restrictions. A WFD polygon, source-audited contour, fishing spot or harbour reference never grants fishing, retention, entry, parking, launching or safe-navigation permission.
