42,584-acre Hangon läntisen selän ulkosaaristoalue. North 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 Archipelago 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 52 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Vesi piirtyy 17 214 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 243.5 km, ja saaria on 976. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 5.2) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 14% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 18.2 km, leveimmillään 17.7 km. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Dragsfjärdin ja Västanfjärdin välisaaristo - East, 11.3 km pohjoiseen.

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, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 m one. Start at Weed flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Sharp break (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, zander slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 11 m game here, winter a 6 to 12 m one. Start at Offshore hump. It's an offshore hump holding about 4.5 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (2.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (8 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (8 m) | Slow blade bait |
Spring northern pike on Hangon läntisen selän ulkosaaristoalue - North hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Put Weed flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2.5 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (2.5 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for atlantic herring tight to the bank in 1.5 to 7.5 m. They move out to 4.5 to 15 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 18 m. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 8 m that scores good in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig is the honest summer answer here.

| Kevät | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (2.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |

| Talvi | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (8 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european whitefish in 3 to 12 m. As the season builds they drop to 8.5 to 24 m, wintering in 5.5 to 18 m. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 8 m range, good in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small vertical spoon or a micro jig gets it done.

| Kevät | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (8 m) | Small silver spoon, Micro blade bait |

| Talvi | 5.5 to 18 m | midday | Offshore hump (4.5 m) | Small jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: european flounder sit in 1.5 to 7.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 11 m; cold water stacks them in 4.5 to 15 m. Top water on the chart: Sharp break, a drop-off in the 8 m range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bottom jig with spinner blade until the fish tell you otherwise.

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 Hangon läntisen selän ulkosaaristoalue - North 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.

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.
