21,702-acre Hjärterö fjord kustvatten Sweden coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 CDI-audited mixed survey/composite DTM contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official SMHI SVAR 2022 named coastal water in West Coast and Kattegat. 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 53 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
På kartan täcker Hjärterö fjord kustvatten 8 781 hektar innanför 99.6 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 200 öar. Ett strandindex på 3 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 2% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 16.9 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 10.8 km på bredden. Bö Tjärn ligger 8 km åt öster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Hjärterö fjord kustvatten, Sverige: djupkurvor från riktiga djupmätningar ner till 53 m (173 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för havsöring, sill och strömming, makrill med flera. Djupkartan är modellberäknad från sjöns verkliga strandlinje och största djup — använd den som vägledning, aldrig för navigation.
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.

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.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (2 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Höst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (2.5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
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 3.5 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.

| Vår | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |

| Höst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (2 m) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 18 m | midday | open water | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Spring atlantic mackerel on Hjärterö fjord kustvatten hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 14 m. They move out to 4.5 to 24 m in summer and finish the year down in 9 to 37 m. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 21 m that grades good for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a feather rig or a small vertical jig.

Start shallow in spring: garfish sit in 0.5 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 0.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 18 m. Top water on the chart: Shoreline point, a point in the 2.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly until the fish tell you otherwise.

Spring european flounder on Hjärterö fjord kustvatten 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 Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 2 m that grades good for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bottom jig with spinner blade.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk | Sharp break (2 m) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |

| Höst | 2.5 to 12 m | dusk | Sharp break (2 m) | Compact bottom jig |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | Sharp break (2 m) | Small bottom jig |
In spring, european plaice run shallow here, mostly 2.5 to 11 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 12 m, and winter fish settle into 7.5 to 24 m. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |

| Vår | 2.5 to 11 m | dusk | open water | Beaded flowing trace |
| Sommar | 2 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Light spooned bottom rig, Beaded trace |

Hjärterö fjord kustvatten also holds saithe (coalfish) (5 to 53 m in summer), atlantic cod (13 to 53 m in summer). Pick any of them on the map above for rated spots and bait picks.
11 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deepest basin, around 51 m, is the deepest of them.
No Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management active bathing location 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 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 Sweden waters are set by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official current Swedish fishing-rules service) — and special regulations can apply to Hjärterö fjord kustvatten specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Svenska Fiskeregler and the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management immediately before every coastal trip. Area-specific closures, protected spawning areas, minimum and maximum sizes, gear restrictions and species prohibitions can change; recreational fishing for Baltic cod is prohibited during 2026. A mapped depth contour, fishing-spot marker or bathing-site access lead never establishes permission to fish, retain catch, cross private land, park, launch or navigate safely.

Hjärterö fjord kustvatten is about 173 ft (53 m) deep at its deepest point. 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.

Official coastal monitoring from Sweden national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the sea trout, atlantic herring, atlantic mackerel, garfish, european flounder, european plaice, saithe (coalfish), atlantic cod roster for Hjärterö fjord kustvatten. 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.
Rock reef is the top-rated area: a rock pile in about 12 ft of water that rates prime for sea trout in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For sea trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Hjärterö fjord kustvatten is regulated by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official current Swedish fishing-rules service). Check the official Sweden regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
