37,936-acre Kalajoki - Pyhäjoki. Central 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 Bothnian Bay. 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 49 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 Kalajoki - Pyhäjoki - Central kattaa 15 334 hehtaaria, rantaviivaa 50.1 km, ja saaria on 8. Allas on yksinkertainen (rantaindeksi 1.1) — lähes malja, joten syvyyskäyrät merkitsevät enemmän kuin ranta. Noin 1% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 18 km, leveimmillään 13.4 km. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Kalajoki - Pyhäjoki - Central East, 9.7 km koilliseen.

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: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Offshore hump, an offshore hump in the 7.5 m range, good in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (7.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Shoreline point, a point in the 4.5 m range, good in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.

| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (4.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |

| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shoreline point (4.5 m) | Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic herring in 1.5 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 15 m before dropping to 6 to 18 m for winter. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 13 m of water that rates good for atlantic herring in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a herring feather rig or a small silver jig gets it done.

| Kevät | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (4.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |

| Talvi | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (13 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Spring european whitefish on Kalajoki - Pyhäjoki - Central hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 m. They move out to 8.5 to 24 m in summer and finish the year down in 5.5 to 18 m. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 24 m that grades good for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small vertical spoon or a micro jig.

| Kevät | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (13 m) | Small silver spoon, Micro blade bait |

| Syksy | 1.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Small gold spoon, Micro jig |
| Talvi | 5.5 to 18 m | midday | Offshore hump (12 m) | Small jigging spoon |
In spring, sea trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 6 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 15 m before dropping to 1.5 to 9 m for winter. Summer sea trout concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 13 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon most summer days.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (4.5 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (13 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Syksy | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (4.5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Shoreline point (4.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Come spring, look for european smelt tight to the bank in 1 to 7.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 7.5 to 21 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 20 m. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 13 m of water and rates good come fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 7.5 m | night & dusk | open water | Micro silver jig, Tiny feather rig |
| Kesä | 7.5 to 21 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (13 m) | Tiny vertical spoon, Micro jig |
| Syksy | 4.5 to 17 m | dusk | Sharp break (13 m) | Micro jig, Tiny silver spoon |

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 Kalajoki - Pyhäjoki - Central 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.
