26,613-acre Kannskärsfjärden. 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 34 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Vesi piirtyy 10 762 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 300 km, ja saaria on 866. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 8.2) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 35% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 15 km, leveimmillään 13.7 km. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Kökarsfjärden - Central, 9.7 km länteen.

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.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Weed flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 1 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Weed flat (1.5 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 |
Early season zander use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 11 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 12 m. Put Rock reef first on the milk run — a rock pile near 3.5 m that grades good for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait and you're in the game.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Shoreline point (10 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Shoreline point (10 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Shoreline point (10 m) | Slow blade bait |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Weed flat. It's a weed flat holding about 1 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (1 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (4 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline point (4 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (1.5 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Spring atlantic herring on Kannskärsfjärden - North West hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 15 m, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 18 m. The chart's best answer is Rock reef — rock pile, 3.5 m, good for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a herring feather rig or a small silver jig.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (18 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Syksy | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (18 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Spring puts european whitefish in skinny water — 3 to 12 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8.5 to 24 m; cold water stacks them in 5.5 to 18 m. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 22 m, rated good for summer european whitefish. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small vertical spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.

| Kevät | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Small silver spoon, Micro blade bait |
| Kesä | 8.5 to 24 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (22 m) | Small vertical spoon, Micro jig |

| Talvi | 5.5 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (18 m) | Small jigging spoon |
Spring puts european flounder in skinny water — 1.5 to 7.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 11 m, wintering in 4.5 to 15 m. Summer european flounder concentrate at Feeding flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 9 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bottom jig with spinner blade covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk | Feeding flat (9 m) | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |

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 Kannskärsfjärden - 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.
