31,937-acre Kemi-Simo ulko. South 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 33 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's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Vesi piirtyy 12 902 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 45.4 km. Allas on yksinkertainen (rantaindeksi 1.1) — lähes malja, joten syvyyskäyrät merkitsevät enemmän kuin ranta. Noin 2% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 14 km, leveimmillään 13.5 km. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Hailuoto - Kuivaniemi - Sector 03, 11.3 km kaakkoon.

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 Offshore hump. It's an offshore hump holding about 8 m of water and rates good come summer. 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 | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Offshore hump (8 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Offshore hump (8 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (8 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Kemi-Simo ulko - South 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 Shoreline point first on the milk run — a point near 4.5 m that grades good for fall. 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 | 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 |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shoreline point (4.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shoreline point (4.5 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 13 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.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (3 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (13 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Syksy | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (13 m) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (13 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 13 m range, good in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small vertical spoon or a micro jig gets it done.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (13 m) | Small silver spoon, Micro blade bait |
| Kesä | 8.5 to 24 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (13 m) | Small vertical spoon, Micro jig |
| Syksy | 1.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (3 m) | Small gold spoon, Micro jig |
| Talvi | 5.5 to 18 m | midday | Offshore hump (8 m) | Small jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for sea trout tight to the bank in 1 to 6 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 15 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 9 m. Start at Rock reef. It's a rock pile holding about 3 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (3 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 | Rock reef (3 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
In spring, european smelt run shallow here, mostly 1 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 7.5 to 21 m before dropping to 6 to 20 m for winter. Fall european smelt concentrate at Sharp break, a good-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 tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig most summer days.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Talvi | 6 to 20 m | dusk | Offshore hump (8 m) | Tiny glow jig, Micro ice 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 Kemi-Simo ulko - South 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.

Kemi-Simo ulko - South is about 109 ft (33 m) deep at its deepest point.

Official coastal monitoring from Finland national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european perch, northern pike, atlantic herring, european whitefish, sea trout, european smelt, vendace, burbot roster for Kemi-Simo ulko - South. 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 10 ft of water that rates prime for sea trout in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
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.
Fishing on Kemi-Simo ulko - South is regulated by the Kalastusrajoitus.fi (official current Finnish fishing-restriction service). Check the official Finland regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
