13,628-acre Kotkan edustan sisäsaaristo 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 Gulf of Finland. 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 27 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Vesi piirtyy 5 515 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 104.9 km, ja saaria on 97. Rantaviiva on voimakkaasti rikkonainen (indeksi 4) — lahtia ja niemiä kaikkialla, mikä moninkertaistaa kalastettavan reunan. Noin 21% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 16.1 km, leveimmillään 9.7 km. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Pyhtää-Kotka ulko - North, 9.7 km etelään.

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 2 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 (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Sharp break (7 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (7 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (7 m) | 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 Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 7 m that grades prime for fall. 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 (2 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (7 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (7 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (7 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 0.5 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (0.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |

| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (2 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Spring atlantic herring on Kotkan edustan sisäsaaristo 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 Sharp break — drop-off, 7 m, good for summer. 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 (2 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig 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 7 m, rated good for spring 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.

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. Fall european flounder concentrate at Sharp break, a prime-rated drop-off around 7 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A bottom jig with spinner blade covers the summer program.

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 Kotkan edustan sisäsaaristo 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.

Official coastal monitoring from Finland national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european perch, zander, northern pike, atlantic herring, european whitefish, european flounder, sea trout, european smelt roster for Kotkan edustan sisäsaaristo. 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.
Weed flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for european perch 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.
