18,030-acre Kränkfjärdens kustvatten. Central West 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 Stockholm, Gotland and central Baltic. 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 96 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Vattnet ritar ut 7 297 hektar med 66.5 km strand, uppbruten av 83 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.2) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 3% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 12.6 km, som bredast 11.6 km. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Kränkfjärdens kustvatten - North West, 8 km åt norr.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Kränkfjärdens kustvatten — Central West, Sverige: djupkurvor från riktiga djupmätningar ner till 96 m (316 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för abborre, gädda, gös 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.

Come spring, look for european perch tight to the bank in 1 to 3.5 m. They move out to 2.5 to 8.5 m in summer and finish the year down in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Offshore hump: an offshore hump around 5 m that scores good in summer. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Offshore hump (5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer is a 2.5 to 6 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 4.5 m one. The chart's best answer is Offshore hump — offshore hump, 5 m, good for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Offshore hump (5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | open water | Large jigging spoon |
Come spring, look for zander tight to the bank in 1 to 4.5 m. They move out to 4.5 to 11 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 12 m. If you only fish one area, make it Offshore hump: an offshore hump around 5 m that scores prime in summer. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Offshore hump (5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (5 m) | Slow blade bait |
When the water first warms, sea trout slide up into 1 to 6 m. By summer they slide out to 4.5 to 15 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 9 m. If you only fish one area, make it Rock reef: a rock pile around 3.5 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Höst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
When the water first warms, atlantic herring slide up into 1.5 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 15 m game here, winter a 6 to 18 m one. Start at Rock reef. It's a rock pile holding about 3.5 m of water and rates good come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a herring feather rig or a small silver jig rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (3.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Höst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 18 m | midday | open water | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Start shallow in spring: european whitefish sit in 3 to 12 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8.5 to 24 m, and winter fish settle into 5.5 to 18 m. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 21 m of water that rates good for european whitefish in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small vertical spoon or a micro jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

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 Kränkfjärdens kustvatten - Central West 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.
