14,220-acre Möja västerfjärd 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 114 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Möja västerfjärd mäter 5 755 hektar bakom 206.6 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 394 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 7.7) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 11% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 16.1 km, som bredast 10.1 km. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Lillträsket, 8 km åt väster.

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.

Spring european perch on Möja västerfjärd hold shallow, usually 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. Put Weed flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2.5 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern).
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Weed flat (2.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 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. Start at Weed flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2.5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (2.5 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (2.5 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Spring zander on Möja västerfjärd hold shallow, usually 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. Put Rock reef first on the milk run — a rock pile near 0.5 m that grades good for spring. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (0.5 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | open water | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Slow blade bait |
Spring sea trout on Möja västerfjärd hold shallow, usually 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. The chart's best answer is Rock reef — rock pile, 0.5 m, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (0.5 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Höst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (0.5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Rock reef (0.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Early season atlantic herring use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 15 m game here, winter a 6 to 18 m one. The chart's best answer is Weed flat — weed flat, 2.5 m, good for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a herring feather rig or a small silver jig and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (2.5 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 |
In spring, european whitefish run shallow here, mostly 3 to 12 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 8.5 to 24 m, and winter fish settle into 5.5 to 18 m. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 21 m, rated good for summer european whitefish. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small vertical spoon or a micro jig most summer days.

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 Möja västerfjärd 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.

Official coastal monitoring from Sweden national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the european perch, northern pike, zander, sea trout, atlantic herring, european whitefish, european flounder, european smelt roster for Möja västerfjärd. 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 8 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every 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 Möja västerfjärd is regulated by the Svenska Fiskeregler (official current Swedish fishing-rules service). Check the official Sweden regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
