37,281-acre Porvoo-Helsinki. Central 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 66 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Vesi piirtyy 15 071 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 71.6 km, ja saaria on 109. Rantaviiva on kohtalaisen rikkonainen (indeksi 1.6). Noin 3% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 16.9 km, leveimmillään 13.2 km. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Porvoo-Helsinki - North, 9.7 km pohjoiseen.

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. Summer is a 2.5 to 8.5 m game here, winter a 3.5 to 10 m one. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 8.5 m, good for summer. Best bite is 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 | open water | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (10 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Early season zander use the shallows, holding in 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 11 m game here, winter a 6 to 12 m one. The chart's best answer is Offshore hump — offshore hump, 11 m, prime for summer. Best bite is 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 | open water | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (11 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Syksy | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (8.5 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Talvi | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (11 m) | Slow blade bait |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 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. Best bite is 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 | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | open water | Large jigging spoon |
Spring atlantic herring on Porvoo-Helsinki - Central hold shallow, usually 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. Put Sharp break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 12 m that grades good for summer. The feeding windows run 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 | open water | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Kesä | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (12 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |

| Talvi | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (12 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Spring puts european whitefish in skinny water — 3 to 12 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 8.5 to 24 m, wintering in 5.5 to 18 m. Spring european whitefish concentrate at Sharp break, a good-rated drop-off around 8.5 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. 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. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 11 m; cold water stacks them in 4.5 to 15 m. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 8.5 m, rated prime for fall european flounder. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bottom jig with spinner blade covers the summer program.

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 Porvoo-Helsinki - Central 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.
