20,340-acre Simpevarpsområdet 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 Blekinge and Kalmar coast. 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 46 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 follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
På kartan täcker Simpevarpsområdet 8 232 hektar innanför 93.3 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 101 öar. Strandlinjen är kraftigt flikig (index 2.9) — vikar och uddar överallt, vilket mångdubblar den fiskbara kanten. Cirka 5% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 17.5 km, som bredast 10.3 km. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är N Kalmarsunds kustvatten - Sector 01, 9.7 km åt öster.

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 Offshore hump first on the milk run — an offshore hump near 5 m that grades good for summer. 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.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (1.5 m) | 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 |
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 Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 1.5 m of water and rates good come fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | Sharp break (1.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Sharp break (1.5 m) | Large jigging spoon |
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 Offshore hump first on the milk run — an offshore hump near 5 m that grades prime for summer. 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.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (1.5 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 |
Early season sea trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 6 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 15 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 9 m one. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 1.5 m, good for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (14 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Höst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (1.5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Sharp break (1.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Spring atlantic herring on Simpevarpsområdet 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, 1.5 m, good for fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a herring feather rig or a small silver jig.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | 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 | Sharp break (1.5 m) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 18 m | midday | open water | Small silver jig, Sparse feather 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 21 m, rated good for summer 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.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (1.5 m) | Small silver spoon, Micro blade bait |
| Sommar | 8.5 to 24 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (21 m) | Small vertical spoon, Micro jig |
| Höst | 1.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (1.5 m) | Small gold spoon, Micro jig |
| Vinter | 5.5 to 18 m | midday | Offshore hump (5 m) | Small jigging spoon |

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 Simpevarpsområdet 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 Simpevarpsområdet. 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.
Offshore hump is the top-rated area: an offshore hump in about 16 ft of water that rates prime for zander in summer. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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 Simpevarpsområdet 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.
