12,905-acre Valdemarsviks kustvatten. South 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 79 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 5 221 hektar med 57.5 km strand, uppbruten av 22 öar. Ett strandindex på 2.2 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 2% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 14.2 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 8 km på bredden. Kvädöfjärden ligger 8 km åt nordväst — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Valdemarsviks kustvatten — South, Sverige: djupkurvor från riktiga djupmätningar ner till 79 m (259 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.

Start shallow in spring: european perch sit in 1 to 3.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 8.5 m, and winter fish settle into 3.5 to 10 m. The spot to know is Offshore hump, an offshore hump in about 11 m of water that rates good for european perch in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 | open water | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Offshore hump (11 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (11 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 6 m before dropping to 1.5 to 4.5 m for winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| 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 | open water | 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 |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 11 m, and winter fish settle into 6 to 12 m. The spot to know is Offshore hump, an offshore hump in about 11 m of water that rates prime for zander in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | open water | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (11 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Shoreline point (10 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (12 m) | Slow blade bait |
In spring, sea trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 6 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 15 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 9 m. Shoreline point is the standout, a point at roughly 10 m, rated good for winter sea trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |

| Höst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Shoreline point (10 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic herring in 1.5 to 7.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 4.5 to 15 m, wintering in 6 to 18 m. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a herring feather rig or a small silver jig gets it done.

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 Valdemarsviks kustvatten - South 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.
