General instructions
Kustavi is a fishing traveller’s dream destination: there are 337 square kilometers of water, more than 900 kilometers of coastline. Over a thousand islands and vast outcrops offer a varied fishing experience.
The area is known for its clear-water sea urchins, especially near the opening of Kihti and Iniö. Kelp is known to thrive in clear waters. And from where the kelp is, the biggest fishes swim. The most abundant fish stocks in Kustavi are pike, perch, pike-perch and whitefish. Thanks to the plantations, the sizes and quantities of sea trout have also increased – the sea trout caught are up to 3-4 kilos.
In addition to angling, ice fishing and lure fishing, you can go trolling and fishing in Kustavi.
