I think I need to get myself a good fishing guide! Tarpon and Barracuda, sounds like a nice day or two or three! =)
 Is it legal, like in the Stockholm archipelago, to stop at some small uninhabited island to do some fresh fish cooking in nature or is all land private and forbidden to visitors?
 Sweden has this weird anomaly which tends to warp the swedes ideas of private property:

A guide will be your best bet, so much instant learning to be had with a pro.

This is the truth! I would not have time to scout good places for
fishing, so I think a guide is essential given the day or two (at most)
that I would have available.
A few times I even hired a guide in Stockholm (he won the swedish
nationals in fishing a time or two) when I went out with customers, to
make sure they had a good chance of fishing success. Once we caught 51
pike in 6 hours. That was quite a fishing trip!

There are going to be some public islands and beaches where a shore lunch is doable, no question.

Of course in Mangrove swamps no landing spots. But:

Excellent!

we have a lot of small parks and picnic areas so a local will put you right. And frankly with as much public land as we have the right to walk and ramble is usually not a huge problem.

Happy to hear it. =)

Jeremy Clarkson has lost a legal battle in a dispute over public access to a path near his Isle of Man home.

The Top Gear presenter and his wife, Frances, claimed having a public path so close to their lighthouse property breached their human rights.

A court judgement in the Isle of Man on 26 April ruled against the claim.

Deemster David Doyle came down in favour of the "rights and freedoms" of the general public to walk in the Langness area.

The ruling said that although everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, the footpath would remain in place as recommended in a recent public inquiry.

The probe came after ramblers complained Mr Clarkson had diverted a path on the Langness peninsula in the south of the Isle of Man.

Inquiry inspector Roy Hickey found "strong and persuasive evidence" had been put forward by members of the public that they had the right to use the path.

He said all of the paths on Langness, apart from five, should be dedicated as public rights of way.

I am not surprised. If you live in europe, the fundamental idea is that
the collective rules over the individual. He should have bought property
further away from human beings in order to have peace and quiet. ;)
Jokes aside, this is why it is taking me such an enormous amount of time
to buy a plot of land for my fortress of solitude, because _I know_ that
if it is too close to other people I will end up in a Clarkson
situation, and I'm trying to avoid that.
Apart from that Clarkson is a real hero! The wisdow, wit and humour he
has brought to people through Top Gear is absolutely amazing! Highly
recommended!
