16,818-acre Göteborgs skärgårds N kustvatten. North 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 West Coast and Kattegat. 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 81 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 Göteborgs skärgårds N kustvatten - North 6 804 hektar innanför 49.6 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 51 öar. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.7) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Cirka 2% av vattnet är ~5 m eller grundare, zonen där näringskedjan bor. Från ände till ände mäter vattnet ungefär 13.4 km, som bredast 9.8 km. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är Marstrands kustvatten, 9.7 km åt norr.

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.

Spring sea trout on Göteborgs skärgårds N kustvatten - North hold shallow, usually 1 to 6 m. They move out to 4.5 to 15 m in summer and finish the year down in 1.5 to 9 m. Put Rock reef first on the milk run — a rock pile near 2 m that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (6 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Höst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (6 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Rock reef (2 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Early season atlantic herring use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 7.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 4.5 to 15 m, then a winter hold in 6 to 18 m. Put Rock reef first on the milk run — a rock pile near 2 m that grades good for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a herring feather rig or a small silver jig and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |

| Vår | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (2 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |

| Höst | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 18 m | midday | open water | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
In spring, atlantic mackerel run shallow here, mostly 1.5 to 14 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 24 m, and winter fish settle into 9 to 37 m. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 25 m, rated good for summer atlantic mackerel. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a feather rig or a small vertical jig most summer days.

Spring garfish on Göteborgs skärgårds N kustvatten - North hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 4.5 m. They move out to 0.5 to 6 m in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 18 m. Put Shoreline point first on the milk run — a point near 6 m that grades good for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly.

Access data: Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management - Bathing Locations and Waters. Confirm conditions and fees locally before you launch.
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 Göteborgs skärgårds N kustvatten - North 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.
