15,891-acre Laholmsbuktens 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 26 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Vattnet ritar ut 6 432 hektar med 49.6 km strand, uppbruten av 30 öar. Strandlinjen är måttligt strukturerad (index 1.7) — tillräckligt med uddar och vikar att fiska av. Ungefär 3% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 12.6 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 8.4 km på bredden. Laholmsbukten - Central West ligger 8 km åt öster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — Laholmsbuktens kustvatten — South, Sverige: källgranskade kustdjupkurvor (99 % direktmätt) ner till 26 m (85 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. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 8.5 m; cold water stacks them in 3.5 to 10 m. Top water on the chart: Weed flat, a weed flat in the 1.5 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 | Weed flat (1.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Offshore hump (6.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (10 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (6.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 0.5 to 2.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 6 m, wintering in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Top water on the chart: Weed flat, a weed flat in the 1.5 m range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. 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 | Weed flat (1.5 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Weed flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (1.5 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: zander sit in 1 to 4.5 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 11 m; cold water stacks them in 6 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Offshore hump, an offshore hump in the 6.5 m range, prime in summer. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 | Rock reef (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (6.5 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Sharp break (10 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Offshore hump (6.5 m) | Slow blade bait |
In spring, sea trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 6 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 15 m before dropping to 1.5 to 9 m for winter. Spring sea trout concentrate at Rock reef, a prime-rated rock pile around 1 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. 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 | Rock reef (1 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (10 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Höst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (2 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Shoreline point (2 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: atlantic herring in 1.5 to 7.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 15 m before dropping to 6 to 18 m for winter. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 10 m of water that rates good for atlantic herring in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a herring feather rig or a small silver jig gets it done.

Spring european whitefish on Laholmsbuktens kustvatten - South hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 m. They move out to 8.5 to 24 m in summer and finish the year down in 5.5 to 18 m. Put Deepest basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 26 m that grades good for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small vertical spoon or a micro jig.

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 Laholmsbuktens 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.

Laholmsbuktens kustvatten - South is about 85 ft (26 m) deep at its deepest point. 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.
