41,394-acre M Hallands N kustvatten. North West 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 68 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
På kartan täcker M Hallands N kustvatten - North West 16 739 hektar innanför 79.7 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 26 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 20.3 km, som bredast 15 km. Närmaste kartlagda vatten är M Hallands N kustvatten - Central West, 12.9 km åt söder.

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.

Come spring, look for sea trout tight to the bank in 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. If you only fish one area, make it Rock reef: a rock pile around 1.5 m that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (1.5 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 | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Rock reef (1.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
Come spring, look for atlantic herring tight to the bank 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. Start at Sharp break. It's a drop-off holding about 10 m of water and rates good come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig is the honest summer answer here.

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

| Vinter | 6 to 18 m | midday | Sharp break (10 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Start shallow in spring: atlantic mackerel sit in 1.5 to 14 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 4.5 to 24 m, and winter fish settle into 9 to 37 m. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 10 m of water that rates good for atlantic mackerel in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a feather rig or a small vertical jig until the fish tell you otherwise.

Come spring, look for garfish tight to the bank in 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. If you only fish one area, make it Sharp break: a drop-off around 9 m that scores good in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly is the honest summer answer here.

Start shallow in spring: european flounder sit in 1.5 to 7.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 11 m, and winter fish settle into 4.5 to 15 m. The spot to know is Sharp break, a drop-off in about 10 m of water that rates prime for european flounder in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bottom jig with spinner blade until the fish tell you otherwise.

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 M Hallands N kustvatten - North West 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.

Rock reef is the top-rated area: a rock pile in about 5 ft of water that rates prime for sea trout in spring. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For sea trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
