729-acre lake near Gislaved. The lake tops out around 23 m. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
På kartan täcker Majsjön 299 hektar innanför 22 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 2 öar. Ett strandindex på 3.6 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 60% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 5.5 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 1.9 km på bredden. Sjön ligger i Gislaved kommun. Gransjön ligger 3.2 km åt sydost — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 3.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 2.5 to 8.5 m before dropping to 3.5 to 10 m for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Break off the point (11 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Break off the point (11 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 0.5 to 2.5 m that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 2 m of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommar | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Höst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: zander in 1 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 11 m before dropping to 6 to 12 m for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 11 m of water that rates prime for zander in fall. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (6 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (11 m) | Vertical softbait over humps, Deep crankbait |
| Höst | 3.5 to 12 m | dusk & night | Break off the point (11 m) | Big softbait (12-16 cm) slow-rolled, Jigging spoon |
| Vinter | 6 to 12 m | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (11 m) | Vertical jig / mormyshka with bait, Slow blade bait |
Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 7.5 to 21 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 7 to 23 m, wintering in 4.5 to 18 m. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 20 m. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 7.5 to 21 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (20 m) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Sommar | 7 to 23 m chart-limited; documented 15 to 37 m | night & midday | Deep basin (20 m) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Höst | 7 to 23 m chart-limited; documented 9 to 24 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (20 m) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Vinter | 4.5 to 18 m | night & dusk | Deep basin (20 m) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 4.5 to 14 m. Expect a summer slide to 7 to 23 m, then a winter hold in 7.5 to 21 m. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 20 m that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.

Early season roach use the shallows, holding in 0.5 to 3 m. Expect a summer slide to 1 to 5.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 11 m. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 2 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a tiny spoon or a micro jig and you're in the game.
