16,881-acre N Bohusläns skärgårds S 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 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 132 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 the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
N Bohusläns skärgårds S kustvatten - South mäter 6 832 hektar bakom 104.3 km strandlinje, uppbruten av 185 öar. Ett strandindex på 3.6 betyder en labyrint av vikar och uddar: många fler kastmål än en rund sjö i samma storlek. Ungefär 2% av ytan är grundare än ~5 m — där finns vegetationen och betesfisken. Räkna med 16.4 km vatten från ena änden till den andra och 11.3 km på bredden. Väderöfjorden ligger 6.4 km åt öster — närmaste grannvatten på kartan.
Gratis interaktiv fiskekarta — N Bohusläns skärgårds S kustvatten — South, Sverige: djupkurvor från riktiga djupmätningar ner till 132 m (432 fot), och de bästa fiskeplatserna för havsöring, sill och strömming, makrill 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.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: sea trout in 1 to 6 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 4.5 to 15 m before dropping to 1.5 to 9 m for winter. The spot to know is Rock reef, a rock pile in about 4.5 m of water that rates prime for sea trout in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon gets it done.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (4.5 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (4.5 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Höst | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (4.5 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Rock reef (4.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
In spring, atlantic herring run shallow here, mostly 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. Spring atlantic herring concentrate at Rock reef, a good-rated rock pile around 4.5 m. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a herring feather rig or a small silver jig most summer days.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (4.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Sommar | 4.5 to 15 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| 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 |
Early season atlantic mackerel use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 4.5 to 24 m game here, winter a 9 to 37 m one. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 26 m, good for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a feather rig or a small vertical jig and you're in the game.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: garfish in 0.5 to 4.5 m. Midsummer fish sit out in 0.5 to 6 m before dropping to 6 to 18 m for winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a slim casting spoon or a surface-skipping fly gets it done.

| Höst | 2.5 to 9 m | dawn & dusk | open water | Weighted slim spoon, Small silver jig |
| Vinter | 6 to 18 m | midday | open water |
Early season european flounder use the shallows, holding in 1.5 to 7.5 m. Summer is a 2 to 11 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 15 m one. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a bottom jig with spinner blade and you're in the game.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |

| Vår | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dusk | open water | Small bucktail dragged on bottom |

| Vinter | 4.5 to 15 m | midday | open water | Small bottom jig |
Spring puts european plaice in skinny water — 2.5 to 11 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2 to 12 m, wintering in 7.5 to 24 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A light spooned bottom rig or a beaded trace covers the summer program.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |

| Vår | 2.5 to 11 m | dusk | open water | Beaded flowing trace |

No Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management active bathing location matched within 400 metres of this exact mapped shoreline. This is an access-evidence gap, not a claim that public access does not exist. Verify land ownership, local signs, parking, safety and fishing permission before entry.
Private land and private launches need the owner's permission — please ask first.
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 N Bohusläns skärgårds S 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.

N Bohusläns skärgårds S kustvatten - South is about 432 ft (132 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.

Official coastal monitoring from Sweden national fisheries and coastal monitoring agencies informs the sea trout, atlantic herring, atlantic mackerel, garfish, european flounder, european plaice, saithe (coalfish), atlantic cod roster for N Bohusläns skärgårds S kustvatten - South. The mixed roster combines exact-water records where available with habitat-filtered regional evidence; not every species is documented at this exact water, and it is not a promise of equal abundance or a catch on a particular trip.
Rock reef is the top-rated area: a rock pile in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for sea trout in spring. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by 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.
