27,582-acre Raahe - Hailuoto. Sector 04 Finland coastal fishing map with an exact official national water-body boundary, EMODnet 2024 official Finnish hydrographic chart/DTM assessed contours, source-assessed fishing spots, official regional fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance, public-access review and current-rule links. Official Syke VHS 2022 named coastal water in Bothnian Bay. 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 12 m. The depth chart comes from EMODnet, with national hydrographic source-reference audit official hydrographic-chart depth models, so the contours are chart-derived rather than computer-modeled; no directly measured sounding coverage is claimed. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Vesi piirtyy 11 155 hehtaarin laajuisena, rantaa 48.3 km. Allas on yksinkertainen (rantaindeksi 1.3) — lähes malja, joten syvyyskäyrät merkitsevät enemmän kuin ranta. Noin 28% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 19.3 km, leveimmillään 11.4 km. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Olkijoki - Siikajoki - Säärenperä - North West, 4.8 km kaakkoon.

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.

Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 8.5 m, then a winter hold in 3.5 to 10 m. Put Weed 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. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Sharp break (6 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (6 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Deepest basin (12 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 0.5 to 2.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 2.5 to 6 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Start at Weed flat. It's a weed flat holding about 2 m of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2 m) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (6 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Syksy | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (3 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Weed flat (2 m) | Large jigging spoon |
Spring atlantic herring on Raahe - Hailuoto - Sector 04 hold shallow, usually 1.5 to 7.5 m. By summer they slide out to 3.5 to 12 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 12 m. The chart's best answer is Deepest basin — deep basin, 12 m, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a herring feather rig or a small silver jig.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1.5 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (4.5 m) | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Kesä | 3.5 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (12 m) | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Syksy | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (12 m) | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 12 m | midday | Deepest basin (12 m) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Spring puts european whitefish in skinny water — 3 to 12 m is the zone. Summer fish stay in 3.5 to 12 m, and winter fish hold in 3.5 to 12 m. Deepest basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 12 m, rated prime for spring european whitefish. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small vertical spoon or a micro jig covers the summer program.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 3 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Deepest basin (12 m) | Small silver spoon, Micro blade bait |

| Syksy | 1.5 to 11 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (4.5 m) | Small gold spoon, Micro jig |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 12 m | midday | Deepest basin (12 m) | Small jigging spoon |
Early season sea trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 6 m. Summer is a 3.5 to 12 m game here, winter a 1.5 to 9 m one. The chart's best answer is Rock reef — rock pile, 4.5 m, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon and you're in the game.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Rock reef (4.5 m) | Slim coastal spoon, Shallow-running wobbler |
| Kesä | 3.5 to 12 m | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (6 m) | Deep-running wobbler, Trolled spoon |
| Syksy | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (2 m) | Coastal wobbler, Casting spoon |
| Talvi | 1.5 to 9 m | midday | Rock reef (4.5 m) | Slow coastal spoon, Suspending wobbler |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european smelt in 1 to 7.5 m. As the season builds they drop to 3.5 to 12 m, wintering in 3.5 to 12 m. Top water on the chart: Deepest basin, a deep basin in the 12 m range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a tiny vertical spoon or a micro jig gets it done.

No active municipality-, consortium-, or state-owned LIPAS fishing, boating, beach, swimming, canoe or motor-boat facility 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, permits 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 Finland waters are set by the Kalastusrajoitus.fi (official current Finnish fishing-restriction service) — and special regulations can apply to Raahe - Hailuoto - Sector 04 specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish. Check Kalastusrajoitus.fi, current protection periods and permit requirements before every Finnish coastal trip. Local no-fishing areas, river-mouth restrictions, protected species, minimum sizes, seasonal closures, gear rules, the fisheries-management fee and water-owner permissions may apply. A mapped hydrographic contour, fishing-spot marker or nearby LIPAS public facility is planning context only and never grants fishing, retention, shoreline entry, parking, launching or safe-navigation permission.
