19,158-acre Raahe - Hailuoto. Sector 07 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 16 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Kartalla Raahe - Hailuoto - Sector 07 kattaa 7 747 hehtaaria, rantaviivaa 45.9 km, ja saaria on 8. Rantaviiva on kohtalaisen rikkonainen (indeksi 1.5). Noin 16% pinnasta on matalampaa kuin ~5 m — siellä ruokaketju elää. Päästä päähän vesi mittaa noin 16.3 km, leveimmillään 7.4 km. Lähin kartoitettu vesi on Kalajoki - Pyhäjoki - North East, 16.1 km lounaaseen.

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.

In spring, european perch run shallow here, mostly 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. Spring european perch concentrate at Weed flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2.5 m. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) most summer days.
| Kausi | Syvyys | Paras aika | Aloita | Vieheet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevät | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Weed flat (2.5 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Kesä | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Syksy | 3 to 10 m | midday | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Talvi | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Sharp break (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 0.5 to 2.5 m. Summer pushes them deeper, 2.5 to 6 m, and winter fish settle into 1.5 to 4.5 m. Weed flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2.5 m, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.

Spring puts atlantic herring in skinny water — 1.5 to 7.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 15 m; cold water stacks them in 5 to 16 m. Deepest basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 16 m, rated prime for winter atlantic herring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A herring feather rig or a small silver jig covers the summer program.

When the water first warms, european whitefish slide up into 3 to 12 m. Summer is a 5 to 16 m game here, winter a 5 to 16 m one. Start at Deepest basin. It's a deep basin holding about 16 m of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small vertical spoon or a micro jig rigged through the warm months.

Start shallow in spring: sea trout sit in 1 to 6 m that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 4.5 to 15 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 9 m. Top water on the chart: Rock reef, a rock pile in the 1 m range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a deep-running wobbler or a trolled spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
