When the water first warms, european perch slide up into 1 to 3.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 8.5 m, and by winter most fish are in 3.5 to 10 m. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |

| Höst | 3 to 10 m | midday | Offshore hump (3.5 m) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Offshore hump (3.5 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring northern pike on Skagern hold shallow, usually 0.5 to 2.5 m. By summer they slide out to 2.5 to 6 m, and by winter most fish are in 1.5 to 4.5 m.

The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.

If you only fish one area, make it Rock reef: a rock pile around 1 m that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Keep a vertical softbait over humps or a deep crankbait rigged through the warm months.
| Säsong | Djup | Bästa tid | Börja vid | Beten |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (1 m) | Softbait on jighead (10-12 cm), Shallow crankbait at dusk |

Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 7.5 to 21 m. Summer is a 15 to 37 m game here, winter a 4.5 to 18 m one. The chart's best answer is Offshore hump — offshore hump, 3.5 m, prime for winter. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.

Spring puts arctic char in skinny water — 1 to 4.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 18 m; cold water stacks them in 3 to 12 m. Offshore hump is the standout, an offshore hump at roughly 3.5 m, rated prime for winter arctic char. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) covers the summer program.
