85,737-acre Skjervøy Coast. North. North Norway saltwater fishing map with official Kartverket surveyed 50 m bathymetry, measured-only fishing spots, Institute of Marine Research fish evidence, seasonal forage guidance and public shore-access context. The Skjervøy island coast and exposed current corridors. Northern trip-scale survey reach. Northern trip-scale survey reach. The water tops out around 1251 ft. The depth chart comes from Norwegian Mapping Authority (Kartverket) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 85,734 acres wrapped in 81.2 miles of bank, with 3 islands in the mix. With a 2 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 0% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. End to end it runs roughly 17.8 mi, about 9.1 mi across. Skjervøy Coast - North - South sits 10 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
The target roster combines named-water evidence where available with conservative, habitat-compatible official Norwegian coastal records. It documents occurrence context, not equal abundance, a catch rate or a promised catch. Closed targets are excluded and current rules control every trip. 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, atlantic cod run shallow here, mostly 20 to 100 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 45 to 180 ft, and winter fish settle into 50 to 220 ft. Shoreline point is the standout, a point at roughly 44 ft, rated good for fall atlantic cod. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a heavy metal jig or a large soft-plastic jig most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 20 to 100 ft | dawn | open water | Diamond jig, Heavy bucktail |
| Summer | 45 to 180 ft | dawn | open water | Heavy metal jig, Large soft-plastic jig |
| Fall | 25 to 140 ft | dawn | Shoreline point (44 ft) | Diamond jig, Bucktail with teaser |
| Winter | 50 to 220 ft | midday | open water | Heavy vertical jig |
Early season saithe (coalfish) use the shallows, holding in 15 to 160 ft. Summer is a 25 to 260 ft game here, winter a 45 to 320 ft one. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 214 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a speed jig or a heavy paddletail and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 160 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (44 ft) | Slim metal jig, Paddletail |
| Summer | 25 to 260 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (214 ft) | Speed jig, Heavy paddletail |
| Fall | 20 to 220 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (214 ft) | Metal jig, Baitfish swimbait |
| Winter | 45 to 320 ft | midday | Sharp break (214 ft) | Heavy vertical jig |
When the water first warms, haddock slide up into 35 to 220 ft. Summer is a 60 to 320 ft game here, winter a 70 to 400 ft one. Start at Kartverket measured flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 175 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a compact metal jig or a bottom rig rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 35 to 220 ft | dawn | Kartverket measured flat (175 ft) | Small bottom jig, Beaded trace |
| Summer | 60 to 320 ft | dawn | Sharp break (214 ft) | Compact metal jig, Bottom rig |
| Fall | 45 to 260 ft | midday | Kartverket measured flat (175 ft) | Small vertical jig |
| Winter | 70 to 400 ft | midday | Kartverket measured flat (175 ft) | Deep bottom jig |
Early season atlantic herring use the shallows, holding in 5 to 25 ft. Summer is a 15 to 50 ft game here, winter a 20 to 60 ft one. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a herring feather rig or a small silver jig and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small herring feather rig, Micro jig rig |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Herring feather rig, Small silver jig |
| Fall | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small feather rig, Compact silver spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | open water | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
Come spring, look for atlantic halibut tight to the bank in 45 to 350 ft. Through summer count on 25 to 300 ft; the winter hold is 100 to 600 ft. Start at Kartverket measured flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 175 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A large swimbait or a slow metal jig is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 45 to 350 ft | dawn | Kartverket measured flat (175 ft) | Large paddletail, Heavy bottom jig |
| Summer | 25 to 300 ft | dawn & dusk | Kartverket measured flat (175 ft) | Large swimbait, Slow metal jig |
| Fall | 45 to 380 ft | midday | Kartverket measured flat (175 ft) | Heavy paddletail, Bottom jig |
| Winter | 100 to 600 ft | midday | Sharp break (214 ft) | Heavy vertical jig |
Early season ling use the shallows, holding in 80 to 450 ft. Summer is a 100 to 600 ft game here, winter a 130 to 700 ft one. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 214 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is midday. Tie on a heavy vertical jig and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 80 to 450 ft | midday | Sharp break (214 ft) | Heavy metal jig, Large soft-plastic jig |
| Summer | 100 to 600 ft | midday | Sharp break (214 ft) | Heavy vertical jig |
| Fall | 90 to 520 ft | midday | Sharp break (214 ft) | Long metal jig |
| Winter | 130 to 700 ft | midday | Sharp break (214 ft) | Heavy deep jig |

Skjervøy Coast - North - North is about 1251 ft (381 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from Norwegian Mapping Authority (Kartverket) bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Official coastal monitoring from Kartverket, NGU and Institute of Marine Research coastal base-map program informs the atlantic cod, saithe (coalfish), haddock, atlantic herring, atlantic halibut, ling, cusk (tusk), sea trout roster for Skjervøy Coast - North - North. 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.
Sharp break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 214 ft of water that rates prime for saithe (coalfish) in summer. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For atlantic cod, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
Fishing on Skjervøy Coast - North - North is regulated by the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries (sea-angling rules). Check the official Norway regulations for current license requirements, season dates, and size and bag limits — special regulations can apply to this specific water.
