63,296-acre Skjervøy Coast. South. East 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. Southern trip-scale survey reach. Eastern trip-scale survey reach. The water tops out around 1438 ft. The depth chart comes from Norwegian Mapping Authority (Kartverket) 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:
Skjervøy Coast - South - East maps at 63,334 acres behind 71.3 miles of shoreline — 2 islands included. With a 2 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 1% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 18.9 mi of water from one end to the other, 10.2 mi at the beam. Skjervøy Coast - South - West sits 10 mi west — 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.

Spring puts atlantic cod in skinny water — 20 to 100 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 45 to 180 ft; cold water stacks them in 50 to 220 ft. Sharp break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 53 ft, rated good for spring atlantic cod. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A heavy metal jig or a large soft-plastic jig covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 20 to 100 ft | dawn | Sharp break (53 ft) | Diamond jig, Heavy bucktail |
| Summer | 45 to 180 ft | dawn | Sharp break (53 ft) | Heavy metal jig, Large soft-plastic jig |
| Fall | 25 to 140 ft | dawn | Sharp break (53 ft) | Diamond jig, Bucktail with teaser |
| Winter | 50 to 220 ft | midday | open water | Heavy vertical jig |
Spring saithe (coalfish) on Skjervøy Coast - South - East hold shallow, usually 15 to 160 ft. By summer they slide out to 25 to 260 ft, and by winter most fish are in 45 to 320 ft. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 53 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a speed jig or a heavy paddletail.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 160 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline point (26 ft) | Slim metal jig, Paddletail |
| Summer | 25 to 260 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (53 ft) | Speed jig, Heavy paddletail |
| Fall | 20 to 220 ft | dawn & dusk | Sharp break (53 ft) | Metal jig, Baitfish swimbait |
| Winter | 45 to 320 ft | midday | Sharp break (53 ft) | Heavy vertical jig |
Come spring, look for haddock tight to the bank in 35 to 220 ft. Expect a summer slide to 60 to 320 ft, then a winter hold in 70 to 400 ft. Start at Kartverket measured flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 201 ft of water and rates prime come fall. Prime time lands in early morning. A compact metal jig or a bottom rig is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 35 to 220 ft | dawn | Kartverket measured flat (201 ft) | Small bottom jig, Beaded trace |
| Summer | 60 to 320 ft | dawn | Sharp break (53 ft) | Compact metal jig, Bottom rig |
| Fall | 45 to 260 ft | midday | Kartverket measured flat (201 ft) | Small vertical jig |
| Winter | 70 to 400 ft | midday | Kartverket measured flat (201 ft) | Deep bottom jig |
Spring atlantic herring on Skjervøy Coast - South - East hold shallow, usually 5 to 25 ft. By summer they slide out to 15 to 50 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 60 ft. The chart's best answer is Sharp break — drop-off, 53 ft, good for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a herring feather rig or a small silver jig.
| 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 | Sharp break (53 ft) | 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 | Sharp break (53 ft) | Small silver jig, Sparse feather rig |
When the water first warms, atlantic halibut slide up into 45 to 350 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 25 to 300 ft, winter 100 to 600 ft. Start at Kartverket measured flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 201 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a large swimbait or a slow metal jig rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 45 to 350 ft | dawn | Kartverket measured flat (201 ft) | Large paddletail, Heavy bottom jig |

Skjervøy Coast - South - East is about 1438 ft (438 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 - South - East. 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 53 ft of water that rates prime for saithe (coalfish) in summer. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each 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.
