534-acre lake in Norway. The lake tops out around 123 m. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
På kartet dekker Storbunkevatnet 216 hektar innenfor 7.2 km strandlinje. Bassenget er enkelt (strandindeks 1.4) — nesten en bolle, så dybdekurvene betyr mer enn stranden. Omtrent 8% av flaten er grunnere enn ~5 m — der maten finnes. Fra ende til ende måler vannet omtrent 2.9 km, på det bredeste 1.3 km. Vannet ligger i Tranøy kommune. Nærmeste kartlagte vann er Litje Bunkevatnet, 3.2 km mot nord.
Gratis interaktivt fiskekart — Storbunkevatnet, Norge: dybdekoter fra ekte dybdemålinger ned til 123 m (404 fot), og de beste fiskeplassene for ørret, abbor, gjedde med flere. Dybdekartet er modellberegnet fra innsjøens virkelige strandlinje og største dybde — bruk det som en veiledning, aldri til navigasjon.
Early season brown trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 7.5 m. Expect a summer slide to 7.5 to 18 m, then a winter hold in 1.5 to 11 m. Put Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 6.5 m that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and early morning. Tie on a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) and you're in the game.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 7.5 m | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (6.5 m) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Sommer | 7.5 to 18 m | night & dawn | Main-lake point (6.5 m) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Høst | 1.5 to 9 m | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (6.5 m) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 11 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts european perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.5 m is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 2.5 to 8.5 m, wintering in 3.5 to 10 m. Spring european perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated feeding flat around 4 m. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) covers the summer program.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 3.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 m) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 8.5 m | dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 m) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Høst | 3 to 10 m | midday | open water | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Vinter | 3.5 to 10 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 m) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 0.5 to 2.5 m is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2.5 to 6 m; cold water stacks them in 1.5 to 4.5 m. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 4 m, rated prime for winter northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 0.5 to 2.5 m | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Sommer | 2.5 to 6 m | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (4 m) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Høst | 2 to 5.5 m | midday & dawn | Secondary point (3.5 m) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Vinter | 1.5 to 4.5 m | midday | Shallow bay flat (4 m) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 4.5 to 14 m. Summer is a 12 to 27 m game here, winter a 7.5 to 21 m one. Start at Back-bay flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 5 m of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 4.5 to 14 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (5 m) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Sommer | 12 to 27 m | dawn | open water | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | dusk | Main-lake point (6.5 m) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Vinter | 7.5 to 21 m | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (5 m) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, arctic char slide up into 1 to 4.5 m. Summer is a 6 to 18 m game here, winter a 3 to 12 m one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 4 m of water and rates good come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) rigged through the warm months.
| Sesong | Dybde | Beste tid | Start ved | Agn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vår | 1 to 4.5 m | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 m) | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Sommer | 6 to 18 m | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Høst | 2.5 to 9 m | midday & dusk | open water | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Vinter | 3 to 12 m | midday & dawn | open water | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |

Storbunkevatnet is about 404 ft (123 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Storbunkevatnet er på det dypeste omtrent 123 meter (404 fot). Dybdene kommer fra virkelige målinger.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike, lake whitefish, arctic char on Storbunkevatnet. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a feeding flat in about 13 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in winter. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For brown trout, the summer bite is best in after dark and early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
