Here you’ll find some of Sweden’s best waters for deep sea fishing. There are many different species and the chances of catching big fishes are good. Fish from your own boat or call a skipper of a touring boat and book a space.

Season: Spring – catfish and cod. Summer – mackerel, saithe, whiting and cod. Autumn – mackerel and piked dogfish. Late autumn and winter – large cod.

Fishing methods:
1. Pater Noster tackle – sinker and a couple of hooks baited with mussel, herring, squid or mackerel. This is the best method for catfish, flatfishes, ling, piked dogfish and ray, i.e. all fishes that live on the seabed
2. Jig tackle – A jig at the bottom and a couple of hooks above the jig. This is the best method for cod and pelagic species like mackerel, saithe, pollack and whiting.

Fishing in the sea is free. However, there are some protected areas outside brooks, where rod fishing is allowed only during the period 1 April - 30 September. The Best Coast archipelago is one of the best sea trout waters in Europe. Come in April or May when the spring evenings and mornings offer excellent fishing. During the summer months of July and August, fishing is most rewarding at night, and then preferably with fly. Other species are also available. Bottom fishing for flatfish and cod is at times very good. There are also unusual species like mullet and perch. The mullet is caught by angling or with fly. The perch is caught by spin troll.

1. Species: Sea trout and garpike.
Fishing method: Normal spinning at a depth of 1/2-4 metres where there are 'spotted' sea beds, i.e. sandy with scattered tufts of seaweed. Fast and jerky when reeling in.
