Stunning scenery. That's some achievement anchoring in 500m, must of had something like 2km or anchor rope. We hold the boat over deep marks by either spot locking or backing into the current, in and out of gear all day. Is 500m a common depth to target them ?

So we was dropping in 500 experimentally for anything, there’s greenland sharks that get caught up there in nets we had some info via commercial the BIG halibut do venture deep. But someone’s gotta be bold enough to try basically .

 

 

we had to back down on our drifts when inshore fishing for halibut becuase the wind was so strong.

with 5lbs of lead we didn’t want to hold the rods constant 

(fortunately there isn’t big tidal range there)

same method we used for the sixgills

When I went we all took 50ltr cool boxes and filled them to the brim with fillets, then bought them home!

Yeah next time I’ll take more if I can .

me and Ash split a cool box 

Norwegian law now is you can only take 18kg per person so we just split 9kg each 

Obviously if we wanted another 18kg 

it’s buy a polybox out there £20 then add a check in bag £46

was so glad all the rods turned up and cool box the airlines up there are a nightmare for loosing gear apparently 

its 3 connecting flights 

heathrow oslo

oslo tromso

Tromsø hasvik 

then drive 30min

Nice one mate, guys from our club go every year. They have had cod over 70lb and halibut over a hundred. For some reason it doesn't really appeal to me which is weird as the fishing over there is great, although from what they say it is on the decline a little.

The style of fishing for the cod is not a great appeal agree 

id like the big Coaly they really do go

and of course for the picture a big cod.

but it’s literally we did it but smaller shoals of fish just drop if u can get to the bottom you’ll get a cod almost instantly 

if not you will get picked up by a Coaly mid water

 

where as the halibut fishing requires a lot more thought and finesse 

 

saying that I think in the skrei season the cod actually sit above the Coalys!

 

We fished the Coaly n cod while the orcas were feeding forget to mention that
