Sounds like you still had a great trip despite the bad weather! Did you get your 40?

 

No never got my 40, only 2x 40s caught and not by me but i beat my pb cod twice in two days with 31lb then 32lb cod ha, i had cod in the high 20s every day but because we could not get out the fjord it was hard going.

I was disapointed mine to see Norway has changed the rules and can now use nets, not trawlers but nets, one of the days we got out the fjord we headed straight for west loppa at Loppbean and it was netted out...we thought long lines until we seen them pull it in..spoke to the host and he confirmed it is now ok to net for locals.

best day was over 1000s of cod and over 100lb of halibut, worst day less than 50lb of cod and a few worf fish...sea was rough or very rough every single day 24hrs a day ha

 

hi northeast 1,looks like you had to work for the fish but you still did well by the sound of it ,unlucky with the weather it can be rough out to sea.
what was your best tackticks for the halibut,going in four weeks and cant wait.

 

we had all our butts on sidewinder shads in 50-60m of water not far from the harbour due to the weather.

Best cod on "dead" coalies and quick drop pirks but tbh if i was not in Norway and fishing from my boat in the NE coast, i would of gone to sea maybe 2 days off that week it was that windy and rough ha.

Still cant wait for next ear and the camp n owner was great in every way as always.

 

Sounds like the fishing was good, shame about the weather. It can get pretty hairy there and it can happen quite suddenly as well been there done that.

Just bad luck I guess, roll on next year.

 

Nice report rich shame about weather but still had some good fish were awayto skjervoy 1st august 2014
