The issue of fishing tourists taking far more than their quota is beginning to come home here in Norway.
The very generous 20 kg of fillets is not enough for many who have emptied our fjords and fishing places every season - some we know use the fish to pay for their hollidays - as this is a gift from the Norwegian people to those who fish in the first place, to take more than the quota is a direct insult, worse it is plain stealing.
The latest suggestion is that tourists will not be allowed to take home filleted fish - the fish must be whole.
2 years ago the Fishing tourists here at Hustadvika discovered one of our best fishing places and proceeded to empty it - it is about 7 km out to sea so it is dangerous to visit in small boats.
I can catch 30 kg of fish in an hour with a fishing rod on my own - 3 to 5 boats with a minimum of 3 in each there from early til late in the day doesent bear thinking about. They take everything.
What do you think about this?

One of the most powerful emotions is when you have a good fish on the end of your line, truly awesome.
