If sea fishing is running through your veins - Norway has it all. Stunning scenery, generally sheltered sea fishing, a huge choice of species and a chance to beat your personal best.
Anglers World holidays have spent years researching coastal sea fishing in Norway. To experience huge catches of quality fish this is the place to visit, the sea fishing simply gets better the further north you go.
The combination of the gulf stream and the Arctic ocean, together with Norway's strict commercial sea fishing policy has resulted in an increase of big coastal cod and halibut populations. Our clients frequently report 30, 40, 50lb cod each season with 60 to 70lb cod being caught occasionally. Haddock can also weigh into double figures, huge halibut exceeding 400lb are also reported in these waters, usually in late summer into early autumn. Big coalfish also arrive close to shore in the Troms Region in late summer which can exceed 30lb plus.
Off season fishing is great value, not quite as prolific as high summer, but big cod and halibut can be targeted. Located 300km above the Arctic Circle these sheltered fjords provide 24 hours of daylight from late May into early August.
Our top sea fishing centres include Torsvag, Lauklines, Skjervoy, Xlyngen and Soroya. Top fishing for big cod, halibut, coal fish, wolf fish and haddock from April to October. Torsvag and Lauklines also offer bespoke skippered fishing on a complete charter basis.
Boats are supplied with buoyancy jackets. Some centres will hire floatation suits ideal during the off peak months. Most centres have tackle for sale or hire on site. Each centre will provide a short induction upon arrival prior to supplying your boat.
Please note registered fishing camps are obliged to report catches to the fisheries authorities and visiting anglers are now required to complete a catch report whilst in resort. 18kg of fish fillets per person can be exported. Trophy size and undersize fish must be released. Rules are subject to change. If you are intending to bring home some fish please check the following site for the latest rules:
