Giant Cod fishing on your door step.
We have worked long and hard with the tourist board to bring you some of the best Giant Cod fishing Norway has to offer. Working with our partners in Norway, we can offer you fantastic sea fishing, traditional accommodation and self-drive boats that are only a short flight away.
Sandbakken Fishing Resort has an idyllic location on the shores of the Solbergfjorden in Sørreisa beneath 1000 m high mountains. Fishing Solbergfjorden, which is protected from the open sea by Senja, Norway's second largest island; the fishing conditions are therefore not affected by the rough sea and still provide the same fishing opportunities for Cod, Coalfish, Haddock, Redfish, Catfish, Halibut and mighty Salmon.
Fishing is conducted from our self-drive boats, which are all Silver Viking 18 feet, with a 30Hp, four stroke electric start engines. The boats are very roomy and steady at sea ideal for up to four anglers. They even come equipped with sea charts, echo sounders to allow you to fish right over the marks.
The boats are moored right outside the accommodation on our custom-built jetty. As these are all self-drive, you can fish as much or as little as you like, no time limits on these trips, if you want, you can fish until you drop. All boats also come with full safety equipment, life jackets and a 24hr mobile telephone number for any difficulties while fishing.
