Soroya Sea Fishing Norway
It is no wonder that the tourist board on Sørøya have dubbed their island: “The Land of the big fish”. It’s no wonder when the fishing is as varied with fish approaching the maximum size possible for their species in these nutrient rich waters surrounding Sørøya. Every year halibut approaching 220 pounds (100kg) are landed at Sørøya and for every big one, scores of smaller fish are caught. The cod fishing is truly exceptional and in 2008 more than 10 fish weighing over 60lbs were caught - The biggest cod of the season weighing in at an astounding 75lbs! In recent years the coalfish have become more abundant around Sørvaer and specimens ranging from 17 to 33lbs are no longer rare.
