Escorted Cod Fishing Soroya Norway
9 days / 6 Fishing days
Check out this escorted fishing holiday hosted by Paul Stevens to “The Land of the big fish”. Home to the real monster Cod, but why do they call it “The Land of the big fish”
Well it’s no surprise when the fishing is as varied with fish approaching the maximum size possible for their species in these nutrient rich waters surrounding Sørøya. 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! To give you some idea about the fishing in Sørøya Cod around the 20k mark are considered small and quite often are released quickly with out pictures so the angler can get back down to try and catch a more trophy size fish.
Havoysund is a paradise for all types of sea anglers and nature lovers alike. Its one of the most Northerly destinations in Norway, meaning the cold, clear waters bordering on the Arctic Circle make for the perfect habitat for huge Halibut, Cod, Coalfish, Plaice & Haddock. All the fish species grow to huge specimen proportions, with Halibut being a star attraction with fish in the 10-100kg bracket caught regularly. Last year it produced a colossal fish of 165kg! Cod between 3-15kg are in abundance, and one gem, Havoysund is also famous for is it’s unbelievable Plaice fishing, as just outside the camp in the shallow water of the shoreline large Plaice between 2-4kg are regularly caught.
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. The signature fish of this area is without a doubt the halibut. 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!
Tromso/ Langsundet is just 45km north of Norway’s largest city, Tromso which is home to 66’000 people, Tromso is often referred to as ‘Paris of the North’ with its many bars, restaurants and outdoor cafes. This destination is what we like to call weather proof and ideally suited to those who are looking for fishing experience, but have a tendency to suffer from sea ‘sickness’. This destination, however, also offers some of the best Halibut fishing available, with the average size being a massive 20-30kg! Large Cod up to 20kg are also caught, as well as specimen sized Plaice. You may even be lucky enough to hook into a Monkfish, Starry Ray or Spotted Catfish!
