Hello
Ive had 2 groups of guests over from England this week and both have had success on the Halibut! The first were Phill Buckley and his crew from Liverpool! The lads were asking me were would be the best chance of a halibut from, I showed them the place were the last ones had been taken from!! 3 hours later and they come into the shop, laughing and joking and asking me if I know how to filliet a halibut!! At just over 7 kilo it was a lovely fish!!
The lads also enjoyed great fishing on the cod to 18 pounds and coalfish to 15 on the light gear they are fantastic sport!
The great thing about skarnsundet is its position in the fjord, which means that boat fishing is possible every day no matter which way the wind is blowing!! Paul Channing has also been here for a week having ago at the shore fishing and with Plaice to 3 pounds and some new marks descovered it was a good week for him!! The best came on his lastnight when we took a trip out on the boat! His first drop down on a medium spinning rod, rigged with 3/4 of a bluey and he was in!! 35 min later and I managed to slip the net under his 11kilo Halibut, we were over the moon! After 20min I gave up trying to put the fish back as it had warn its self down so much there were no signs of life even thou we netted it!!
I know there are much bigger Halibut in Norway but I get as much enjoyment when my guests catch a 5 kilo one or a 30 kilo!!
Thanks for looking
Cheers
Phill
