Norway - Skarnsundet

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!!

One of my guests had the catch of a life time yesterday with this lovely 85 pound halibut!! I think the most exciting thing about the catch for me is that it was taken from 40m deep and 60m from land!!! Shore fishing season has started!!! The other thing is that he was fighting with the fish for 1 and a half hours and it gave him a good battle on his 80g shad and light spinning rod!! The other guys in the boat filmed the best parts so Ill try and get it posted on youtube in the next couple of days!!
