Last weekend I had to take my boat out off the water, I had rented a space in a nearby harbour for one month and the first of may was the last day. Now the person that has a contract for the summer can place his boat there and use it for a couple of days during the summer like he did last year. During april I have had more than 80 hours in my boat and I guess that is way more than many boatowners use their beloved symbol of status during the whole year. My boat is a cheap but practical and well functioned 6 meters of fishing machine that can take on some beating and waves, the captain is only a beginner on the sea and the 130 hp honda comes in handy when I need to evacuate from ruff water.

Over the weekend I`ll need to set out my boat again and then I will place it in Saltstraumen. There is a small fishingcamp (Tuvsjyen). Last year I had my boat there and it is only a short trip away from Skjerstadfjorden where the fishing can be great for most of the species that we find in our waters at this lattitude. And by going through the tight passage between skjerstadfjorden and saltenfjorden there is only minutes away from several great spots for great cods and halibuts. If you are thinking about fishing in Bodoe Tuvsjyen is a great place to start. Boat rental and fishing gear, spots for great coalies, cod and halibut just minutes away, have fun.

Shorefishing is always close to my hart so I will perform this fishing as often as possible. In my parts of Norway you will use several years to cover all aspects of shorefishing with all the species and how to catch them through all seasons. winter is a real challenge for most fishing but if you dare... soon I can start fishing freshwater again for brown trout and char, and the rivers..........

Sagelva with it`s perfect terrain for shallow water fishing.

  Had to post a pic of my girlfriend looking for waking fish in the sea. We were at a great spot in skjerstadfjorden fishing for seatrout couple of years ago, one of the more popular places for this kind of fishing. We allways visit this place to search for seatrout. Small streams of freshwater from the mountains, sandbanks and often lots of herring comes in and makes this place a perfect feeding ground for the fish.   

I always fish with the fly at this place, that makes the fishing perfect.

keep in mind that there is almost three meters of water between low tide and high tide...
