Competition in the fjord of skjerstad

This weekend the annual seatrout and halibut competition is taking up all the time. We signed up yesterday and went out on the skjerstadfjord at 1900 hours, seatrout was the target for yesterdays trolling, the wind was hard and we had a bit of waves. Wind, rain and hail and the fact that Aage had left his gloves in the car sent us back in to Tuvsjyen. 4 hours of fishing gave us one 13lbs coalfish and a broken wire on the downrigger that resulted in 13lbs of lead and one Scotty climb on the bottom of the fjord. 
We are entering the fjord at 12 O`clock to day for more trolling and if the wind has stopped there might be a chance of halibut.
The weather is coming in from the north and everyone that has grown up in this parts of Norway knows that it`s not good for fishing, but I know that two seatrouts, about 7lbs had been reported in last night, and that is not the end.   
To be continued....
