Easter and things to do.

Now the sun is starting to heat up the sea for real and I can start fishing with lighter gear and get my boat back to it`s right element. With the warmer weather my fishing horizon expands and I`ll be having more hours to fish sinch the daylight soon last 24 hours a day. 
The picture above is from last years easter, one day off the mountain fishing for seatrout somewhere on hammarøya, (Hammer-island). a bit north of Bodoe. Now I have one week off from work, it`s easter again, char is swimming under the freshwater ice, mountains dressed with snow, skiing, flyfishing for seatrout, and my boat need some attention before use. Cannot reach over everything but I`ll do whatever I can to get the most out of this days.

Occationally there has been reports about catch and observations of seabass in the waters outside of Bodø, specially a bit south of Bodø. In the south of Norway it`s common for some anglers to search for this fish and they do catch some. For me this is exciting and I like the thought about beeing one of the lucky anglers that catches one. In my cold waters I think it would be almost impossible, but in theese days I`ll start fishing for seatrout from the shore, with flies and lures. This fishing often leads to some great fights with coalfish or cod, but if I focus my fishing for seatrout closer to open water it might be a greater chance to catch a bass by coincidence. I can also learn to fish some spots that I`ve never fished before, seatrout is to be found everywhere and nowhere.
Check out this trailer, a norwegian bassfishing film.
I`ve been following Henry Gilbeys Website and blog, reading about bassfishing. The subject is really exciting and I need to experience this sometime. Untill I get the chance to do this I will continue to learn about the fish and the methods so I will be as ready as I can.
