Right next to the camp is the Nappstraumen itself, which is very weather protected and allows fishing in almost any weather. Inside Nappstraumen, many large halibut have been landed, usually in really shallow water, which provides exciting bites and spectacular fights. In here and in the nearby sandy bays there is also very good fishing for plaice in shallow water where the fish offer a really good average weight and every year the top fish touch weights around 3 kg.
The possibility of going out on both the north and south sides of Lofoten itself gives fishermen both a choice of fishing spots, but also very good protection from the wind. On one side there can be rough and rough seas, while on the opposite side of Lofoten it is completely calm.
The camp record for halibut is 230 cm, which corresponds to a weight of 168.6 kg. Every year several very large halibut are landed at this camp. Most of the larger specimens have been caught only a few minutes by boat from the camp inside the Nappstraumen itself. The largest cod so far weighed in at 32.8 kg and commercial fishermen report cod over 40 kg every year.
In recent seasons we have also found a couple of areas that most of the season hold really good stocks of coalfish in weights up to 17 kg. The fishing spots are endless on the north side and vary from shallow sandy bays where the halibut thrive to deeper sandy channels and shallow flats where both cod and halibut thrive. At the far end of the deep, there are also many interesting shallow tops that hold fine stocks of coalfish, cods and the occasional really large halibut that hunt freely among the shoals of both mackerel, herring and small coalfish. If the weather is calm, you can also head out to the really big depths to fish for large ling and large redfish. The possibilities are endless and there is something for everyone.
It is not only the fishing itself that offers cool experiences, but here you also have the chance to experience orcas, white-tailed eagles and porpoises up close.
