Fishing the open sea! in arctic Norway

[@derekmay8679]

Those Mackerel reminded me of my childhood holidays in Cornwall...We had bona-fide 2lbers there back in the late 70s,80s...My old grandad used to call them Ocean Goers lol...Happy days fresh smoking them on the Beach.. Cheers Billy....Cheers for the great video again 👍 👏

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Glad you liked it brother, if only we could bring back the old days! See you on the beach 😁👌

[@glockeva1]

Mackerel fishing in Cornwall where I live can still be very good and the odd 2 lb one can still be had from time to time, great sport on light tackle caught individually.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

@glockeva1 good to hear, does fish have almost disappeared most places, thanks Brother 😁👌

[@taranscott155]

I love mackerel fishing, provided it's one at a time and not by the string load. Tasty, great bait, and they go like the clappers on light gear. Another fabulous video - I think Nat Geo should be knocking on your door 🙂

[@Billyfishing_watch]

I could not agree more brother, one at a time is the way to go! But I'll have to leave it at that, there's somebody knocking at the door 🤣👌

[@pimhartman3719]

Out by the open sea, you advised me a couple of years ago. And it works for me. That trip I catch even my first halibut from shore. Nice episode again. Thnx

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Anytime Pim! Glad it worked out for you. Thanks Brother, much appreciated 😁👌

[@akwamarsunzal]

I went off eating fish for several months! Couldnt stand the smell or eating it! I started to smoke mackerel in a little smoker and they are absolutely bloody delicious! What an amazing fish! If you don´t eat it, other fish will! LOL

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Too many muddy catfish! That's your problem brother! A few smokey mackerel, just what the fishmonger ordered 😋 thanks Brother 😁👌

Deadly stuff bro! Beautiful looking spot to fish! Had some similar size mackies in west cork a few weeks ago

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Ciaran! At least the fishing still good in some parts of our beautiful country! Is Justin fortunate about the rest, thanks brother 😁👌

[@motorsnutts6594]

Stunning spot once again billy, can’t imagine you can park very close to this one 😂, appreciate your efforts brother 🤘🏼

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Paul. I don't see the point in going to Norway. If all you're going to do is stand on a pair, and fish the same Mark that everybody else does. It is actually more difficult to find these places, the most people would imagine! Thanks brother 😁👌

Thanks Brother, will do 😁👌

[@oldandfound1]

Ain't it so? Was a time when we fished land locked salmon called Kokanee in Pacific northwest waters of Washington. Ya gitcha a pot and throw in some whole kernel corn, a box of cornmeal, and a can of minced Mackerel, maybe with some special oils thrown in for measure.like Anise. Stir that all up and fling it across the water with a salad spoon a 'chummin''. A kernel of corn on a small hook for a tender mouthed Kokanee cast along the thin chum line. What fun. Schools would pass by and the fishing was a frenzy. Then nothing for a while. The recipe was dead without Mackerel. For your distance casting you might want a Trebuchet to fling the chum.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Yes, isn't that just the way it went everywhere! Unfortunately the powers that be, ignore these problems just so they can line their own pockets. What are you going to do brother, thanks 😁👌

[@MikeHallAngling]

Great video Billy. I once had a 25lb coal fish and it was a crazy fight, one I will always remember. All the best from North Wales

[@Billyfishing_watch]

What a fantastic fish! Must have been a hell of a scrap. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@michastec6766]

For me cod is the stinky one, they're just nasty. Always defecating everywhere 🤢. Nice mackerel! They really do get big here, I caught many weighing almost 2kg. They're like baby tuna especially if you get one on every hook on the feathers. Great video as always Billy! See you on the beach!

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Don't you just love it! When a cod craps all the way down your leg 🤣 yes! You got to love those mackerel. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks brother, glad you like the video! Unfortunately I'm on my way in the other direction, who knows maybe someday 😁👌

[@bpmurray]

Looks good - I've caught mackerel of 1kg+ in Malangen - amazing fight, feels like something much bigger. We've fished Arctic Norway every year for the past 20 years (apart from COVID time) and we were wondering if it was worth trying further south - is the fishing around Trondheim as good as it is around Tromsø? In particular we love big coalfish - my PB is over 15kg, so getting to something like that would be great. I've actually posted a video of one of us catching a big coalfish on a fly rod - it is pretty intense!

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Fantastic! You can't be a good mac attack, thanks brother, and tight lines 😁👌

[@benscott6311]

Been watching for a few months and would love to see you fish my home waters of Australia. You would have a blast

Great video Nice to see the mackerel again You may think it's a wee bit stupid Is it ok to use spinning rods for fishing jigs ?

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi Niall. Potato, potato! It's the same thing really. No worries brother, of course you can. Thanks bud😁👌

[@7cColin]

Great place, nice session. I hate wee coalies, disgusting smelly little buggers (except when I can't catch anything else, which this year has been quite bloody often). How beautiful is Norway? It's on the bucket list. See you on the beach Billy.

Thanks again for sharing your fishing adventures. I'm sorry if you have answered this question before but when you travel Norway do you speak Norwegian wherever possible?, I plan to visit myself and I know Norwegian people in general can speak good English however what level of Norwegian do you speak?, also what Norwegian phrases would you recommend to get by and show the natives that efforts to speak Norwegian is being made?. Thanks and sorry for the off topic questions. Keep making these videos 👍👍

Low water is always a good point to start! Because you can assess where all the snugs are. But sometimes you just need to roll the dice, and fish whatever way is possible! Thanks Brother 😁👌

Any advice on not getting the leader knot from stopping line in cast. Just trying to get into beach fishing.my leader jeeps catching when i am trying to cast. I presume a multiplier reel wouldnt have this issus as the line peels off parallel to leader knot.

Are you talking spinning tackle or surf casting?

@Billyfishing_watch casting 60g spinners and 2oz leads.My main line Is 25lb line with 35lb shock leader. I probably have it set up wrong but the knot is always catching.
