Norway Halibut Fishing From The Shore | Lofoten Islands Norway

Here’s a nice little video from my weeks fishing in the Lofoten islands Norway. I set myself a target for a 20lb halibut which I thought was a realistic target to meet…..i achieved bigger! Norway is a very special place to me and will always be my get away destination to relax and feel at peace with the world. Hope you all enjoy the video 🇳🇴🇳🇴

[@EarlsFishingAdventures]

Been waiting for this video , So happy for you differently a really lovey looking place to fish . That 31lb Halibut was a monster, the fight was awesome digging deep. I was looking forward to you explaining the type of gear you need and rigs and so on. But it doesn't matter the video with all the action catching fish was all ya need . Well done mate

[@fishtales9688]

Hiya mate, I don’t go through all the rigs as I like to make the most of fishing time and give it 100% commitment while out there. I’ve however done a video previously to what I use in Norway… check it out in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3OteH2peJmhrJo

[@selfdestructint]

Hi Tom, realise this is an old video, but really enjoying your videos, learning a lot, happy to see you had a good time in Norway, despite Norwimby comments. Looking forward to do some fishing in Milford Haven/Angle/Freshwater West in the next few weeks. Greets from a Norwegian exile in Carmarthenshire.

Cheers buddy, anything I can help with just DM me on the FishTales instagram page 🎣🎣🇳🇴

[@joedennehy386]

Mate great video, but if you put your fingers under a fishes gill plate, they will probably die. They swim away then asphixiate from damaged gills. You may as well eat them.

[@fishtales9688]

Most fish were eaten mate

Hi Man, great video! What kind of bait are you using for halibut from the shore? An entire fish?

[@fishtales9688]

Bluey and herring mate

[@arrondavison6355]

Hi Buddy great work, can I ask where to find the details of where you stayed, and what time of year you went?

hello im going to lofoten this summer in leknes is this a good place for cod halibut etc?😊

[@fishtales9688]

Yes mate plenty of areas around leknes only a short drive

[@nicholasdicosmo8716]

What are all the species of fish you guys caught? I am from the states and would love to one day fish from the shores of Norway.

[@fishtales9688]

Hiya mate, we had a good variety. Cod, coalfish, whiting, pollock, redfish, haddock, plaice, dabs, halibut & scorpion fish.

[@Kudown]

U should rent a boat its fun to Get Big ones from shore yes . But i would recomend boat you don’t need to go far out since there is Big ones so near shore and its fun driving. Better for The inviorment from shore but if you gonne catch Big ones use Big bates and lures with Big hooks if not you most likely gonne catch smaller ones but still good to eat tho. Ofc haha

[@tomjenkinson8958]

Do you do best with live baits?

I haven’t no, only done skarsundet, lofoten and bodo

@@SharkBaits I've boat fished skjervoy 4 times We done very well on halibut very close to shore near the waterfalls Close I've mean 30_80yrds in Fished from 5mtrs to 30mtrs Found kill zone was soon as you hit 15mtrs Another very good spot was the ferry port just as u go over the bridge to skjervoy We had them to 54lb and lots of 20-30lb just on the tip of the rock Another group with us landed a 200lber same mark on a shad

[@SharkBaits]

@@madfishermanwest200 thank you so much for that info. I’m guessing from what your saying that catching from the shore is doable. Least fingers crossed. Thank you very much for the info. I better start getting some beefed up gear for a 200lber lol.

Which area are you heading too buddy?

[@jamiemarchant2687]

@Fish Tales I'm working in Oslo. So any marks around there would be good. But I'm also happy to drive. I wondering how far north I need to go to find the decent fishing. I'm going fishing this morning. A spot called "Verdens Ende" about 2 hrs from my digs.

[@fishtales9688]

@@jamiemarchant2687 I haven’t fished around Oslo sorry mate so I can’t really help you there

[@jamiemarchant2687]

@Fish Tales Sorry mate. I meant that I am going to drive up to Trondheim and further to fish. Happy to go as far as Bodo. The drive is 15hrs each way so I will only have a day maybe two to fish. So was hoping to get a few marks to save some time. Cheers mate.

[@anundtingb6054]

You cant keep halibut under 1m long

[@fishtales9688]

I’m afraid you are incorrect, it’s 80cm legal limit which all fish that were kept exceeded.

[@a3iaanautlaw161]

why u guys like helbot.? its to big to eat i prefer kabeljouw and whity

It’s a lovely fish to eat and it feeds loads of people which these fish did

Please do not lift a fish out of the water when you want to release it. Nice film. Consider catch'n eat in stead of catch and release.

[@fishtales9688]

All fish swam off fine once being out of the water for a short period of time 🎣

[@Youtube_Stole_My_Handle_Too]

@@fishtales9688 You and I know that to be true, but it doesn't matter. Lunatics dictate the laws - in Norway as well as GB. Don't provoke them unnecessarily. It will only get back to us in the form of even dumber laws. No gaff - no out-of-water when you suspect a release.

[@fishtales9688]

@@KZbin_Stole_My_Handle_Too there’s now law to taking the fish out of the water and putting it back….most of the halibut came home for dinner anyways 😂
