Tips from experienced anglers

1The Institute of Marine Research gives February–April as the main spawning period for Northeast Arctic cod. Species availability and catches vary; ask the host about current local conditions for halibut and other species.
2Watch the boat and safety briefing video before you start -- it is mandatory and saves time on arrival day
3Bring warm layered clothing, hat, and gloves even in summer -- it can be cold at sea inside the Arctic Circle
