Worth knowing
- !The boats are 17-foot open craft with 30 hp, best suited for inshore and sheltered fishing
- !South of 62°N, so rules for halibut, cod and haddock are stricter than in Lofoten and Northern Norway
Tips from experienced anglers
- 1Check the rules south of 62°N before you travel: cod minimum 40 cm, halibut closed from 20 December to 20 April, and haddock 32 cm.
- 2Rental runs Tuesday to Tuesday, so plan your travel accordingly and book early for the summer months.
