What we like about Andoy Fiske Camp
- ✓Dedicated sea-fishing camp with its own harbour at Skarstein and a short run to Andfjorden and the open ocean.
- ✓Complete fishing infrastructure on site: filleting room, freezer, sauna, and storage for fishing gear.
- ✓Location on Andøya brings you close to the Bleik Canyon and the continental shelf edge - known halibut grounds.
Worth knowing
- !The camp itself sits 4 km from Skarstein harbour, so transport between apartment and boat needs planning.
- !Andenes airport (ANX) has fewer direct routes than Evenes - many guests route via Tromsø or Evenes (161 km drive).
Tips from experienced anglers
- 1The Bleik Canyon lies west of Andøya and is a deep, exposed offshore area. Do not use this guide as a navigation source; obtain local guidance and check the weather before heading out.
- 2Andøya lies north of the 62nd parallel: cod minimum size is 55 cm inshore (44 cm farther than four nautical miles from the baselines) and halibut 84 cm. Halibut closed season runs 20 December-20 April.
- 3Use the filleting room and freezer the same day you land the fish. The export quota is 15 kg of fish or fish products per person aged 12 and over in 2026.
