Tips from experienced anglers
- 1Jigging due west of Bleik produces halibut and cod, but check the weather and wave forecast every morning before heading out.
- 2Combine fishing with a whale safari from Andenes -- sperm whales stay year-round on the deep water just off Bleik.
- 3Remember the 15 kg per person export quota (age 12+) for 2026 and the minimum sizes: cod 40 cm north of 62°N, halibut 84 cm.
