Finally got around to doing a report, where to start?! I left home early hours on Monday, June 17 to pick up @tatunkajoe from East Devon and then we made our way to Heathrow to meet Ollie @Ollieollie, Jon @Jonnylongshanks, Rich @Stone and James, the vet-turned-dentist, who I believe isn't on the forum.
Destination was Sorvaer on Soroya in Northern Norway, which meant three flights in one day and a long day of travelling.

The puddle jumper to take us on the final leg of the journey.
Only things to note on the journey was at Oslo airport when somehow our group was bumped off their system 30 minutes before the flight and we had to rush around the airport then go back through security, arriving on board the
plane completely knackered (in my case) and with minutes to spare.
Oh and they managed to leave Ollie's tackle bag at Tromso...
But he did land the first halibut without wetting a line!

Arrived at last and mostly unpacked
We were greeted by a guide, Hampus (I may have spelt that wrong) and he showed us the boats. Have to say was very impressed with the electronics, which have been upgraded even more since our last visit two years ago, touch screen plotter and sonar, lovely to use.
Boat 11 pictured here was Rich, Tat and me, boat 8 was Ollie, James and Jon.

Day 1
First day we planned to hit the deeper cod reefs about seven miles out.
Usually this is a banker mark for me for the bigger cod but I freely admit I didn't quite get the location I wanted - new plotters and frankly it's just been a long time, so we were in the neighbourhood on the outer reefs but not quite where I'd planned to go.
We had a few nice cod but nothing really massive
