It's not, there are two of us already, but normally go with three, but we will pay for it between us if we don't find anyone else, it's only money

I see. Not ideal but if you have to. Hopefully you’ll find the 3rd man!!

Just back from week's fishing in Norway up in Arctic Circle with 4 of my angling buddies. Got out every day even though not in a Fjord. Often T shirt only whilst the raining in UK. Some cracking Cod with best at 40lb and next best 35lb. 9 Halibut returned as under 85cm and 1 large one lost near surface (estimated at 3 metres). Some pics :-

Since posting my request for another angler to join us on our trip I've spoken to several interested people, but it was eventually taken by two Norway regulars who live quite close to me, so worked out ok in the end.

With the exchange rate being 13.76 at the time, we all paid for the trip in it's entirety and it worked out cheaper than 2022, even though the prices have gone up quite a bit.

Just need to book the flights, which we won't do until early next year.

Can't wait to get my lures in to those cold Norwegian waters again

I think the large ones are called Halibut, vicious things. I caught quite a few to 164lbs in BC Canada, my friends shot them with a pistol.

Nice fish. Those have got to be the "LOUDEST" trousers I've ever seen.

Over the last few years I've gotten in to the Plaice fishing and we've had some fair sized fish to around 8lbs, but for next year I've been given a couple of marks that have produced a couple of double figure fish, so I can't wait to try them.

I normally use Black Lug as bait for my Plaice fishing, but some of local fishermen have told us to try fish baits for the bigger fish, so will try some small pieces of Coalie unless we are lucky enough to catch some Mackerel.

Good luck with your trip Pete, I will look for a report

We had a go for plaice one morning at a mark given to us. . We only had one small one using squid. Problem was little codling grabbing both baits. Our best has been 6lb but rest have been much less than that. Also told cooked prawns are a good bait. Best of luck with the big one !

We had some mackerel on coalie rigs- so they are "up north".
