Myself, Paul Medd, Jeremy Robinson and Matty Hillaby have just returned from a very successful trip again to Norway. We had excellent weather all week which resulted in us been able to visit some marks further away from the harbour. The following is a brief summary of everyones notable catches:

Paul: Cod - Biggest 35lb and several in the 20's
Halibutt - 55lb
Coalfish - Several upto 24lb
Wolfish - Biggest approx 10 - 15lb

Matty: Cod - Biggest 46lb and several in the 20's
Halibutt - 12lb (ish)

Jer: Cod - 2 20's Biggest 23lb

Myself: Cod - Biggest 30lb and 11 others between 20 and 27lb
Halibutt - 12lb
Coalfish - Several upto 23lb
Haddock - Upto 10lb

We also caught redfish, torske, whiting and ling between us and lost some much bigger fish!!

I have (hopefully) included some of my photos.

Great photos and looks like a great trip lads

the scenery looks amazing, top fishing! that fish of Matt's is what I call a pig

It looks very settled, easily doable on a kayak, where abouts in Norway were you Jacko, what's the travel like, and what costs are you looking at??

What a beautiful place, would love to go out there, and as you say Quint it would be the ultimate to do that on a kayak.

Half way through the week Jer decided to throw the rod in!!

We think a fish pulled it out of his hand while he was watching someone return a fish.Despite numerous drifts over the mark (50m deep) we never got hold of it again. The mark has now been named 'the browning hole' after the rod

His spare rod still manged to nail a few though!
