Welcome to the best froum on the net mate

Never fished Norway but have read some articles on it... They tend to use jig heads and stuff. You know the thing big lead heads with flashy fluorescent bits and big hooks. Did you book through Leisure Angling or Anglers World one of them has a leaflet on tackle and methods.

Have a good one.

Cheers
Shaun

Hi mate,

Welcome aboard!! From what I hear, you're going to have a great time!

This month's Sea Angler has an article about plaice fishing in the fjords, and they make references to previous articles about Cod Fishing (up to 40lb ), so you might want to have a look through the back-issues or get in contact with them.

Oh yeah - and you're a jammy git!

Out of interest, how did you organise the trip? Independently or via a specialist?

Cheers,
JB.

You lucky devil...would be intrested to learn how u arranged trip cos I've often fancied it ...we watch the ferry with envy leaving the tyne every time we go fishing there.

Just a thought...Norway in march will be chilly ..pack the thermals.
