Skjervoy Norway days 3 & 4 of 6

Friday
Over a beer on Thursday night we agreed to try some distant marks on the charts. The fish we caught were in good condition but skinny and with no 20’s in the mix it was time to try somewhere else. It proved to be a good move and with improving conditions we made the best of it. I beat my PB from my first trip to Norway in 2002.

Another cracking day weather wise. Stu wasn’t feeling great and took a break day. Willie was at the helm and we headed back to where we scored on Friday. We’d met some good lads from Bristol who were struggling to find the fish so they followed us out, good move for us all as we were on the money.

Willie smashed his previous PB and when the lads from Bristol came alongside as the fish was weighed and then released it was fair to say there was some celebrations as two of the lads had also just beaten their PB’s…happy days.

Another treble shot...


Willie's PB @ 58, delighted !!

Cheers Callum, the big one had the 20/30 Kenzaki about bent square. For the first 3 or 4 minutes I couldn't get a turn on it, one way traffic. Seeing that pig appear from the depths was something else.
