Fishing Norway

[Jimk2]

Fishing Norway,

I'm not a sea angler although I have dabbled a bit as a kid and through working offshore I have taken opportunities as they come.
Nigeria/Angola provided excellent big game fishing

I'm now in a Norwegian shipyard armed with a 7' boat rod and multi. I've caught an abundance of Saithe/pollack and wrasse.

The saith and pollack take lures, The wrasse are deep and take small vertical jigs.

Any tips on catching cod? Would you bait up a rod or jig?
I get 40 minutes a day which so far averages a return of 3-4 fish each off the pier.

When I was in Bergen I caught good haddock, whiting and a boss fish (like a fat ling)

From the shore mate, But we have a constructed jetty which gets us into deep water. I have a few odds and end. Most of the catches are on feathers, muppets and a silver jig.
The killer lure is a small red thing made by fladen with maybe a size 2 treble. It can be jigged vertically or cast out and retreived. It's bagged up and only has 2 hooks of the treble left.
Theres a place nearby we can get live bait, I can easily catch fish for bait too.

I have some in the freezer at home, they are a decent pike bait

Defo Bluey mate. Was there in Feb. going back nxt Feb. if you get a chance to do any digging, try and find some clam or even mussel and double up with the bluey. You will soon find the cod

It's just a two hook flapper with the bottom hook hanging off the grip lead to help with the cast

I'm a piker mate,

Got to get to grips with the sea rigs. It will have to wait until next month as I'm back home tomorrow.

We ended up with Pollack, 2,000,000 saithe a few wrasse and some unknown species.
Saithe are worse than mackeral here.
