A cod over 100lb seems the stuff of fiction to most sea anglers, yet they are a reality if you fish inside the Arctic Circle in Northern Norway. Anglers who catch the fishing right regularly boat 60lb plus fish along with huge coalfish, and 30lb plus cod are regularly caught from the shore. In some areas of Northern Norway you are likely to come across whales while you fish – Vesteralen is locally known as ‘the kingdom of the whales’. The stuff of dreams for committed sea anglers, especially British ones who usually know only struggles and disappointments when it comes to cod fishing around their own shoreline.
