Fishing at Camp Halibut

The fishing at Camp Halibut is of a very high standard and is entirely focused on top-class halibut, combined with excellent and varied sea fishing. The camp is located on Sørøya, an area known for its steep bottom structures, deep edges, and short distances to extremely productive fishing grounds.

Halibut is the main attraction, and the area around the camp has repeatedly proven its capacity in terms of both quantity and size. Camp Halibut has received international recognition for its results, and several of the largest rod-caught halibut in recent years have been landed by guests and guides here. In addition to halibut, there are very good stocks of skrei cod, as well as saithe, redfish, plaice, and ling, providing varied fishing throughout the season.

Fishing is conducted from powerful and seaworthy Arronet boats, and the best spots are often reached within minutes from the camp. The sheltered location means that fishing is often possible even when the weather affects the open sea.

Fishing Season Camp Halibut

March
March is entirely focused on skrei cod. Before spawning, the fish are at their heaviest, and the fishing in the fjord outside the camp is excellent. The weather can be challenging with cold, wind, and snow, but the reward is great. Skrei cod weighing 35–40 kilos are caught every year, and their culinary value is at its best during this period.

April
In early April, the cod spawn, followed by excellent fishing for hungry post-spawn fish. Large individuals weighing 20–25 kilos and up are frequently caught, and the fishing is often more action-packed than in March, with slightly more stable weather.

May to mid-June
Now the focus is on halibut. This is the period for those chasing truly large fish, with a chance of halibut over 200 cm and 100 kilos. Fewer bites, but the possibility of extreme size. Camp Halibut is known for its expertise in how to fish for the largest halibut.

Mid-June to August
Summer offers very diverse fishing. Halibut fishing is stable, cod and saithe are caught well, and redfish and plaice are excellent bonus species. The weather is usually calmer, and this is a perfect period for those who want to experience Norwegian sea fishing for the first time.

September to October
Autumn is one of the best times for halibut. The fish move to shallower waters and can be caught using several methods such as jigging, baitfish, spin fishing, and fly fishing. Quantity fishing for halibut is often very good, and cod, saithe, and plaice are still available.

fish species and bait choice

At Camp Halibut on Sørøya, you primarily fish for halibut and spawning cod, but you can also find pollock, redfish, plaice, and ling here.

Rubber jigs weighing 200–500 g are very effective for halibut, cod, and pollock. For more active fishing, 100–200 g jigs work well, especially in shallower waters. Bait fishing with live bait is often used for larger halibut. Pilk fishing works excellently for cod and pollock, while soft plastic shads are a sure bet for redfish. For plaice, simpler plaice rigs are used.

Bait choices are adapted to depth, weather, and season for the best results.

Facts for anglers about Norway and Sørøya

Norway is one of the world's best countries for sport fishing, with a long coastline, deep fjords, and very fish-rich seas. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the climate is milder than expected in Northern Norway, making sea fishing possible for large parts of the year.

Sørøya is one of Northern Norway's most well-known areas for sea fishing and particularly famous for halibut. Here you can also find Skrei cod, pollock, redfish, and plaice. The proximity to both sheltered fjords and the open sea provides excellent conditions for effective and varied fishing.

How do you fish at Camp Halibut?

Fishing at Camp Halibut is conducted as boat-based sea fishing in the fjords and coastal waters around Sørøya. The best fishing spots are often only minutes away from the camp.

Halibut are primarily fished with jigs, spinning, or bait fishing with live bait, depending on depth and conditions. Spinning with jigs in shallower areas is very popular and offers active fishing with aggressive bites.

Cod, coalfish, and redfish are usually caught with jigs or pilkers, while plaice are fished with simpler bottom rigs.

Fishing is adapted daily to weather and season. Guides are available for those who want help with spot selection, techniques, and bait, making fishing both efficient and easy to get into, even for those who have not fished in Northern Norway before.

How are the weather and climate?

The weather around Camp Halibut on Sørøya is influenced by the Gulf Stream, which provides a milder climate than many would expect so far north.

However, the weather can change quickly, especially in spring and autumn. Wind, rain, and snow can occur early in the season, while summer often offers more stable conditions with cool temperatures and long, bright days. Temperatures vary depending on the season but are often between a few degrees above freezing in spring to pleasant summer temperatures.
