About the fishing trip

First-class halibut fishing on Sørøya in Northern Norway

The camp is located on Sørøya, one of Norway's most renowned areas for halibut and large skrei cod. Here you fish in waters that repeatedly yield large fish and where the chances of truly heavy halibut are among the best in the country.

Sørøya has become known thanks to its unique bottom structure with drop-offs, plateaus, and deep edges, perfect for halibut. At the same time, there is an abundance of skrei cod during the spring fishing, as well as saithe, redfish, plaice, ling, and several other species that provide variety during the fishing days.

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 of very high quality. 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 more 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 seeking 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 are found in shallower waters and can be caught using several methods such as jigging, baitfish, spin fishing, and fly fishing. The quantity of halibut caught is often very good, and cod, saithe, and plaice are still available.

Food & Drink at Camp Halibut

At Camp Halibut, you cook your own meals in well-equipped kitchens in your accommodation. This gives you complete freedom to adapt your meals to your fishing days and your own preferences. In Hasvik, you can shop for your stay before arriving at the camp.

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 baitfish is often used for larger flatfish. Jigs are excellent for cod and pollock, while rubber makk is a reliable choice for redfish. For plaice, simpler plaice rigs are used.

Bait selection is 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 in Northern Norway is milder than expected, making sea fishing possible for much of the year.

Sørøya is one of Northern Norway's most well-known areas for sea fishing and is particularly famous for halibut. Cod, coalfish, redfish, and plaice are also found here. Its 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 fjords and coastal waters around Sørøya. The best fishing spots are often just minutes from the camp.

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

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

Fishing is adapted daily according to weather and season. Guides are available for those who want help with choosing spots, techniques, and bait, making fishing both effective and easy to get into, even for those who haven't fished in Northern Norway before.
