GREAT HALIBUTFISHING WITH FRIENDS THIS AUTUMN

Hello friends !
This autumn the weather has been fairly good up here in arctic Norway. In Tromsø just now it is mild temperatures around 5 degrees celcius and no snow on the ground. Hopefully it will get a little colder so we can have some snow - since the sun these days will disappear under the horizon up here, it will be very dark without snow.
Most of my trips this season after halibuts have been very succesful, and I also had some nice Arctic Safari trips fishing for cod with nice people.
Unfortunately the whales have moved more to the north after the herring, but just now its a great feast going on with orcas and humpbacks just outside Skjervøy.  The trip from Tromsø to Skjervøy takes close to 5 hours  with the M/V Bigfisher II and I am ready to go there on two- day trips if some of you are keen to watch this great adventure with the big whales. Just let me know - my mail is morten@arcticsafari.no.
Here are some pictures from some of the halibut trips this season.

HALIBUT KINGDOM STILL RULES

A nice trip on the 5. july 2018 to halibut Kingdom outside city of Tromsø, Norway . Good conditions and keen anglers made the trip to a great experience. During the daytrip we had 7 attacks and landed 3 nice halibuts on the BigFisher II.

One 200 cm , one 132 cm and one 90 cm . The big 200 cm halibut was measured and released without beeing lifted out of the water.

ARCTIC COD - SKREI at Malangsgrunnen

Together with keen anglers from Tromsø Havfiskeklubb I went to Malangsgrunnen outside Tromsø fishing for big Arctic cod - named  SKREI - in Norwegian.

We had a nice day of fishing, and all together we landed more than 500 kg skrei during the day.

The biggest skrei this day was 31,5 kg , but we had many big fishes between 20 and 30 kg.

The conditions were great - nice weather and no big waves.

BIRD WATCHING AT SØRFUGLØYA

Sørfugløya is one of the most interesting bird mountains in northern europe.

Every spring hundred of thousands different seabirds and a lot of sea eagles prepare their nests out there to give birth to a new generation. 

The island Sørfugløya is situated far out in the Barentz sea at the North Norwegian coast

The bird- island Sørfugløya 

It's a great scenery out there - this is summertime and midnight sun

A lot of these birds - the puffins - make their nests on the Cliffs on the rock island

It's a great scenery and a neverforgetting experience.

Arctic safari are planning some very special photo-safari trips out there with the M/V " BigFisher "

We will start from our harbour in Kvaløyvaagen. The trip will last 6 -8 hours, and the trip requires fair weather.

You will find more information about this expedition and other adventures on our website .
