Girl Gone Fishing - Arctic Cod in Norway 

Greetings from United States. I'm enjoying watching your videos. I'm amazed by a few things. First, I'm amazed at how well you speak English. You speak it better than some American's I know that have been here for generations. The other thing I'm amazed by is the fact that the cold doesn't seem to bother you much. Or at least that's how it appears in your videos. I'm learning something new. I know nothing of sailing so this is a virtual education for me. I love seeing the sights and I'm a huge fan of wildlife. Especially Orca's and Beluga whales. Please continue to post your adventures. Thank you.

That's easier than driving to the market!!!!

All great advice that works! You fish just as well as any expert because you always catch fish. that single large Cod you caught is a feast

This episode is very interesting, I saw a different life! Or you can also introduce how to cook these natural gifts~

Great tips for catching fish in the Arctic. Dan & Kika did some fishing up and Norway and she caught her 1st fish as well. I enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing this kind of content.

Thanks for sharing, reminds me of fishing on the Swedish west coast in my youth.

Awesome fishing. Just a hint to make it easier for the woman fishing. She should put one hand on the upper rod handle in front of the fishing reel. It’s about leverage. Also less likely the rod will be pulled out of her hand. 😀

Has anyone else got a fishfinder on their boat? Thinking of getting one? These tips mostly apply to those of you who might think of sailing in cold waters, but some of the techniques (use of fishfinder + jigging / bottom fishing) should apply in other regions also! Good luck!

Those fish finders sure make a difference!

Nice chart plotters, Ray marine Element and Axiom

Great Video! ♥️👍

Finally a curser that knows how to fish! Good Catch...

Yes, that's the way to do it! Personally I prefer 70-120 m depth and pilks/jiggs/lures around 500-600 g. If one wants to be more serious in preparing before fishing, it is good to bring pilks/jiggs/lures between 400-1200 grams, that way you hav a nice arsenal depending on the depth, currents and weather at the surface. 🎣

Excellent!

Thanks for sharing. This will be extremely helpful, as we will be heading to higher latitudes after we get our boat. We just finished a week long boat hunt. I have several videos coming of all the boats we saw. We are getting excited to join the cruising world!

Summer here in South Australia so catching whiting, flathead, squid and (my favourite) blue swimmer crabs. Yum. Loved seeing how you do it up north, thanks. Did your girlfriend enjoy eating the fish she caught?

Some great useful information, thanks 😊

Better fishing than i've had lately.

Awesome easy fishing!

You have single handedly destroyed the thousands of pre pubescent hours spent with my 'rod in hand' as a kid with fully loaded ragworm paternoster rigs, sans fancy pantsy fish finder and barely a nibble to show for my efforts, still the best days of my life. ;-)

Excellent

Before my grandmother passed, i got around 30-40 Rapala. I am slowly building a set up, cus they are very nice to look at, in my 🐟 🐠 corner. Everyone that likes to fish from Scandinavia. Fair Winds Juha

Great way of life👍👍

I use similar technique here in New Zealand my yacht is smaller 8.5m but otherwise similar I drift sideways to the wind though by putting the tiller hard over and locking it in place. then use softbaits for our local snapper species which is usually about as quick at catching enough for dinner as you show. I love fishing though so get disappointed if its too quick to catch dinner. My fastest time was when I rolled up the headsail lashed the tiller then hooked a fish as soon as the lure hit the bottom reeled in the fish then unlashed tiller and unfurled the sail to the casual observer it would have looked like an awkward tack as I was stopped less than a minute.

Yeah, we call it bobbing here in Australia in inland waters it works best for catfish.

That looks very easy 😂

Nice video! You should try for some halibut! Large rubber lures often works well.

great vid, thanks!

You fish very much like we do except we use Jig heads ( lead weight with a hook ) bringing it up and down ( jigging ) and the Cod is much like our Walleye ! Use a drift sock ( small parachute ) to slow down your drifting speed ! You use some big fishing gear compared to what i use ! lol. A old suitcase works great for your fish locater and battery and transducer ! We fish in 10ft. to 30ft. of water also , Whats that 3m to 10m in metric ? lol

So maybe next time you could show us how you prepare and cook the fish.

Never managed to catch a fish in my life. How do you cook them? Guess veggies are all bought and mostly frozen

Very nice and convincing video. :) Do you change your tactics a bit the baltic sea? Where it´s more of a sandy bottom?

Pollock is fun, fighting a lot more than cod

Why do the Norwegian Navy put barcodes on their ships? So when they get back to port, they can scandanavyin.

I find loads of fish on my sounder but rarely on the hook :-)

Thank you for your videos. I would like to know what transducer are you using?

very interessting, now I just need a receipe to make it taste edible ;) good luck and fair seas

I’m pretty sure that fishing works there because the area is not overfished, in more populated areas it takes a lot longer than 16 seconds, like hours

Hi if you catch so much fish how do you cook or is it cool cooked in salt suger. I was watch another RU-vidr free rang sailing they have lots of tips on cook and storing the freshness of the fish on boat. Brendan IRL

You are in Norway now and i hope that u can learn how to preserve fish without a fridge, just make "Boknafisk". Hang it for drying on your boat somewhere for 10 days or even longer for "Stockfish".

more fishing would fine with me

👍👍

wonderful video well done i really hope it works l

Well, this knowledge and Sailing into freedom Pluckys will get you around the world happily feed.

Does anyone know what/where to get the black mechanism that attaches the Raymarine axiom to the chrome handle? Not the white pod -the part that’s actually holding it in place.. I can only find a deck mount.. thank you! 😊

👍😁👍

Hope you enjoyed your fish supper

Nice video! How do you do after you caught the fish? Where do you filet it? It seemes like a very dirty job, thats why I never tried to fish in my small Maxi 68 🙂. Please show how you take care of the fishes 😊.

Tell her to hold the hand forward off the reel perkele!

I AM TERRIBLY ENVIOUS ‼️. As all blue water sailors know, having quality foul weather gear can literally save your life. My personal choice is Helly Hansen. For multiple reasons. YOU have on relatively new Helly Hansen gear every video ! Not Only does it appear “new” (a relative term) but you have enough varied gear to equip a crew of 4 ❗️ Can you share where you purchase YOUR Helly Hansen ❓ I am seriously envious and would like to purchase Helly Hansen basics such as layering garments and jackets besides just my bibs and waterproof jacket I wear when in the cockpit or handling sails and rigging on deck. YOU may be the BEST DRESSED Captain in the North Atlantic ‼️👍

Fishing on a sailboat: The most common fish found on deck, in warmer waters is a 'flying fish'. I made several surface lures with air bladders & flaired noses (big & small [4" - 1"]) to flop around, thus mimicking them. Caught lots of fish!

Any salmon up there? Trolling! How bout some oysters for an appetizer 😎

Damn, stop the boat, drop a line, catch a weeks food, not exactly free considering where you are and what it takes to be there but still cool!

she needs to grip the rod forward of the reel

Cod is to pollock what hamburger meat is to filet mignon. I would throw the pollock back.

Teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime.
