Our clients say:

The fishing in Skjervøy exceeds our wildest dreams. On our first day we caught five 20-pounders and from this point on, it took off. Every single day we caught big size fish in the size range of 20-50 pounds, and our grand finale was a 51 pound cod. This place is big cod heaven, the ultimate fantasy for every fisherman and a fulfiller of lifetime cod dreams. This place outbeats every place in that we’ve fished.
