During the week, the World Championships in halibut fishing have taken place here in Havöysund and all guests at the camp have participated in the competition, which is a really cool experience to not only compete in Halibut fishing, but also experience the adrenaline of Halibut fishing on a whole new level.
The weekend’s bravado with competition and a big party in the village sports hall with hundreds of people was rounded off with a fabulous day at sea on Sunday with magical weather. Actually, the whole week has offered great weather, but during the final on Saturday it was really tough, with a lot of rain and wind in places, otherwise it has been sunny and great conditions.
In addition to a big focus on halibut during the week, there was some cod fishing where on Sunday one of the boats at the camp managed to pull a real toad to Cod of a whopping 29 kilos! Which is also the year’s best at the camp. A bunch of big Halibut have been caught, where a real cannon fish of 188cm became the biggest Halibut of the week. During the competition, my father also managed to pull off a really good piece on jig and also a new PB of 170 centimeters. During the last day of the week, we managed to do some really fun Halibut fishing, where it was also mirror-like, sunny and warm.
We started the day with a nice fish of 143 centimeters, and after a couple of accidents with line breaks on big fish, Stig managed to get revenge on a really good fish of 175 centimeters!
