Norway question...

Skri cod is just what they call the big spawning cod in that part of the world, they come close into the fjords to spawn in shallow water, some of the cod have been as far north as the ice lets them get and can be silly sizes. If you are willing to go md-March to early April when they come in (lasts 2-3 weeks) and able to take the cold and bad weather at that time of year you are in for a treat with most people taken fish in the 50's and 60's upwards but you need to be willing to only fish say 2-3 days out of a week...Sorroya is the top spot by a mile followed by loppa area.

3 weeks and counting for me, cant wait...just hope the weather is kind

Its just the weather really that can stop you getting to the better marks we know, people think you can stop anywhere in Norway and catch loads of huge fish...not true, you need to find them and hunt out good features. unlike the cod in our waters they feed bottom to mid water table and on the move all the time chasing the ever moving herring shoals, find the herring find the big cod.
