Bed and Boat Smolla

Nearby the floating harbor, there are already good fishing grounds. casting with light jigs and softbaits can result in quite interesting sized cod and coalfish already. When you go out onto the more open waters, you are about to hit the larger shoals of fish. We recommend to scale up with your tackle, and choose a soft plastic of 15 - 25 cm. Let it drop down and jig it back at an easy pace, lift the rod and on the drop there is a good chance of the bigger cod gulping it up. Time for action! Fish of 20 - 30 lb are caught frequently. 

Now you might be interested in something even bigger than that… Well, we got what you’re looking for: halibut. There is no guarantee that you will catch such a magnificent beast, but there is a good chance you will! Whole small coalfish is a good bait, but don’t underestimate fishing with soft plastics.

This method, using heavy spinning rods, has become increasingly popular over the last few years. Our super tip: don’t strike on the first touch, but wait a bit and play with the bait until you feel a good old take. This is the sign that the whole bait has been inhaled: set the hook firmly and be ready for a tough fight!
