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.
To help your English, you need to drop the apostrophes from simple plural words. Americans and Orcas don’t have apostrophes unless they’re owning something.
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!
I'm actively using a fishfinder(Garmin Striker) and the transducer as my depth sounder, plus backup gps. Pretty nifty if you ask me on a sailboat. What are the rules like for catching fish in the EU? I tried looking up if you need a license or permit to do so, if so, is there a personal exemption(for non-commercial fishing)?
We used to fish for cod and saithe using pirks in the Scottish sea lochs (which are like mini fjords) back in the 60's and 70's but the UK government changes the rules allowing trawlers to come inshore which totally destroyed the fish stocks. Result is there is now very little fish in inshore Scottish waters. Unlike Norway!!
A tip that you might find useful..use a thick strip of the white belly skin from your previous catch, fold one end of the strip over and hook it on the top hook. A little bit of natural bait sometimes pressures fish to hit your lure more often. Good luck!
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.
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
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. 😀
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.
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. ;-)
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. 🎣
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
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?
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!
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! 😊
Like Juho said the sea is pretty much empty, but... Your secret weapon: Park your boat to any natural harbour. Get your fishing rod out and put a small piece of shrimp in the hook. Drop it just under your boat. Catch a perch in 5 seconds! ;-)
The large internation drift net trawlers continue to wreak havoc. Not only indiscriminate in what they catch but the habit of returning undersized juvenile leads to further depopulation. Damaged nets are also dumped in the ocean creating another nightmare of trapped marine mammals. It's a vicious cycle just so we can have our frozen microwavable fish sticks. Anyway, yadda, yadda...we should act as better stewards.
All sorts of ways to cook them but generally if you fillet them - (lots of videos online) and then wrap them in foil with some oil and cook them for 20mins and bake them they'll be fine. Sailing into Freedom basically live off spearfished fish as far as I can tell (literally when they got stuck out in the Caribean during lockdown). (Wouldn't recomend spearfishing in Norway though :-)!)
Hi if you catch so much fish how do you cook or is it cool cooked in salt suger. I was watch another RUclipsr free rang sailing they have lots of tips on cook and storing the freshness of the fish on boat. Brendan IRL
No point in storing fish in those areas. They keep the best when they are not yet caught. :-) If you want some, you just look at the map for a probable location and pick up your dinner in a few minutes, fresh. Quicker than going to the supermarket most places. :-) It’s not quite as easy further south, though.
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".
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 ‼️👍
Hello hello! Actually my HH sailing gear is 3 years old, but I try to take good care of it. I'm sponsored by Helly Hansen so I get a good deal from them, and the clothes are very nice. All of the crew and visitors have their OWN gear that they've bought themselves. That gear is not mine, so far I don't have "crew clothing" to offer to anyone. It just happens to be that a lot of Finnish sailors have found Helly Hansen good price/quality so that's why you might see them wearing that :) Sorry I don't have any tips for a specific Helly Hansen retailer, but good luck in your search for clothes! :)
@@AlluringArctic THANKS FOR REPLYING ! I am not sure why I didn’t consider that you were sponsored by HH, but I did not. GREAT FOR YOU ! You certainly do take care of your apparel from HH, as it always appears to be pristine ! GOOD LUCK AND FAIR WINDS FOR YOUR ADVENTURE !! I enjoy watching your videos although I am NOT a fan of the cold !
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 😊.
You don't have to be fancy about this, just fillet on the cockpit floor and wash the blood down the drain. Once the heads off etc you can prep the fish how you like on a plastic cutting board. Big fish, big board but you can fillet in sections. Use a proper thin filleting knife, a sharp one. I'm sure one of the world cruisers has a how to on their channel. Many of those say they don't bother to fish in deep water out on the ocean. Some have a trolling line out all the time and never catch anything.
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!

are you married

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~
Finally a curser that knows how to fish! Good Catch...
Has anyone else got a fishfinder on their boat? Thinking of getting one?

Nice chart plotters, Ray marine Element and Axiom
So maybe next time you could show us how you prepare and cook the fish.

Thanks for sharing, reminds me of fishing on the Swedish west coast in my youth.
Those fish finders sure make a difference!
Thank you❤️⚓️

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
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. 😀
I put two fingers either side of the rod mount; gives perfect control.

Yeah, we call it bobbing here in Australia in inland waters it works best for catfish.
Some great useful information, thanks 😊
Better fishing than i've had lately.

Thank you for your videos. I would like to know what transducer are you using?
If it’s for the Raymarine it is probably a Raymarine, transducers usually come with the depth finder.
Awesome easy fishing!
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?
Nice video! You should try for some halibut! Large rubber lures often works well.

Excellent!
Great way of life👍👍
Pollock is fun, fighting a lot more than cod
great vid, thanks!
Why do the Norwegian Navy put barcodes on their ships?
So when they get back to port, they can scandanavyin.
oldie but goodie ;)
@@AlluringArctic Hold the Cod Mr Milk, you've heard it before? '-)
That looks very easy 😂
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! 😊
more fishing would fine with me
Very nice and convincing video. :) Do you change your tactics a bit the baltic sea? Where it´s more of a sandy bottom?
Hard to catch anything in the Baltic Sea to be honest.. not much fish left in there :/
Like Juho said the sea is pretty much empty, but...

Never managed to catch a fish in my life.
How do you cook them?
Guess veggies are all bought and mostly frozen
no you can catch the veggies too
@H. Kirk Danke. Das kann sein, aber es gibt verschiedene Methoden und ich frage mich welche die nutzen. Milch, Dampf und so was.
@H. Kirk danke

yes Jan, we'll definitely do that, but you can't really do it during summer when temperatures are high. will try it in early spring though!

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.
meh, to be honest when they're fresh they both are very good... and not a very strong taste at all. a lot of people wouldn't know the difference...
@@AlluringArctic And then, or course, there is what I consider the king of white meat ocean fish. Halibut. There's nothing like it.
Teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime.
