Fishing guide

Atlantic Cod (Gadus morhua) is one of the best-known and most popular fish among anglers in the northern waters. It’s an incredibly important commercial species, valued for its mild flavor and versatile white meat. Usually measuring around a meter, some Atlantic Cod can grow over 1.5 meters and weigh up to 50+ kg. Found along rocky or sandy bottoms at depths of 20 to 200 meters, it feeds on herring, flatfish, worms, mollusks, and crustaceans. Atlantic Cod is active around schools of baitfish and can often be located with a good sonar. Thanks to its wide depth range and willingness to strike both natural and artificial lures, cod fishing is accessible even to beginners.

If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Atlantic Cod would be to use Giant Tiger Prawn on a size #10/0 hook.

If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Baby Halibuts.

The most successful lure is Green Dotted Baby Halibut 13 cm.
