Fishing guide

Haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) is a cold-water bottom dweller from the cod family, often found over sandy or muddy seabeds at depths of 80 to 200 meters. Typically weighing up to 4 kg, large individuals can reach 15+ kg and a full meter in length. A classic catch in the Norwegian Sea, Haddock is prized for its delicate flavor and steady bite. Feeding primarily on bottom-dwelling invertebrates like sea urchins, brittlestars, bivalves, worms, and, occassionaly on small fish, it responds well to both natural bait and mid-size jigs. Easy to target with bottom rigs and simple gear, haddock is an ideal species for beginners and a reliable favorite for seasoned anglers.

If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Haddock 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 Glowing Squids.
