Description
This is an authentic fishing experience! You sail in a traditional Faroese boat – the utmost of Faroese handicraft. This Faroese boat was a lifeline to the people that settled the beautiful villages you see along the coastline. With this boat type people discovered rich fishing grounds. Now you can follow in their footsteps. If this is your first attempt at fishing do not worry, sea-angling is easy to learn and fun too!
You are sailing out to the “Tangafjørður” area and start our fishing from there. The Tangafjørður is part of a large inshore area encompassing Kollafjørður, Sundini, Tangafjørður, Skálafjørður and Kaldbaksfjørður. The whole area is fairly sheltered from the ocean currents and weather. Typical fish in the area are atlantic cod, the red variation of the atlantic cod “Reyðfiskur”, haddock, saithe, ling, tusk, whiting and perhaps flatfish where we find sandbed. There are local stocks of herring and sprat in the area. When you have found a good fishing spot it is tradition that you take “ýti” or landmarks, so that you can find your spot again. Fishing gear provided will be fishing rods, jigs, tackle and bait.
