At Nordic Sea Anglings camp on Sørøya in northern Norway it’s time for monster cods. During the coming weekend and the following days the weather forecast looks perfect and everything is ready for non-stop sea fishing action. The so called “Skrei” – a strain of cod from the Barents Sea – are abundant in the waters around the island right now and March/April is usually the time when many of the biggest cods are caught.
So far strong winds has made fishing almost impossible for the last week, but for a few hours calmer conditions allowed the NSA guide Johan Mikkelsen and the boat mechanic Mats to test the new Magic Minnow Big Bob jigs. It didn’t take long before Johan was able to catch the first cod of the day – an impressive 19 kilo fish. Soon after an even bigger cod couldn’t leave Mats’ jig alone and he was able to land a 21 kilo fish.
The session only lasted for one hour until the wind picked up, but it showed the potential of the area and the new Magic Minnow Big Bob jigs. There’s no doubt that these jigs will be catching some really huge cods during the next many days…
