Fishing in Havoysund
The amount of fish around Havoysund is overwhelming and many good fishing spots are marked on the boats' plots, and new ones are added every month. Havoysund has rightly become known as the place to catch halibut. The fishing is exciting because you can find small flounder and giant specimens everywhere – right from the harbour pier, beyond the numerous banks or in the great depths further out. Fish for cod with winter and spring typically being the peak season, when large schools of cod migrate to the area. Catfish thrive in the area, especially at the beginning of the season. Havoysund can also offer large plaice, with an amazing 5.7kg fish landed in 2013 from one of the Norway Guide Fishing boats! The season in Havøysund runs from the 1st May to 1st October.
