Hi all

 

Wanted - DCA Bopedo mould 1 1/4LB. Anyone got a second hand one for sale?

I have a very good source whom can make any type of mold you require. Can be costly but is worth it. Mold can be made by scanning in the shape of the lead u want and using a spark eroder and piece of alloy.

 

The mold quality is far superior to any ive seen, and that even goes for the gemini mold. I believe he has some 6 oz breakaways available at present, although as i said - molds can be made to order.

 

There can be a waiting list - so if you want one you may have to wait but its worthwhile - cost of the mold is normally around £30.

 

Geezer is based South Wales!

 

I'll get a photo of one of my mold and will put it on the web asap if anyones interested.

How the hell do you get the fish home from Norway without it turning to jam?

I live near Driffield and struggle to get fish back from Whitby in good condition!

 

The house in Norway has facilities. We fillet it, pack it and freeze flat. Put into cool bags with freezer packs to get home. Its only a couple hours flight. Total travel 4-5 hrs. So the fish is still ok.

Quite a few of the sea angling magazines have articles on sea fishing in Norway, but i get the impression the english angler is a rarity in Scandinavia. Can anyone put me right on this - could you also (those who have been) tell me of your experiences please.

 

Came back from Bergen tuesday. I am fortunate to have friends with 20ft boats there. They live in the Morvik area a few miles north of central Bergen. We fished out of Eidvagen marina. The marina is in an enclosed bay on 3 sides and is less than a mile long. Its deep, averaging 200 ft with the entrance much more. There were plenty of ling. average in excess of 10 lbs. We had a couple over 15lb and my wife (lucky) picked up one of 30lb. No cod (time of year?) but several greenland halibut to 3lb, haddock about the same and pollack, coalies and gurnard. None huge but still good fun on light tackle. Best by far is 2 to 3 ft trace, single 5/0 hook with herring strip. Tried mackerel but limited success. Locals troll with feathers and lures of different sizes. Friend last year caught cod in same area in Sept under mackerel shoals to over 25lb.

 

Speaking to local tackle shop owner who said charter boats were available ex Bergen or further west towards North Sea. Price about 300 pds for 4-5 hr trip. Also said the ling in the outer Bergen harbour can get v.large at 30 kilo or so.
