Fishing in Kvaløya
Hi everyone !
TLDR : How to catch big cods / flounders etc... from shores in Kvaløya.
I recently moved to Storelva which is on Kvaløya just next to Tromsø and got into fishing for the first time in my life.
I acquired a 2.4m rod up to 220g, a 6000 reel (apparently it's a bit overkill for shore fishing but it's the best I could find not too expensive on finn.no). I use 60g and 100g metal lures.I fished a few times already and was able to catch small cods, around 35cm quite consistently. Being too small to keep I released them. I also went to Hella where I caught A LOT of small coalfish.
But my question is how to catch big cods ? I hear they can grow quite big and i'd like some big enough to keep and have chunky filets to make of them. I also heard about flounders / halibuts.
For now I try to through the lure as far as possible, let it sink to the bottom, and then jig it back up.
Thanks in advance for your help :D
EDIT : Not fishing for wolf fish!
