A fishing line dropped into the sea creates automatically an atmosphere of expectation and excitement. Maybe there are halibut in the area? Or a large cod who has just decided he wants some food. 

The knowledge about fishing is vast but sport fishing will always be associated with hope and a little luck. We invite you to fish the sea and coastal waters off southern Norway, on the coast outside Risør and Tvedestrand. We can give you some basic advice for good fishing but you will need to bring some of that fisherman's luck yourself. 

The coastline from Gjerneslandet, past Risør, Lyngør, Tvedestrand and up to Flosta provides a rich and varied fishing. The area is not famous for the great record breaking fish, even though you can often catch a thumping great fellow which will make you fight hard to draw into the boat. It is the manifold and the great variation of different types of fish that makes the coastline between Risør and Tvedestrand so interesting for sports anglers. 

Some of the enjoyable attributes of a fishing trip are the expectations; choose the right equipment, gather on the quay and discuss previous and prospective fishing achievements, the boat trip out full of hopes that the big fish is waiting just out there, on that ground or this rock ledge, the choice of bait and the releasing «plop» when the bait and hook disappear into the dark sea. First comes a little snatch, then a strong bite on the hook. The fish is on and the rod is bending over...

We offer you all you need to find a successful coast and sea fishing trip in the fjords, skerries and sea areas around Risør and Tvedestrand. Here are a variety of chartered trips and permanent sea fishing trips, on offer, with a skipper who knows a lot about fishing and who can rent out the equipment you need. You can find over night stops - cabins, pensions and hotels - where many have made it is easy for you to prepare your good catches. Facilities are provided for gutting your fish plus freezing and packaging. You can also join professional fishermen when they drag the line and empty the crab and lobster pots. Remember, you can combine sea and coastal fishing with a variety of inland fishing.
