Private fishing trips
Join our experienced guides on a fishing trip in the scenic Kattfjord. The pristine, rich waters off the coast of Kvaløya have been a world-class fishing area for centuries. We’ll teach you everything you need to know, so don’t worry if it’s your first time sea fishing.
About the trips
The experience begins with an introduction to the equipment and techniques. Our guides are experts in angling and are passionate about sharing their knowledge of the local ecosystem. They’ll provide invaluable tips and insights to enhance your fishing experience. All the equipment needed for a successful trip is provided.
If you’d like to take your catch home, we’ll prepare it for you.
After the trip, we’ll enjoy a warm lunch with local specialties in our lounge.
Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer, we’ll tailor the trip to suit your experience and preferences, ensuring a personalized adventure.
During our trips, we often have close encounters with local wildlife, including porpoises, seals, otters, white-tailed eagles, and many species of seabirds.
The trip starts at Lauklines (Vasstrandveien 578, 9108 Kvaløya). We also offer pickup in Tromsø for an additional fee.
Fish species
The scenic Kattfjord and the rich waters off the west coast of Kvaløya offer an exciting sea fishing experience, where you can catch a variety of species such as cod, coalfish, haddock, wolffish, and halibut.
Fishing responsibly
Marine resources are not endless, and there are regulations for sea fishing in Norway, which we of course follow and will share with you during the trip. During the fishing trip, we will also teach you how to handle your catch correctly to improve its quality. We follow minimum and maximum size limits, and when it comes to vulnerable species, we practice catch and release, for example, releasing large halibut.

The boats have a center console with seating under a roof for shelter from the weather. They are equipped with state-of-the-art chartplotter, echosounder, radar, and VHF from Garmin. The boats have 2×150 hp Yamaha engines, which means we can quickly reach the best fishing spots. For more information see: Our boats.
