Mehamn

The location has five fully equipped holiday homes for up to six people each. The houses are equipped with three bedrooms, kitchen, refrigerator, oven, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher. The houses are 80 m2, modern and neatly furnished with bedlinen and towels included. They all offer a direct view of the local bay and the Barents Sea and of course there is also the sauna.

In addition to the apartments people can also camp here, there is a hostel and a restaurant. Of course you also have the availability of a large sheltered filleting room, freezer and storage room for all your fishing equipment. All in all, everything is provided for and in case you might have any questions or require support; Vidar the Viking is happy to assist you. This is the local host who is also a passionate fisherman and knows the fishing spots very well.

For the necessary groceries you can go to the local supermarket. This supermarket is about 1 kilometre away and for a small fee you will be brought and picked up by the owner. And otherwise a walk is a welcome change from days standing and sitting on a boat.

The boats used here are the 23 feet (7.5 meters) long Dolmoy cabin boat type walkaround available with 80 to 115 HP Selva engines. Of course the GPS plotter and fishfinder are standard on the boats. They offer space for up to 6 people with 4 to 5 people comfortable fishing. Because of the cabin and the walk-around option, this is a perfect fishing boat that brings you quickly and comfortably to the fishing grounds.

The materials for fishing are the same as for the other Northern locations. The heaviest material is between 20 and 30 lbs. Reels with dyneema from 20 to 25 kilo breaking strength. Fishing is mainly with shads but also pilks and they vary from 150 to 600 grams depending on depth and current. If you are tired of fishing with lures you can easily switch to a whole coalfish as bait on a live bait rig. This system works excellent for halibut and cod. But it is also fun to go fishing with a "lighter" set for some "smaller" fish.

If desired, you can also rent the right rod and reel as well as a fishing overall for an extra charge. Then you don't have to bring all that heavy material with you. There is also a small but very complete shop where you can buy the necessary shads, pilks and hooks. This is very handy because you don't lose a lot of material and if you lose some you can replace it on the spot.

Do you want to fish at this place? The season here is long and you can fish here when you want between April 1st and October 31st. Cod and halibut are caught in excess here. At the beginning of the season, the wolffish also shows itself in decent numbers. But bring your hat and gloves because it can be cold here.... but the reward is overwhelming.
