Norwegian Fjord Spring Bite: Cod and Pollack Dominatin the April Evening Bite

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to fjord fishing mate from the rugged coasts of Norway. It's April 13th, 2026, evenin' time at 22:00, and the fjords are callin' with that crisp spring bite. Weather's holdin' steady—light winds from the east, temps hoverin' around 6-8°C, partly cloudy with a chance of light drizzle, perfect for not freezin' your fingers off while castin'. Sunrise was at 06:12, sunset 20:45, givin' us a solid 14.5 hours of daylight to chase 'em.Tides in the Sognefjord and Hardanger are average today, coefficient around 60-70 per tides4fishing charts—highs pushin' 1.5-2m mid-afternoon, lows droppin' gentle overnight. Fish are active in the shallows and drop-offs, metabolism pickin' up with water temps climbin' to 5-7°C. Recent catches? Cod and pollack dominatin', with anglers haulin' 5-15kg beauties on deep jigs; ling and haddock mixin' in, limits hit daily accordin' to local charter logs. Trout and salmon startin' their runs in river mouths, some 3-5kg silvers reported.Best lures: Go with **silver Toby spoons** or **blue/silver jigs** mimickin' herring for cod—troll 'em 20-40m down. For pollack, slim soft plastics like 15cm shad tails in white or glow. Bait-wise, fresh herring chunks or squid strips on a paternoster rig can't be beat; live mackerel if you can net 'em.Hot spots: Anchor near the sheer walls of **Nærøyfjord** for cod stacks, or drift the **Lysefjord** drop-offs—Preikestolen views while you pull 'em up. Stay safe out there, check your regs, and wear that float.Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more fjord tips!
