Norwegian Fjord Spring Bite: Cod and Pollock Going Wild

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to fjord fishing mate from the misty shores of Norway. It's 10 PM on April 29th, 2026, and the fjords are whispering secrets under a crisp spring sky—clear with light winds around 5-10 knots from the northwest, temps hovering at a chilly 6°C dropping to 2°C overnight, perfect for that post-sunset bite as per Yr.no forecasts.Sunrise tomorrow hits at 5:15 AM, sunset wraps at 9:45 PM, giving us a long 16.5 hours of daylight to chase the action. Tides in spots like Sognefjord are running average coefficients around 70, with high water near 11 PM tonight rising steady—prime for flushing bait into the depths, echoing patterns from Tides4Fishing charts.Fish are fired up this spring! Solunar peaks scream high activity around dawn and dusk, matching global reports of aggressive feeding. Recent catches from local charter logs and Fiskeridir.no: limits of cod up to 10kg, plump pollock hitting 5-8kg, coalfish schooling thick, and ling lurking deep. Even haddock and saithe pouring in, with anglers pulling 20-30 fish days on light tackle. Post-spawn cod are stacking up post-winter, water at 5-7°C sparking the frenzy.For lures, nothing beats my namesake—silver/blue artificial spoons like Abu Garcia Atom or Savage Gear 3D herring imitations, jigged 20-50m down current edges. Soft plastics in white/glow for night pollock runs. Live bait? Mackerel chunks or herring strips on a paternoster rig rule for cod; shrimp for smaller stuff near kelp lines.Hot spots: Hit the narrow pinch at Aurlandsfjord near Flåm—currents rip, cod ambush city. Or troll the 100-200m walls outside Hardangerfjord drop-offs for pollock limits.Tight lines, stay safe out there—check regs!Thanks for tuning in, folks—subscribe for weekly updates!This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.Great deals on fishing gear https://amzn.to/44gt1PnThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AIThis episode includes AI-generated content.
