Spring Fjord Bite: Cod and Pollock Loading the Norwegian Depths

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to fjord fishing mate from the rugged coasts of Norway. It's Sunday evening, April 26th, 2026, and the fjords are calling with that crisp spring bite. Weather's holding steady—mostly cloudy with temps hovering around 8-12°C, light winds from the northwest at 5-10 knots, perfect for casting without your line tangling in a gale. Sunrise kicked off at 5:45 AM, sunset wrapped at 9:15 PM, giving us a solid 15+ hours of daylight to chase the action.Tides are running strong today with a high coefficient around 60-70, peaking at high water near 11:50 AM and 00:05 AM tomorrow, pulling currents that stir up the depths—prime for ambush feeders. Fish activity's ramping up as waters warm to about 6-8°C; cod, haddock, and pollock are schooling deep in 50-100m, while mackerel and saithe are slashing shallower on the incoming. Recent catches? Local boats reported limits of 5-10kg cod per angler off Sognefjord, plus fat 2-4kg pollock stacks—anglers pulling 20+ fish days on fresh herring. Coalfish up to 15kg showed yesterday near Bergen fjords.For lures, hit 'em with **white or silver soft plastics** like 4-6 inch shads on 20g jigheads—mimic those baitfish schools. Spoons in chrome or glow blue are deadly for vertical jigging. Best bait? Fresh mackerel chunks or herring strips on a paternoster rig; live sand eels if you can snag 'em. Troll at 3-5 knots for pelagics.Hot spots: Anchor up at **Nærøyfjord's inner walls** where currents rip—cod heaven. Or drift **Trondheimsfjord's mid-channel** for mixed bags of haddock and ling.Thanks for tuning in, folks—subscribe for weekly updates!
