Members have spent the last week on the club's 1st trip to Mefjord, Norway. Overall we had a successful trip with only 1 day where we couldn't get out on the boats due to weather but this was a nice day off in the middle to relax and enjoy the camp and it's surroundings.
Many members had new P.Bs and lots of new species, accompanied by a good laugh and banter between the 3 boats. Mike Cooze had the best fish of the week with a halibut of 48lb Pete Jordan achieved a personal target by catching a monster scorpionfish. A big thank you to sportquest holidays for all the organisation, smooth transfers between the UK and Mefjord Brygge and going the extra mile. Also a big thank you to the team at Mefjord Brygge for making our stay an enjoyable one. Mark Thomas.

slow but then picked up towards the end, coalfish, halibut, ling, and
