YELLOW REEF

Hirtshals is known by most anglers as the harbour from where you cross to Norway with one of the ferries. But it is also a perfect starting place for a wonderful week of fishing. We have put together a perfect combination for a spectacular week with different types of fishing!

Reef and wreck fishing

From Hirtshals sport fishing boats sail to the yellow reef which also hold some ship wrecks that provide excellent fishing opportunities. The yellow reef is well known and is located a few miles off the coast of Denmark. Many and large fish are always caught here. Think of cod but also coalfish, ling and sporadically hake, halibut and wolffish are caught. The yellow reef is about an hour and a half sail away and from the surrounding depths of the North Sea this reef rises to 30 to 60 meters below the water level. A perfect spot with lots of food and therefore also fish.

Fishing takes place between 30 and 100 meters and is mostly done with boat rods from the 10 to 20 lbs category. Pilks and shads vary, depending on wind and current, from 100 to 350 grams. All in all, the fishing day lasts between 8 and 12 hours and you get your money's worth. The fishing in this lkocation by boat is done from the beginning of april till the end of June. You can join this trip also as an individual person.

It is possible to schedule a total of three of these fishing days when you are staying the week with your own group. Depending on the weather the days can be moved during the week but the fishing days take place on the weekdays. If you don't manage to sail to the yellow reef for three days, you will of course get your money back for this part of the fishing trip.

Beach and Spin fishing

Directly in front of the apartment complex is a beautiful beach with various possibilities. There is a lot of structure and therefore variety along the beach of Hirtshals. The fishery focuses in the spring and autumn on sea trout and in the summer period more on garfish and sea bass which is also regularly caught here. There are several spots where you can practice this active type of fishing because of the alternating structures along the coast. Dams, rocks and trenches in the water give this fishing area an ideal variety.

In addition to this active spinning fishing, it is also delicious to catch beautiful plaice, dab, turbot, whiting, young cod to sea bass from the beach. And also for this fishery there is a quantity of spots available. And do not forget the harbour itself where you can fish nicely from the piers. If possible it is best to bring your own bait because it is not commonly available here and of lesser quality. Think of ragworms, piers and mackerel or herring. If you are not able to bring it yourself you can visit the local fishing store to help you out.
