The last week of April starts garfish season issue, then it is to come out with a float or spinner. Plug with herring on the hook is relaxing, spin fishing is more aggressive fishing.

Aside from the sun, garfish actually quite indifferent to the weather afloat. All of May and some of June are garfish time in the fjords – the rest of the summer, they are caught in the Kattegat, Skagerrak and Vesterhavet (North Sea).

Fishing

The garfish is an edible fish and sport fish can be caught at sea fishing, inshore and bay fishing.

With plug and herring

I put a half a large floats just under 1 m up on the main line that ends with a swivel with hook. Here I put a weight, which of course is not heavier than the float can wear it. I tie a small treble hook (size 10) of a button 1 m long 0.25-0.30 nylon line as the final line (see drawing and description of lodforfang ). A small piece of herring ½-1 cm wide attached to two of the treble hook hooks. Do not let the float just lying around with currents / wind but features little in once in a while.
