What you can catch
Pollock
The pollack can be caught in many ways. Fishing with lures and jiggs are fun - or maybe you will try floatfishing? If you are a flyfisher, you should definitely try it out.
Season
Sea Bass
The sea bass is hard to catch, so be warned: you could easily catch zero..But if you don't try, and so on... The fish is usually caught by using jiggs and wobblers - and is an very exciting challenge for the flyfisher.
Season
Garfish
This is a really cool fish which seems to prefer warm summer days. It's usually fished by using float or small wobblers.
Season
Haddock
This fish is usually found on deep water away from shore, but in the winter it can appear close to land. The haddock is usually fished in the dark with a bait on the bottom.
Season
Mackerel
This tasty fish is usually caught with lures, but the flyfisher may have a surprise here...Using a float is also a good alternative.
Season
Spiny Dogfish
If you dress well and walk out in the winter night, you can end up catching sharks. The spiny dogfish give you a good fight - and it is tasty. The fish is caught by using a bait on the bottom.
Season
Sea Trout
The sea trout is an exciting fish to hunt. It is usually caught with lures and wobblers. It is the kind of fishing where you are on the move, and you should pack in a rational way: a backpack on your back and a rod in your hand.
