Equipment for a successful holiday at Skarnsundet

Light Tackle fishing

This type of fishing is a lot of fun and in Skarnsundet 80% of our fishing is done with a rod of up to 100g casting weight. Its often better to use a short rod from the boat (2.2m) is a nice length. Shimano and savage gear make some fantastic well priced rods! For the past three years I have used the Diawa kenzaki braid rods for my lighter fishing . The 6/12lb rods are fantastic for fishing at Skarnsundet.

My reel of choice at the moment is the small but very smooth Abu Revo, a fantastic little reel that handles cod, coal fish, halibut and hard fighting pollock with ease.

Ive twinned the Abu up with 0.18mm Power pro, which is a reliable hard wearing braid and tipped it off with a 60lb rubbing leader!

Terminal tackle, shads, pirks, etc:

Shads are probably the most effective way of fishing at Skarnsundet, 4inch and 6inch Kopyto relax shads or similar is all you will need. No need to spend hundreds on shads. Just bring three of each color. Red and yellow, green, dark green and red will be fine. The jig heads should range from 40g – 100g.

 

Pirks are always effective at Skarnsundet, small silvers picks are deadly. Bring a range of weights from 50g – 120g.

Terminal tackle, bring a small assortment of hooks, links, leads and beads for when you decide to do a spot of bait fishing for the flat fish or haddock.

Take a look at www.alderneyangling.com and the guys have been to Skarnsundet many times and can help you out to make sure you bring the right equipment with you.

We have a fully stocked shop at Skarnsundet with all the equipment you will require.

Deep water fishing

If you wanting to target deep water species such as Ling, Lumb, skate Blue ling and many other species while fishing at Skarnsundet then I suggest you bring a 20b – 30lb boat rod twinned with a medium sized multiplier. I use a Shimano Tekota 700, which is a strong, reliable well priced reel will be fine.

We suggest that you use a braid with a 0.28 diameter. This will strong enough to tackle most fish and thin enough to cut out resistance in the water.

We have a very well stocked tackle shop on site were you can buy and hire equipment.
