Cod fishing at Cape Nordkyn with the web show NYTTFISKE

The great Swedish web show NYTTFISKE visited us at Nordic Safari during August this season to record the three final episodes of season 2.

Here is episode 8.
In this episode we are fishing cod outside Mehamn at Cape Nordkyn.

Plaice at Cape Nordkyn.

Yesterday we went out on guiding with all boats. Our guide John was in one of our new Dolmoy boats with one of the German teams and showed all other boats where to fish, we where fishing in the same area and all boats were catching a lot of cod and some wolfish. One of the boats got a big plaice, just above 1 kilo on pilk. Three weeks ago another guest caught a plaice at the same place that weight 1,7 kilo, also with pilk. This area we will continue explore with proper plaice rig with the hope to catch a lot more good sized plaice and other flounder.

All boats on their way out from Mehamn harbor.

Plaice 1,1 kilo!

Italian group skiing to Cape Nordkyn!

A couple of days ago an Italian group arrived here at Adventure Camp Mehamn with their extreme camping cars.  Yesterday they went to Cape Nordkyn with cross-country ski to camp there until today. Unfortunately they walked right into a snowstorm so we sent them Mehamn Adventure Camps rescue team. Now they are back in Mehamn at the camp drinking warm tea and looking back on their adventure.

Insanely good halibut fishing!!!

Yesterday our guide John together with S-O and David went out on a halibut expedition on a place here at Nordkyn that they had checked out on the sea chart. They all had expectations to casch halibut but that they would caught 37 halibuts on one afternoon they could never even dream of!

They all caught halibuts over 130cm (30kilo) and had not only several double strikes but also two triple strikes.

Group from Croatia sailed to Cape Nordkyn by Viking boat.

Our first group from Croatia today was sailing to the Nordkyn by the Nordlandsboat and came back with a lot of impressions and great pictures. While the Eastern Gail was strongly blowing, they were enjoying the beauty and power of nature in the North Norway. They have experienced the sailing on the real Viking boat, which is the largest typical fishing boat of the 18th century, developed from the lines of the Viking ships.  Great things happen here!

 Vidar is giving instructions before the sailing trip.

Swedish fishing group explores the Barents Sea.

This is so great for all Mehamn and of course for us, Mehamn Adventure Camp that the Swedish fishing group came here to our place to explore Barents Sea. They spent five days to explore Barents Sea and the fishing on halibuts and one day for fishing on all other fish. They were successful a lot, so they caught several halibut between 120 and 130cm and the biggest, a beast of 170cm!

Also they spent one day for fresh water fishing in the mountains and it was successful enough. Two persons caught about 100 arctic chars and trout, but the biggest fish are still in the lake.

Today they are going to go for the King Crabs Safari, so we are really hoping that they will be lucky and bring lots of them, and then we will have a delicious dinner! J

This is great experience for this group, but the most important goal of their arrival were to make a spectacular video about fishing named PredaTour.  They have made a preview of it, you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImiopEfRRO4

 Also they are planning to write an article and put it in some magazines. So all of us will be able to read it and also enjoy watching the film.

Their staying here was great, we spent lots of hours together and we are hoping that they will come back next year.

New snowmobile and hiking tracks

Yesterday we drove out with our ATW to Gamvik, a village 20 minutes east from Mehamn. From Gamvik we went up to the mountains and made new snowmobile and hiking tracks. Now there are not many places on Nordkyn peninsula where you can’t hike  ore go with snowmobile.

The track can be tough

But also very beautiful!

Three groups drop-off at Cape Nordkyn

Early this morning went out with three boats to Cape Nordkyn to drop-off three groups that are going to hike up to the top and then walk the 23 kilometers of wild terrain back to the camp.

On the way out we stopped to take a look at the northern most house on the European mainland. There are only two ways of getting there, by boat ore a looong and tough walk

Here Vidar is at the shore to drop-off the first group

 the other two boats waits on their turn

Cape Nordkyn

This last week a couple visited Adventure Camp Mehamn with bicycle and attempted to hike to Cape Nordkyn. Up on the heights on the way to Cape Nordkyn there is a small stone desert that really takes the word hiking to another level. The hiking was more adventures than they could imagine but they manage to reach their final destination Cape Nordkyn in 12 hours.
