Fishing in Flekkefjord, from Abelnes to Hidra
Fishing in the sea and the fjords:
From your location in the Flekkefjord and Abelnes region you have excellent opportunities for fishing for sea trout and sea fish, depending on the tides and the time of year.
The sea fish in this region are very diverse. The region's quiet fjord location offers many advantages, especially for anglers, diving groups and families with children who love fishing, from where you can reach the best fishing areas. With our good boat you can easily reach the most famous fishing grounds in southern Norway.
These include the Flekkefjord, the bubble bay near Fjellsa (reachable in just 10-15 minutes), as well as the Vollesfjord and Strandsfjord near Andabelöy, Eidsfjorden, the Stolsfjorden, the Hidrasund and the Fedafjord.
The wreck of the Gudrun, which sank outside the port in Abelnes during World War II, is a popular attraction for divers from all over the world in spring, summer and autumn. The shores off Grönnes in Flekkefjord offer good opportunities for mefo fishing and sea bass fishing. Other sea fish can also be caught from land here, depending on the tide. If you are interested in salmon or trout fishing, we recommend that you also visit the large freshwater lakes in the area and the rivers in Ana Sira or Kvinensdal (please note the closed seasons and the need for day permits).
If the weather is good, you can even explore the south coast of Hidras, the Lista Plateau and the Siragrunnen. Insider tips include the mussel bay in Vollesfjorden and the so-called "pensioners' bay" in the immediate vicinity of the house in Stolsfjorden.
The Siragrunnen and the fish-rich Lista plateau (also known as the football field because of the huge, sandy plateau, about 40-60 meters deep) can be reached by boat in good weather. However, these trips require careful seamanship and really good standing weather throughout the day.
It is important to remember that you can also fish in the open sea in the Abelnes region, which is one of the best fishing areas in southern Norway with an impressive variety of fish species and amazing sizes. It is therefore important that you plan and consider your trips carefully. Please check the wind and wave heights several times a day on the usual weather websites. Also pay attention to the recommendations of the owners and the locals.
An insider tip is a wreck on the Listafjorden near Lista Fyr at a depth of 67 metres, where impressive ling, sometimes also large cod and good pollack can be found.
On and around the pollack mountain in the Listafjorden at a depth of 70 meters, strong sea fish, especially pollack, are regularly caught, as our pictures clearly show. Ling, pollack and good cod can also be found directly south of the lighthouse, at a water depth of 45 to 80 meters, on the cliffs.
Fishing in Eidsfjord, near Cape Varnes and Stolsfjorden
The fishing area is directly in front of the Eidsfjord with its two small skerries in the middle of the fjord, where there are very good spots for pollock, cod and coalfish. The sandy bottom promises good catches of cod, ling and flatfish. Fishing in the fjord is possible every day. We have often fished in the Eidsfjorden and Stolsfjorden, also at the fjord entrances of the green cliffs with their sloping, steep edges and very great depths, in the Stolsfjorden opposite or in the direction of Cape Varnes with its well-known pollock spots. There, at Cape Varnes, please fish at a safe distance from the steep banks. There are plenty of pollock there between the underwater plants at a shallow depth. Do not go into the small bays and harbors, be careful of shallows.
In the Eidsfjorden itself there are always cod, coalfish, pollock, ling, mackerel in summer, and occasionally salmon and sea trout when trolling. Flounder and plaice like to be on sandy ground. This alternative is a good option when there is a northwest wind and you cannot go out. When there is an east wind, trips are almost always possible. Please remember that you are fishing here in the fjord just before the open sea, probably the best fishing area in southern Norway with a large variety of species and amazing fish sizes. Your trips should therefore be well planned and considered.
Please check the wind and wave height several times a day on Windguru and yr.no Eidsfjorden (Link Click)
Freshwater fishing / in the surrounding lakes and streams:
There are many beautiful fishing spots in the area - for trout, char and sea trout. On the Listerfriluft.no website you will find an overview of the fishing lakes and sea trout spots. For some freshwater lakes you need a permit, which you can pay for. Here you will find all the information about the freshwater fishing spots in southern Norway. (Click here)

Leisure tips, activities - attractions
We recommend visiting the restaurants and pubs in Flekkefjord in the evening, such as the Grand Hotel or the Maritim Hotel, which offer excellent cuisine. There are also often live music and dance events at weekends, which can also be reached by boat during the day. These trips are prohibited after dark. In the shopping centers you will find everything you need to shop to your heart's content. In the harbor of Flekkefjord there is a boat filling station called "Groennes Marina" for boat diesel and gasoline. There is also a land shop and a new boat filling station in Abelnes, on Andabelöy. Here you can only pay by card with Visa or Mastercard with PIN. Other car filling stations and ATMs are easy to find in the city area.
The "white" town of Flekkefjord offers a varied pedestrian area with many shops, restaurants, pubs and dance bars as well as other attractions. There are always events and performances here, from open-air concerts to other events. The local diving club can arrange diving trips by prior arrangement with the board. At the port exit of Flekkefjord you will find the historic Grönnes fortress and the only fjord sandy beach with diving tower. In summer, you should definitely take a boat to the popular bathing and barbecue island of Torsoy, which is located opposite Fjellsa. If you have any questions about fishing, we will be happy to answer them.

directions
After leaving the ferry/customs, follow the signs to Stavanger/Flekkefjord (E 39).
There are automatic toll booths on the route. Please log in to autopass.no and register your vehicle there. If you want to drive through the Autopass lanes without registering, you will later receive an invoice for the fees incurred. Leave the E39 at the Flekkefjord exit and drive straight through the roundabout towards the town centre. When you come to the Flekkefjord area, there are two petrol stations on the left as you drive through the town, behind them are several supermarkets (Coop, Spar, Rema 1000, KIWI), which are open until 9 or 10 p.m. during the week. In Flekkefjord (town centre, Str. 44, Trolldalen, Brogaten) drive over the small canal bridge, the canal connects the outer and inner harbours. Continue on the town centre out of the town. The street is then called Tjørsvågstrand. FH Fagerstrand is on the left.

Also included are the costs for berth and boat inventory, hull insurance with up to 1000 euros deductible depending on boat type and insurance, and the necessary safety features and equipment according to Norwegian law.
Exclusive and not included in the rental price: insurance for passengers and accident protection, personal liability insurance, excess coverage, consumables, fuel and lubricants.
Boat insurance - hull:
Your boat has hull insurance. The excess in the event of damage is 1,000 euros. The type of insurance and the amount of the excess can vary; this should be requested from the boat owner when taking over the boat and documented on the checklist. Personal items are not insured. The hull insurance is not liable for accidental damage suffered by people traveling on the rental property. The renter is liable for damage to and loss of the boat unless the damage is covered by the insurance. Damage also includes consequential damage. The landlord/owner can keep the deposit paid until the damage is repaired. The excess per claim is to be borne by the renter and may differ from the deposit. If the boat is returned without defects, the deposit will be refunded immediately. Any damage not covered by the deposit or insurance must be compensated for by the renter immediately before departure. The renter undertakes to immediately report any damage, collisions, other unusual occurrences or complaints to the landlord/owner.
boat license:
Guests born before January 1, 1980 do not need a license for motorboats of this class in Norway. For younger people, a boat license for boats with more than 25 HP is mandatory.
Binding rules of conduct - tenant's liability:
We expect a strict refrain from alcohol on board. This is solely for your safety.
The renter is liable for damage caused by himself and also for all damage caused by other users of the boat. The renter and all other users use the boat at their own risk. The renter informs his crew in good time that they will take out appropriate insurance against damage events before the start of the trip. In addition, the boat operator must familiarize the crew with the boat technology and the contract conditions and ensure that all passengers wear life jackets on trips.
If the fish are cleaned on the boat or on a filleting table on the jetty, please dispose of the fish waste at sea and not in the harbor basin. Always cover fish waste (seagulls).
Territory restriction:
Trips are only permitted in the adjacent and suitable waters of the home port and near the coast.
A minimum distance of 100 meters must be maintained from fish farms or similar facilities. Failure to comply with maritime regulations may result in immediate termination of the rental agreement by the landlord/owner. Any claims by the tenant are then deemed to be forfeited.
Handover - Return:
The rental period of the boat is generally tied to the rental period of the booked property.
Equipment and inventory will be handed over/taken over according to the checklist.
Location: Handover with driving instructions and return is at the berth.
Handover: 17:00 h - 18:00 h or by arrangement with the owner
Return: by 10:30 am on the last rental day or by arrangement with the owner.
Eventual delays must be reported to the owner immediately by telephone.
Cleaning the boat:
The renter must carry out the thorough final cleaning of the boat himself after each trip. The renter returns the boat in the same clean and fuelled condition as it was handed over by the renter. We would like to expressly point out that you should not enter GRP boats with black, discolouring soles. Cleaning afterwards is very difficult and requires a lot of work on your part. We charge 150 euros for a boat that is not cleaned properly.
