Fishing in the sea and fjords
From Borhaug via Farsund to Sigersvoll / Eidsfjorden
We are fishing specialists in Borhaug and the surrounding area. Here you will also find the best and most impressive fishing videos of our fishing friends Achim and Claus from the region Bjoernevag, Farsund and Borhaug of the last 10 years.
Here you can find the fishing videos of "The Achim Videos" 2014 - 2023 (Link) on YouTube
For the best fishing spots in the offshore waters (Plateau 'Jölle' in Listafjorden, known as the soccer pitch, and Plateau 'Rauna' near the shipwrecks between Farsund and Borhaug) you will receive a sketch from us after booking. Excellent cod, pollack, coalfish and ling, lump as well as smaller halibut of 10-20 kg and lots of mackerel are regularly brought in from the offshore banks and plateaus. Even large halibut in the 80-kilo class have been caught.
The fishing spots are littered with wrecks that sank before the lighthouse was built at the turn of the century. An insider tip is a wreck near Lista Fyr at a depth of 67 meters, where handsome ling, sometimes also large cod and good pollack cavort. At and around the 'Pollackberg' in the Listafjorden at a depth of 70 meters with its occurrence, strong sea fish, especially pollack, are regularly hooked, as our pictures prove. Ling, pollack and good cod can also be found directly south of the lighthouse, from 45 to 80 meters water depth, at the break-off noses.
But: Keep your boats away from the shore of the lighthouse. There are huge rocks under the surface of the water in front of the shore, and a wave or strong swell would smash your boat on the underwater obstacles.
The Rauna Plateau further to the east, with its sandy trenches and elevations at a depth of 117 m, is also known for its exceptional and very large cod, coalfish and lingfish. The trenches around the plateau are very deep and have yielded huge lingcod and beautiful halibut.
The beaches and piers near Borhaugs offer good opportunities for surf fishing for sea trout, turbot and other flatfish species, especially in spring and early summer. Good specimens are regularly caught on the shallow beaches near the trotting track, Osthasselstrand, Nordhasselstrand and Bausje.
In the outer harbor of Borhaug, from the pier next to the harbor entrance to the sea, there are always plenty of flounder and plaice caught from the shore. This is a good alternative when the north-westerly wind is blowing and you can't go out.
It should be particularly emphasized that the owners in this area take exemplary care of their guests. don't worry, even on the large boats you will receive detailed instruction and driving practice until you are really confident in handling the watercraft.
Please bear in mind that you are fishing here on the open sea, in one of the best fishing areas in southern Norway with a great variety of species and amazing fish sizes. Your trips out to sea should always be well planned and considered. Check the online weather app yr.no several times a day for wind and wave height and don't risk your life for a fish. Your children will be happy when you return home safe and sound.

Fishing in the Eidsfjord near Varnes
The fishing area is located directly in front of the Eidsfjord with its two small skerries in the middle of the fjord, with very good spots for pollack, 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, including at the fjord entrances to the green cliffs with their steep, step-like drop-offs and great depths, in the Stolsfjorden opposite or in the direction of Cape Varnes with its famous pollack spots. There, at Cape Varnes, please fish at a safe distance from the steep banks. The pollack are abundant there among the underwater plants at shallow depths. Do not enter the small bays and harbors, beware of shallows.
In Eidsfjorden itself there are always cod, coalfish, pollack, ling, mackerel in summer, and occasionally salmon and sea trout when trolling. Flounder and plaice like to be found on sandy bottoms. This alternative is ideal in north-westerly winds when you can't go out. In easterly winds, trips are almost always possible. Please bear in mind that you are fishing here in the fjord just before the open sea, probably the best fishing area in southern Norway with a great variety of species and amazing fish sizes. Therefore, your trips should be well planned and considered.
Please check the wind and wave height several times a day on Windguru and yr.no Eidsfjorden (click link)Hobby anglers get their money's worth at Eisdfjorden. Lots of pollack, coalfish and cod in impressive sizes, plenty of mackerel and other sea fish are on the fishing plan. Fancy some crabs? The manager knows where you can catch them by hand. The Eidsfjorden is known for its good water quality and abundance of fish. Follow the advice of the experienced owners and locals and never go out to sea in unsafe weather.
GPS coordinates for the best fishing spots for cod, pollack, ling, lump, coalfish, etc. are provided when you book. On board, you will receive a detailed briefing and driving school until you are really familiar with the boat.
Fishing and equipment tips can be found on our homepage under the Norway tab.

Lista has great, long hiking areas and It's also wonderful for cycling. A visit to Lista Lighthouse is a must, and It's a nice walk from there towards Varnes, in the old, original Norway.

Finally, what can we say about the beautiful Lista region?
It is fascinating to see how the sea changes with the wind, sun and weather and how the play of light transforms the landscape. The Norwegians call it the miniature version of Norway, because all the country's typical cultural and natural elements come together here. Many believe that the Lista region will soon overtake the Lofoten Islands. This is because Norwegians love extreme challenges when it comes to hiking and sporting activities and, in winter, extreme weather with snow and violent storms that are a real spectacle of nature. This is what the Lista region has to offer.
Riding opportunities, an alpaca farm, soccer and volleyball pitches, probably the best outdoor skating track, a large go-kart track on the Lista Fly Plass, a fitness studio with solarium - Borhaug offers its guests all of this to pass the time. A visit to the Lista lighthouse and the rustic stone fields is an absolute must.
In windy or bad fishing weather, head to the coast at Jölle and Snekkestö. If you walk along the shores after a storm, you will find many ancient and maritime objects that the sea has washed up from great depths. Develop a passion for collecting and turn your finds into great eye-catchers for your home. Visit the hidden mountain lakes in the hinterland and spend a lovely day swimming there in summer. Even in Norway, the water can be up to 20 degrees in shallow areas.
Experienced hikers will want to conquer the existing and well-signposted hiking trails (over 200 km in total).
Let yourself be challenged and get active... We wish you lots of fun.
