General information about the boat:
4-5 anglers can fish comfortably on the boat. Nevertheless, the boat is factory-approved for a total of 8 people. Thanks to its sturdy construction and excellent stability, the Oien sits firmly and safely on the water, even when fishing, and is very seaworthy. The 50 HP 4-stroke engine propels the boat up to approximately 25 knots, providing optimal conditions for successful fishing trips and excursions into the fjords and out to sea. The sleek hull shape allows you to reach the best fishing spots in the region quickly, safely, and comfortably. With its large, open deck and high freeboard, Oien is arguably one of the best fishing boats in Norway. In rough seas, a solid helm station provides the driver with good protection from wind and waves. The boat can be driven without a license if the driver was born before 1980. Life jackets/aids are available for many sizes.

Fishing in the sea and fjords near Flekkefjord, from Abelnes to Hidra
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 marine fish in this region are very diverse. The region's tranquil fjord location offers many advantages, especially for anglers, diving groups, and fishing-loving families with children, from where you can easily reach the best fishing areas. With our well-equipped boat, you can easily reach some of Southern Norway's most famous fishing grounds.
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 off the harbor 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 and sea bass fishing. Other marine species can also be caught from shore, depending on the tide. If you're interested in salmon or trout fishing, we recommend visiting the large freshwater lakes in the area, as well as the rivers in Ana Sira or Kvinensdal (please note the closed seasons and the requirement for day licenses).
In good weather, you can even explore the south coast of Hidra, the Lista Plateau, and the Siragrunnen. Insider tips include the Mussel Bay in Vollesfjorden and the so-called "Retirement Bay" in the immediate vicinity of the house in Stolsfjorden.
The Siragrunnen River and the fish-rich Lista Plateau (also known as the football field because of its vast, sandy, approximately 40-60 meter deep plateau) can be reached by boat in good weather. However, these trips require careful seamanship and truly good standing weather throughout the day.
Please note 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 astonishing sizes. Therefore, it is important to plan and consider your trips carefully. Please check the wind and wave heights several times a day on the popular weather websites. Also pay attention to the recommendations of the owners and locals.
An insider tip is a wreck on the Listafjorden near Lista Fyr at a depth of 67 meters, where impressive ling, sometimes also large cod and good pollack can be found.
In and around the Pollackberg in Listafjorden, at a depth of 70 meters, strong-fighting marine fish, especially pollack, are regularly caught, as our photos clearly demonstrate. Ling, pollack, and good cod also frolic on the cliffs directly south of the lighthouse, at depths of 45 to 80 meters.
Fishing in Eidsfjord, Cape Varnes and Stolsfjorden
The fishing area is located directly in front of Eidsfjord, with its two small skerries in the middle of the fjord, offering excellent fishing 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 Eidsfjorden and Stolsfjorden, as well as at the fjord entrances along the green cliffs with their steep, sheer cliffs and very deep waters, in the opposite Stolsfjorden, or toward Cape Varnes with its famous pollock fishing spots. There, at Cape Varnes, please fish at a safe distance from the steep banks. Pollock are plentiful there among the underwater vegetation at shallow depths. Avoid small bays and harbors; beware of shallow waters.
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 prefer sandy bottoms. This alternative is a good option when you can't go out in the water during a northwest wind. With an east wind, trips are almost always possible. Please keep 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 wide variety of species and astonishingly large fish. Therefore, your trips should be well planned and considered.
Please check the wind and wave heights several times a day on Windguru and yr.no Eidsfjorden (click link)

There are many beautiful fishing spots in the area – for trout, char, and sea trout. On the website Listerfriluft.no , you'll find an overview of fishing lakes and sea trout spots.

The shopping centers offer everything you need for shopping to your heart's content.

At the exit of Flekkefjord harbor, you'll find the historic Grönnes Fortress and the fjord's only sandy beach with a diving platform.
