Not sure yet but might be going back to Rost in the Lofoten islands. Just wandering if there are many interested in going.

What's the drill Steve :?: Is it all boat work :?:

 

[Alex Jordan]

Hand up as a prospective yes ...

 

[Retired]

Yes Steve.

It is all boat work Si, with the odd harbour thrown in if you have golden ones ;-)

 

[Simon L]

I'd be well up for it. The only question mark for me is the fact that i aint a great sailor.

To be honest it is a fair few quid so if you aren't sure about being on the water it would be a real gamble.

Dave this years trip was £2,000 + but a trip of a life time for some

Steve just had a call from Mark I am interested to go again.

At the end of last trip I said I would leave it a year but there is still so much ground to fish and so much much more potential. Plus I still have loads of fishing tackle left

 

[steve mullins]

We will be dealing direct with John who owns the camp & boats(the guy who lends his car to us). With the exchange rate being better & no middle man (wildwater) the price per boat & cabin is £2000. £1000 each for 2 anglers, £666 for 3, £500 for 4. Flights from uk about £300 return, C.I. £450. Bodo rost ferry £35 return. Taxi's etc £30 pp. Rod tubes 15 pp. Boat fuel £250 per boat. Hotel oslo £85.

Working on 3 to a boat the travel costs = £1215 pp from uk. £1365 from CI.

Spending money depends on your beer intake. If you like a good few scoops take £500, that should cover a couple of nights on the lash,your food & a few extra bits of tackle.
If you don't drink tooooooo much £300 would do, especially if you like eating fish.
If your Welsh 5 grand might cover it!

Tackle, you need far less than you think. I will do a post later on this.

What dates are you thinking Steve?

June,July,August not 100% sure yet just checking out interest at mo.

Si,
If you suffer from sea sickness take a look at these Scopoderm TTS patches. I have used them and found them great. Although one user of the attached reviews didn't like them, if they had menniers they probably should not have taken them in the first place. I can only say they have worked for me when I used to go wrecking off Whitby.

If it's out of term time I'd be up for it! I went Skjervoy 2 years ago and LOVED the place, it'd be great to go again with lighter gear as well as the Saltist 40 and roller-ringed rod! Still got all the pirks and big shads in a bucket under my bed! Lol!

 

[steve mullins]

Hi Rob, not sure when for sure yet but will keep that in mind. Think only 2 people took pirks last time, was mostly rubber shads & eels.



When does term time end next summer?

 

[Rob F]

Friday 15th of July for me. If I'm ruled out, if anybody wants to borrow any gear for the trip please just ask!

I spent most of my time with a 6ft spinning rod and an Abu baitcaster multiplier and had great fun jigging a Toby spoon, that's how I got into this damn plugging addiction in the first place!
