Return to the Arctic - HALIBUT Spearfishing in freezing waters

After the spearfishing trip to Norway I did in 2017 without seeing a halibut I returned over a year later, further north, deep into the Arctic Circle of Norway. Spearfishing in these Arctic waters presents it’s own unique set of challenges. Daylight doesn’t last long and during our week long trip the daylight shortened by over 45 minutes. Exposure to the cold weather means using thick wetsuits up to 9.5mm with water temperatures ranging from 6-8ºC and air temperatures between 1-8ºC — challenging conditions to say the least. The target species follow no rules, they can be anywhere and the vast areas need to be covered by swimming and constantly scanning for halibut. The crew consisted of myself & Andrew Gomm from the UK, Giuliano Tagliacozzo from Italy & Josh Ball from Australia. ALL of the fish captured on this trip was filleted, frozen down and taken back home to enjoy over the winter months. At the time of the trip (2018) Norwegian law allowed each of us to export 20kg of meat from the country because we were at a registered fishing lodge. Nothing was wasted.
