Mid-trip you stop at an island or a beach on the lake to prepare and enjoy a freshly made warm lunch, often using fish caught during the outing.

THE SETTING

Islands, Beaches and Calm Water Stretches

The outing explores islands and beaches in and around Kristiansand, moving between fishing spots to follow the best water and shelter for the hunt.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

You meet with the guide, set goals and run a quick safety talk before donning personal flotation devices and boarding the boat. The boat moves to selected fishing spots where the hunt for lunch—and the next strike—begins; partway through the day the group stops ashore for a warm meal prepared with the day’s catch, then returns to fishing until the outing concludes back at the dock.
