Headed to Trondenes to try out the Quay by Trondenes Historical Centre outside Harstad. The weather was beautiful. Sunshine for the first time in a month, where we have just slogged trough the wettest September in about 60 years.

But today we woke up to clear skies, and frozen water puddles on the ground. So with the tide up around noon, I packed my car and headed for nearby Trondenes. It’s only a 3 minute drive.

Set up my surf rod with herring and prawns as bait. The water is quite shallow here…20-30 meters. And on arrival I saw what must have been hundreds of sea gulls having a feast on something 4-500 meters out in the bay.

While waiting as usual I was casting with my lure rod to kill time. When the little fella on the top picture decided to take my red Stingsild lure. And that was it for the whole morning.

I seriously have to find myself a mark where there actually is fish.

Meanwhile surroundings could not be more beautiful. 13th century church, snow capped mountains and blue water included.
