Here we have a crab!
It's two!!
It's a nice one!
Two more species!
We are not sure what kind they are.
Tough, old women go fishing!
By the sea!
Under a tarp the whole night!
This was fun!
It may not be possible for you to see how beautiful this is!
It is a nice view!
Kaja, on her way to the sea!
We have now reached the place we wish to overnight.
Yes!
Here Kaja is working!
I'm working out how to put up the tarp.
The view is towards open sea :)
This will be great!
I look forward to this stay!
Yes!
It's rare for us to overnight by the sea.
Yes it is!
Several of our subscribers have asked us to go more fishing in the sea.
Yes.
Tying off the tarp at this place is a real challenge!
While you're working on that....
..then ?
I want to set out some fishing rods :)
Tight lines !
Later on we try our crab pots!
Yes!
Up on that rocks we are going to sleep tonight.
That's cool ;)
Now I want to set out some fishing rods,
at this place.
Exciting!
View from the tarp!
Amazing :)
Let's see if she has a bite?
There is something there, but what ;)
A crab!
A female crab!
How do you know that's a female?
You have to look at this opening,
it's this wide.
Then it's a female!
On the male crab it's narrow!
She has lost one of her claws.
Yes, there's damage to the shell as well.
It's a hard life to get hooked ;)
She wanted the mackerel.
Yes, and I thought it was a fish!
Sure!
Mackerel bait!
Mackerel, spreading it's delicious scents about below the waves ;)
This one we can use in the crab pots.
We use the whole mackerel.
Maybe the crab can be our supper today :)
You two are watching
down to Tove.
We have already caught...
a crab.
You never know what you will catch!
It's possible to get a lot of different species at this spot!
I think we got one!!
Did you see it?
It's something on the hook - but not big I think.
Let's see if it's another crab...
Maybe it's only crabs down here :)
Look forward to use our crab pots.
This is a fish!
It's a fish ;)
What type is it?
We can collect species, like our subscriber Stian does!
I think it's a small whiting.
Until now we have got one crab and one whiting.
This one we can use as bite in the crab pots.
A good idea!
Sunset!
Here we have another crab.
A place with a lot of crabs.
Crab!
A big one!
Tove makes the crab pots ready for use.
Yes, no doubt about that it is enough crabs here.
That's true - our catch today is a prove on that :)
We will set out our two pots from land - over the night.
Now I have fastend a stone.
Yes.
Kiro wants to help!
Now I will use the mackerel skeleton.
Yes, it smells good for the crabs.
NO!
Do you use it together with the whiting?
Yes.
That's good.
Maybe it's some lobsters down there too!
Yes, we are allowed to catch them now!
It's lobster season.
So far!
Then I just close the pot like this.
Do you recognize how the crab pot look like.
It's a bit old and worn!
Used a lot!
We'll lower it to a good depth!
Let's see if we can get it out before the darkness.
See how quickly it gets dark.
Down to....
the water,
a rocky area,
with cliffs.
We snorkeled here once.
The cliffs go straight down for about 50 meters.
This is cool ;)
It's not at the bottom yet.
Once, when I pulled up my crab pot, many years ago....
I pulled and pulled and pulled....
suddenly two cormorants appeared
right beside the line, like this.
Cool!!
Yes, it was magic!
Now we hope it will stay in place until tomorrow.
Yes!
Then it will be fun to get up tomorrow morning!
That's good!
Love to stay overnight when I am outdoors!
Way up there in the distance
you can see our tarp.
Here you see "my boy" who stole the bait.
Just in the short time we have been away?
Yes!
Even though I hid it...
He found it!
He's a smart little guy!
We just put it into this pot.
He has done it even more delicious to the crabs.
That's true.
1 - 2 - 3
It's gone ;)
In the middle of November!
In fact it's not the season for crab fishing.
No, but it is....
evening light,
staying outdoors
and open view to the sea :)
It's a good thing to go camping by the sea!
It really is!
I use some birch bark too.
Yes :)
We have been busy since we arrived.
No time to rest ;)
But now the crab pots are in place,
the fishing rods have been brought into action
and our "beds" are almost ready for the night :)
Here is our little guy - relaxing.
I lent him my shirt,
it looked like he needed it!
He virtually refused to lay on Toves jacket.
Actually, he wanted to go in under the tarp :)
It looks like you enjoy the fire!
I like the heat!
It's almost too much ;)
A little cod!
Something has bitten it.
Was it something bigger that had a nibble on it?
Yes!
Cool :)
Poor little fish ;)
In the middle of the picture Kaja is sitting and enjoying the fire ;)
Let's get some light so we can see her ;)
Here I am!
Look ;)
There you are!
I'm enjoying both the soundscape and the visuals!
This is something real :)
A cod!
Look at this! Another cod!
This one can be tasty in the frying pan.
The crabs from earlier today we sat free!
The perfect size for a frying pan.
Fishing in the dark is fun.
It feels like it's in the middle of the night.
We will soon be packing down the rest of our mackerel for tomorrows bait.
It depends on whether the fish continue biting!
Here you can see that the second one was a bit bigger.
Cod.
We were joking about the Christmas cod (usual Christmas dish in some parts of Norway).
It's incredible dark now in the evening!
It really is!
It's wintertime ;)
Yes it is :)
Soon it's Christmas!
Soon it's Christmas!
Ok folks, we in "Outdoors Norway" want to say goodnight!
Thank you for following!
Hold on!
See you tomorrow!
Kiro has laid his tail over the tip his nose.
He sleeps right beside our heads.
It's sweetly!
Hi!
Here I am!
Suddenly the tarp "disappeared",
and flew straight into my face ;)
This is indeed a simple ad hoc solution.
Almost all the stones are loose!
Maybe it will disappear again,
but I have fastened it to two stones!
It may be a problem with the wind.
This may prove to be a really fun night ;)
no - no - no
Now it's morning Kaja.
Is it morning?
The dog says so!
Soon we'll be going to take up the crab pots!
Yes - soon we will do that!
Excited about what we will find in them!
Morning under the tarp ;)
And this is what you see on the other side of the tarp!
Some Common Eider Ducks are swimming nearby.
It's a long rope to pull up,
about 50 meters.
Here it comes!
It's empty!
Is it empty :(
Oh my gosh, not a thing!
This was a disappointment!
Maybe it didn't reach the bottom.
Maybe not :(
Sad!
The crabs were definitely taking the mackerel yesterday!
Yes.
Then we try our second pot!
Now we try again, pulling the second one.
I really hope this one contains something!!
But it doesn't!
This is empty too!
No - no - no....
We know it's not the right season, but
we got two crabs on the fishing rods yesterday.
We wanted to show you how to catch crabs in pots,
and everything is empty!
Something has been inside and munched on the mackerel.
Guess it's small fish - they have found their way out again.
Ok, this is the right way to use crab pots!
This was a bummer, oh well!
Tove wants to show you how she sets up her fishing line.
A sinker.
A sinker at the end of the line.
Yes.
One hook a bit higher up,
and another hook a bit further up the line again.
Yes.
I can see it's nibbling on the other rod.
That's good! We'll have to check it.
We use frozen mackerel.
It's not frozen anymore ;)
We use old mackerel!
It's spreading delicious scents about below the waves ;)
The hooks are lowered all the way to the bottom.
About 50 meters down, and then a bit up again.
Then we are waiting until....
something is nibbling.
Something is nibbling at this line just now.
Tove thinks there's a little fish on the hook.
It feels like it.
Let's see.
Guess it's another little cod.
We have some of them already.
If we collect all of them, it's enough to Christmas dinner.
There's rising tide, and that's the best fishing time!
This is a tiny cod - I don't like to take them away from the water!
A little cod today.
It's sad. This one should have grown up and developed.
You caught your biggest cod from a boat, close to our hometown?
I landed a big one from here too!
Yes.
It was about 6 kilos I think.
From the cliffs nearby?
Yes.
Then I was full of adrenaline!
Naturally!
It's sad to take these small cod out of the sea.
But I think this was the size of the fish we caught when I was a child!
Ok, from the pier then?
No, we used our rowboat!
Ok.
Now you have to make some coffee ;)
Yes, that's what I want to do!
Look at this :)
The coffee miracle :)
That's enough .
This will taste good!
Kaja has observed some nibbling on the line.
Now I want to land the big one ;)
Nooo, poor little sweetheart!
Look! Kaja has got a fish!!
This is the smallest fish in the world, on this trip I mean ;)
She dreamed about the biggest one!
Look at this.
You can see it's a tiny one!
A little whiting!
I will put you back in the water!
There's no real damage.
It was easily hooked.
Let's see if it will manage.
Are you still alive?
Yes you are :)
This is an interesting fishing boat.
It has pots placed out all the way around the coastline in this area.
They check each pot and throw it out again.
This is a sort of close-up view of commercial fishermen.
Do you think they are looking for crabs or lobsters Tove?
Lobsters!
They are trying to catch lobsters.
Look!
It's something on this line now.
Do you think it's the big one?
No!
I'm afraid not!
You don't think it's big.
I think it's small!
But you do just the same when you catch the big one.
You still think it's small?
Yes.
Do you want to land this one?
Yes, I want!
Ok, it feels like it's something on.
Let's see.
I could feel it some seconds ago...
come on...
Yes - here is something!
Where there is life, there is hope :)
I think this is a whiting!
Yes, this is a nice whiting!
Tove guts the fish.
Here we have the roe.
A small one.
Two!
A grey gurnard!
A grey gurnard!
Here it's two!
This was fun!
You see the whiting and the grey gurnard.
Now we have 3 different species.
Here we have the grey gurnard. This one can sting.
When you land it, it makes a special sound.
The sound is mentioned in the Norwegian name "Growl" (Knurr).
Beautiful in a way ;)
Behind the gills....
Yes?
you see a spike!
Now I see the sharp spike!
Not fun at all!
But if you flay the fish, it has tasty meat!
Tove has filleted some of the fish.
Yes, a nice cod and a little whiting.
We want to taste different fish today ;)
We want to flay the grey gurnard too - I have never tasted that before.
The meat is really good :)
Yes.
It's important not to cut or pierce this - the little green one!
What is it?
The gallbladder!
I'm not used to flaying these.
Exciting, and try not to get stung.
I don't know exactly how to start.
Here is a spike too!
It's two of them. Here and here.
You remove the fins.
Yes, to enable getting hold of the skin up here.
So far, it looks like you manage this well ;)
There may be a scrap of meat left behind ;)
It's almost like a snake!
I remember once I flayed an eel.
The skin was blue inside.
Now,
it's ready for the frying pan.
And the frying pan will be full!
It isn't room for the grey gurnard yet.
Here we have whiting and cod!
That's good!
By the sea :)
I turned the cod!
How are you little cod ;)
Now I think it's room enough to the grey gurnard too.
It smells delicious now Tove!?
I'll ask Tove to take a breakfast break, now that it's ready!
I just want to put this line out, and hook the other one ;)
Just amazing :)
We have many tasty fish in the pan.
This is the crispy fried grey gurnard i think.
Yes, I think you're right.
oi - it's nibbling!
It's nibbling again - oi - oi - oi!
Now we've got another species!
Look at this!
Good, but what about the little one at the top?
I don't know!
Maybe we have two more species!
I don't know much about different types of flounder.
No. Stian (a subscriber) you know a lot of species!
But this one is almost blue!
With black dots on the gills!
This is a new one!
Tough guy!
W'll have to read about these at home.
As stated, there's a wide biodiversity in this area!
Now we have to forget the fishing rods for a while, and eat!!
This fish taste delicious :)
I think it was a cod,
or a whiting.
The grey gurnard was delicious too, but a bit dry.
It is not too bad to live by the sea :)
Tough, old women by the sea!
Tove enjoying today's catch!
Three types fish mixed together.
Tove is going to land the last one.
One big!
It's two!
A whiting and a flounder.
The whiting was kind of big.
The biggest until now.
How did you experience our catch on this little trip to the sea, Tove?
I'm satisfied.
It's good enough ;)
This was a really nice one!
I think I want to give the whitings to my aunt.
Yes, we love to share with people who love produce of the sea!
Now we have to tackle the task of packing,
both here where we fished, and up by the tarp.
When we are finished we will'll wander home.
We have got cod,
flounder, horse mackerel - I think - ,
grey gurnard,
and whiting! Five species!
It's a wide biodiversity here!
Now the seagulls do their job of cleaning up.
Tove has filled her backpack completely ;)
But it's not far to go!
Welcome back!
