Sea fishing in Northern Norway is about more than catching big fish. It is about spending time together on the water, enjoying a great hobby, sharing experiences and creating memories that last.
Fabian Frenzel is an experienced competitive, surf and sea angler with success at both national and international level. His achievements include becoming German Surfcasting Champion in 2026, winning the Surfcasting World Championship in 2019 and reaching No. 1 in the FIPS-M World Ranking for Surfcasting in 2023.
At Tjongsfjord Lodge in Northern Norway, Fabian’s experience meets a varied and exciting fishing area directly on the Arctic Circle. But the focus is not simply on catching the biggest fish. It is about what fishing means to many of us: being outdoors together, exchanging experiences, having a laugh and enjoying a great day at sea.

FISHING HOLIDAYS IN NORTHERN NORWAY – ON THE WATER TOGETHER WITH FABIAN FRENZEL
Tjongsfjord Lodge and Fabian Frenzel work together to give anglers the opportunity to experience one of the most fascinating sea fishing areas in Northern Norway. Of course, catching good fish is part of a successful fishing holiday in Norway. When a powerful fish takes the bait, every angler knows that sudden rush of excitement. But a fishing trip is about much more than the catch. It is the hours spent together in the boat, the conversations on the way to the fishing grounds and the chance to try a different technique. Sometimes it is a tip from another angler that suddenly makes the difference. And sometimes the best story of the day is about the fish that never made it into the boat.
This combination is what makes sea fishing at Tjongsfjord so special.
Fabian combines many years of sea and competitive fishing experience with his enthusiasm for sharing the sport with others. On selected trips, Fabian is at Tjongsfjord himself and spends the fishing days on the water together with the participants. Conversations about lures, rigs, drift, currents, fishing spots and the many small decisions that make a day at sea interesting happen naturally along the way. Not as a lesson. Simply from one angler to another.
LEARNING FROM EACH OTHER AND ENJOYING FISHING TOGETHER
No two fishing days in Northern Norway are exactly the same. Wind and current change. The drift becomes faster or slower. Fish may be holding deep one day and much shallower the next. A lure that worked perfectly yesterday may receive very little attention today. That is exactly what makes sea fishing so interesting.
Fabian’s experience can help anglers understand these changing conditions. Why does one rig work better today? When is it worth changing the fishing area? Which lure presentation suits the current drift? And when is it simply time to try something different? Many of these things are best learned while actually fishing. You observe, experiment, talk to each other and gain new experience.
It does not matter whether you have been travelling to Norway for many years or are just starting to discover sea fishing in Northern Norway. Everyone brings something to the boat, everyone can learn something new and everyone experiences the day in their own way.
That is an important part of the idea.
Fishing brings together people who share the same passion.
AT THE ARCTIC CIRCLE WITH FABIAN FRENZEL
Anglers who know Fabian Frenzel from competitions, videos or social media have the opportunity on selected dates to experience fishing with him at Tjongsfjord. Those days are about fishing together, trying different approaches, exchanging ideas and, of course, having plenty of fun along the way.
The aim is not to turn a fishing holiday into a competition. It is about sharing knowledge and experience, discovering different techniques and enjoying time together on the water.
Whether you have already made many fishing trips to Norway or are planning your first fishing holiday in Northern Norway is not what matters most. What matters is a shared passion for fishing.
