Incredible Sea Fishing at Arctic Circle: Premium fishing boat T-TOP LC 700 with Revolutionary Minn Kota
The Perfect Fishing Boat for Northern Norway – Now Even Better
Tjongsfjord Lodge is expanding its boat fleet with a true highlight: Our proven Alutec LC 700 “T-TOP” fishing boat is now equipped with a Minn Kota bow motor for saltwater. This combination of robust aluminum boat and state-of-the-art electric positioning sets new standards for precise sea fishing in the productive waters of Northern Norway.
Why the Minn Kota Bow Electric Motor Revolutionises Your Sea Fishing
Precise Positioning Over Hotspots
The bow-mounted Minn Kota saltwater electric motor enables precise positioning over promising fishing spots. While you reach the spot quickly with the main engine, the whisper-quiet electric motor takes over the fine work:
- Perfect halibut drifts: Steer your drift exactly along sand-rock transitions where trophy halibut lie in wait for prey
- Hold over structures: Stay precisely positioned over reefs, edges, and plateaus while working vertically with jigs or soft plastics
- Compensate for current: Balance tide and wind to present bait optimally
Drift Control Like a Pro
One of the biggest challenges in sea fishing in Northern Norway is controlling drift speed. The Minn Kota solves this problem elegantly:
- Variable speed control: Adjust your drift exactly to match the fish’s feeding mood
- Against the wind: Slow down drifts that are too fast in strong winds
- Current work: Use the motor to “stand” in current and systematically fish areas
- Multiple drifts: Return effortlessly to the original position and repeat successful drifts
Save Fuel – Fish Longer
Instead of constantly starting and stopping the main engine, use the energy-efficient electric motor for:
- Position changes within a fishing area
- Fine adjustments during sea fishing
- Slow searching of hotspots
- Precise maneuvering near the harbor
The result: Significantly lower fuel consumption and more budget for additional fishing days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the electric motor difficult to operate?
No. After a brief introduction (which we provide before your first trip) the operation is intuitive. Most anglers master the basic functions within the first hour on the water.
How long does the Minn Kota battery last?
With normal use (not continuous operation at highest setting) the battery capacity easily lasts for a complete fishing day. It automatically recharges overnight.
Can I use the boat without the electric motor?
Of course. The Minn Kota is an additional feature. You can operate with just the main engine at any time.
Is the T-TOP also suitable for beginners?
Yes, but we recommend basic boating experience. The boat itself is stable and safe, the waters around Tjongsfjord offer protected areas for first tours.
What about bad weather?
The LC 700 is seaworthy and robust. In extreme weather, however, we recommend staying in the protected fjord area or taking a day off – safety comes first.
