hello from DK

Hello fellow hunters.
Im an active spearfisher from Denmark. I fish the cold waters of Denmark and Norway on a regular basis. The Denmark has arround 7300 km of coastline. So you never have to travel very long to get some new fishingwaters. This is allso the same reason why Denmark has a great history of sailing. With stone reef rich waters you can imagine that we have quite alot of wreks in the shallows.

We have a great variaty of fish that we can catch, and every fish that has the waight were you wouldeat it, is a good for eating.

The waters is 0 degrese celcius in the winters, were we use 9 mm wetsuits and up to 22 degrese in the summer.

We mostly catch: Flounders, turbot, cod, seatrout, mullet, garfish, makrel and seabass.

In the winter i build my own guns and the new deal is a polespear.

Most fish are caught from 0-10 meters.
If you wanna know more, just send a message.

Regards Søren

Welcome to the forum Soren. Very interesting to hear about spearfishing in cold water. If you have pictures we'd love to see them.

Which 9mm wetsuit is preferred by you and your friends?

Thank you.

I have plenty of pics and can show you some videos as well, that should give you some idea of our huntinggrounds
Right now im using an Omer suit, but i find it a litle too "stiff". My next wintersuit will be a Polosub yamamoto 45, 8 mm. Its more flexible and warmer, but the durability is weaker.

This is from Norway last year:
Norge 2011. - YouTube

And som pics from Denmark, fishes and some competition pics - polespear style

This one is from Norway.

Welcome Soren, :thumbsup2: great to have you mate. Do you know Anders from Norway?

Fantastic pictures, very nice fish. I have never dove in water that cold, just fell through the ice once skating.
Some day I hope I get the balls to try it.

All the best, Don

Hey Don Paul.
I dont know Anders from Norway, but i can see he catch som decent fish up there. Im going to Saltstraumen near Bodø Juli 2013, maybe i should give him a call before doing so.

Don Paul, if you ever get to Denmark, ill love to give you the grand tour under water. And the warm suit is no problem - i have an extra
You dont need the balls for the cold water, the system down there will shrink anyway. Save them for the 1½ meter of visibility that haunts the westcoast of DK.

Welcome Søren!
Were you by any chance in Kristiansund in October last year? I met a few Danish guys that were leaving when we were settling into the KDK-house for a few days, and I remember at least one of them was a gun builder.

YES i was, i took the time to admire your ulusub gun... if that was yours! What are the odds? The video is from that same trip just 3 days before meeting you in the KSK-house! Did you have some good fishing with Ørjan?

A Dane and a Norwegian, meeting in Kristiansund, and reuniting at an American forum! This is getting wierd!

Were are you living in Norway Anders?

Dan: For the 9 mm suit with longjohn panties, for diving at arround 15 meters, I usually dive with arround 11-12 Kg of waights. West and belt. The downside of this kind of diving is that you have to use alot of effort to get down, and the movement is kind of limit, since the neoprene is getting stiff by the increased thickness. Yes the suit is open cell.

And by the way, Anders. Winter is here, and im still a gun builder
The latest gun i have build is a 100% Wengé gun... The worst project ever when it comes to processing the tree! It was horrible... but the thought was: Let the beuty of the tree do the work.

I think the resolution is somehow making some troubles with the pictures? Is it blurry on your screen as well?
Test:

Problem solved
