Base in the village of Mefjordvær, in the North of the island of Senja, on a promontory, near the best fishing grounds, provides wide range of services and accommodation, from economy class to VIP.
Within a radius of 20 km are the two best "split-POINT" of the region: "Skreigrunnsdjupet" and "Fallbakken". Cod, saithe, haddock, Menik and catfish are the most common fish species in the region. The last few years, it is very good and halibut fishing — there are often quite large specimens. This is likely due to the fact that for many years near the fjords is forbidden to use revitalume trawlers, and the population of halibut has grown. During the fishing season near the base you can catch halibut almost daily!
