That’s exactly what Rae Borras is doing in this fantastic two-part show made exclusively for Fishing TV, which is free to view HERE on FishingMagic in the March issue of Sea Watch Monthly.

Rae is invited to join a group of intrepid anglers who are winter fishing waters some 350 miles north of the Arctic Circle for the first time on behalf of angling holiday company DinTur – in areas where there is known to be a real chance of record breaking cod to 80lb and halibut going well over 400lb! That’s on top of the huge coalfish, wolfish, haddock and ling.

Pirking is the name of the game and Rae has a little trick up his sleeve in the shape of his ‘Esca’, amazing lures that emit light on contact with salt water to mimic the natural lights and electrical fields of prey fish.

This is a true angling adventure with cod to nearly 50lb showing and while it’s a programme to tickle the taste buds of any saltwater fisherman, all anglers out there who like the idea of fishing into the unknown will be captivated by the show, which is made to the highest broadcast standards and features some stunning scenery, as well as the exceptional fishing.
