Pequod Fishing specialises in fishing the Kattegat and Skagerrak and the boat departs normally from its
home port, Dock pier at Eriksberg in Gothenburg. Apart from annual maintenance,
we operate throughout the year.
Length of trips and fishing locations
vary depending on the season and the target species. We fish the wrecks and underwater reefs for cod,
coalfish, ling and pollack throughout the year. April & May is the
peak season for the fearsome wolffish.
From June to September, when the mackerel are often found in
large schools in the Kattegat and Skagerrak, we try to run two 6-hour trips per
day, weather permitting. Departure times are usually 07:00 and 14:00.
We
cater for individuals & small groups booking places & parties
chartering the whole boat.

Pequod was originally known as
Sabrer Tooth II and was commissioned in
2005 by brothers Steve and Phil Hambidge.
The boat is custom built for sport fishing charters in rough waters off the Welsh coast.
After
17 years as charter skippers and 3 years with Sabre Tooth II,
Steve and Phil decided to cease fishing trips after the 2007 season, but
kept the boat for
another 2 years.
In January 2010 purchase Pequod Fishing acquired Sabre Tooth II,
& renamed her Pequod.
Pequod is a fast, ultra-modern and safe angling dream!
