M/S Albatros sets up various tours from the harbour of Hirtshals.

The major part of the year Albatros makes angling trips within the range of 30 nautic miles from Hirtshals har-bour. The weather must be good meaning below 5 to 7 metres per second wind speed from west and north, or below 7 to 9 meters per second wind speed from east and south. For save handling of fishing gear and pas-senger comfort the wawe heigt must be less than 1 meter. The seawater should be clear and current be-low 1 knot. When fishing on the small stone reefs and stony bottom along the coast from Hirtshals to Løkken we mainly catch Cod weighing 1 - 6 kg and some times even more. Furthermore Coalfish weighing from 1 - 5 kg, Pollacks and various flatfish. Early in the season we often see Ling and Catfish weighing up to 5 kg. In July, August and september we catch a lot of Mackerel and some Garfish. When angling on wrecks and The Yellow Reef we generally find more species and bigger fish.
Generally we recommend 0.50 - 0.60 monofile or equi-valent interlaced line (Fire-line etc.). Angling for flatfish thoug 0.30 - 0.40 line.
We recommend jigs weighing 150 - 300 grams - on The Yellow Reef and wrecks though 300 - 600 grams.
Hangers is a good idea - type and colors etc. would be a question about your own ideas and experience. That goes for bait aswell.
Please remark the mininum length (over all) for fish in Skagerrak:
A short trip to the reefs closest to the harbor that appeal to families and anglers who like to fish for mackerel. There are also caught cod and sometimes saithe.

Big area which really is named "Big Reef" about 2½ hours west of Hirtshals is quite famous among anglers as you often gets bigger fish and more species here than nearer the coast.
| Season: | April - September |
| Duration: | 12 hour day trip, and 22, 40 or 50 hours with overnight stay and meals. |
| Minimum age: | 12 years |

Most exciting for those who do angling for sport and who knows and accepts that not all days we will find fish on one or more of the wrecks and that sometimes means more sailing between the wrecks. Sometimes fishermen places their nets close to the wrecks and sometimes weather or current makes angling difficult. But when conditions are good wreckfishing often gives big fish and more different species.

| Duration: | 12 - 16 timer |
| Day: | On agreement |
| Minimum age: | 12 years |
| Price per. Person: | 105 € for 12 hours - 140 € for 16 hours |
