Angling on Djursland

You can go fishing from early spring – some fishing spots are child-friendly and lovely places to practice and have a great time – you can go alone or with your entire family.

Fishing season usually runs from late March to November, and Djursland’s best fishing spots are found along the eastern Kattegat sea coastline. For instance on the stretch from just south of Grenaa to Gåsehage, where the water in some places quickly gets deep and areas with seaweed and stone line the coast.

You will see this on days when the water is clear. Where sand meets stone/seaweed, you will typically have luck catching flatfish. You get this in the lovely fishing water north of Grenaa, as well.

Angling by the Cliffs of Sangstrup and Karlby

When you go fishing by the cliffs of Sangstrup and Karlby, the scenery around you is in a league of its very own; beautiful cliffs rising high above the surface of the sea, the edge of the cliffs winding in and out of the water. Quite remarkably, you can actually catch sea trout here during winter season.

Fishing in Randers Fjord Inlet

Whether you prefer fishing from a boat or from the shore, Randers Fjord inlet has ample opportunities to catch fish and enjoy nature. The rather long transition from the fresh water of the Gudenåen waterway system to the salty water of the inlet makes for a great place to catch a plethora of fish species who all have great living conditions there.

A Sea of Options

Bring Your Children

Your children will love getting some lugworm and fish with a hook for flatfish, for instance, and the eastern coast of Djursland is a great place for this as you can fish on a sandy seabed close to seaweed.

Snorkelling

If you like snorkel diving, you can easily catch your dinner 1.5 – 3 metres down. And certainly along the east coast. Watch for the spots where seaweed meets sand, which is where the flatfish like to be.

Put & Take

You can also go to one of the region’s lovely Put & Take fishing places, where you are sure to feel the serenity when the fishing line glides into the lake.
