Set sail for Yellow Reef, Denmark's legendary deep sea fishing destination in the North Sea. This expansive underwater structure spans 150 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide, rising dramatically from the ocean depths to create a rich feeding ground. Accessed via ports like Hirtshals and Hanstholm, the journey to these fertile grounds takes anglers 30-40 miles offshore into the open ocean where adventure begins.
Yellow Reef is celebrated for yielding exceptionally large specimens, particularly trophy-sized Cod and Lingcod that dwarf their Baltic counterparts. The nutrient-rich waters also teem with Coalfish, Pollock, and seasonal runs of Atlantic Mackerel. Occasional surprises like Halibut, Hake, or Wolffish add to the excitement. Depths range from 30 to 100 meters, offering diverse fishing opportunities across the reef's complex structure and sunken wrecks.
Peak season from April through June brings increasingly larger fish as temperatures rise. Charter excursions typically last 8-12 hours, allowing ample time to target multiple species using specialized gear. The reef's unique topography creates strong currents that concentrate baitfish, drawing predators and ensuring consistent action. Whether battling powerful Cod in the deeper trenches or jigging for aggressive Pollock near submerged structures, Yellow Reef delivers a world-class offshore experience surrounded by the raw beauty of the North Sea.
