On this boattrip where we go freediving for lobster, the program looks like below - here with a scheduled starting time at 9 AM:
9 AM Greetings at agreed meeting venue & brief walk-thru of Program & Strategy of the Day. Hand-out of lobster stick.
9.10 AM Safety Protocol alignment
9.15 AM We jump into our wetsuits in case you are not already wearing your own equipment
9.20 AM On the way to first lobsterspot. Transit time being used for tips & tricks, incl. what to look for, where to catch lobsters in Limfjorden, how to use the tickle stick, preservation rules (lobsters carrying eggs are off-limits in Limfjorden) and minimum length requirements, and short crash course of lobster biology. Just before arrival, we adjust weight belts in the shallows, so we have just the right balance in the water when we start freediving.
9.45 We out the anchor down on the first stone reef where we freedive after lobster
Hunting for lobster at first spot and potentially more. Sight in the water, lobster concentration, and weather forecast will determine choice of spot(s).
12.30 PM We enjoy our lunch at the shore or on the open water (dependent on weather and preferences)
13 PM We test a spot more in the pursuit of Limfjordslobster.
14.30/40 PM We start the engines and turn back towards the starting point after a nice day on - and in - the water
14.55 PM Getting off Boat and take wetsuits off. We enjoy a cold Beverage to wrap the day up and say goodbye.
At IntoBlue, we have invested in a full suite of relevant gear for freediving after lobsters. so unless you have AND prefer to being your own gear, we got you covered from top to toe (included in price). The wetsuit is 7mm (open cell) and will keep you reasonably comfortable even in November, start-December and end-March, and a perfect fit for all other months.
Especially during November thru March, learning how and where to catch lobsters in Limfjorden is, however … a cold pleasure! A minimum of 7mm neopren is needed (= mandatory to avoid severe cooling and risk of having to abort the trip) for wetsuit & socks and min. 5mm for gloves. If you want to feel comfortable (and you do!) during the entire trip, then wind breaker, beanie, warm gloves, and crocs (plastic sandals), are highly recommended. This will ensure that your body does not get unneccesarily chilled while in-transit between spots and on the way back to Port.
In case you do not have a lobster tickle stick yourself, we give you one for the trip. Using this piece of equipment and being able to do it right is not only important in terms of efficiency when hunting for lobster, it is also a large part of the fun!
Danish Fishing License is mandatory when older than 17 years or not served right for pension yet. Without one, you will not be allowed to embark on the trip. You can easily apply and pay for f you experience any trouble applying for angler fishing license online. - if you should experience problems with this, we are happy to guide you.
Please make sure to be ready at meeting venue latest at the agreed time to allow for timely departure.
For efficiency, if you bring your own wetsuit, it wouyl dbe great if you have already jumped into this before the agreed starting time as this will save us some time.
We have a bag limit of 5 lobsters per person when part of this trip if you get lucky / good enough. This is installed for us “to do ours” to preserve the population. Naturally, minimum size acc. to Danish Law applies for any catch. You can check out IntoBlue's blog for an in-depth description of how to catch lobsters in Limfjorden, and this will also inform you about legal compliance, use of marine electronics for more effective free-diving for lobsters, and much more!
15 år af sikkerhedsmæssige årsager. Dispensation herfor kan gives ved et mindre hold, fx 2 personer.
Det er ikke en forudsætning at du har gennemført hundredevis af timer med undervandsjagt for at deltage på denne bådtur. Du skal dog være komfortabel med at dykke på 4 – 5 meter vand, som er den typiske dybde for de stenrev, som vi besøger undervejs. De fleste hummere findes på disse dybder og også lavere, men turen bliver mest givende hvis du er nogenlunde komfortabel med disse dybder og også har et overskud på bunden, så der er tid til at kigge sig omkring og lokke hummeren ud af hulen, når først man finder den,
Afhængigt af vind- og vejrforhold vil sigtbarheden i Limfjorden ofte variere meget og det er bestemt ikke unormalt, at man ikke kan se bunden før man dykker ned. Dette skal du være komfortabel med, selvom vi selvfølgelig øver os undervejs. Hvis denne tanke skræmmer dig, vil undervandsjagt efter hummere næppe være for dig, da det vil kræve for meget energi – og luft – af dig, hvilket vil gå ud over fornøjelsen.
19 ud af 20 hummere vil du opleve gemmer sig i deres små (eller store) huller af sten, kalkrevner eller mudderhuller. For at få dem ud skal du anvende forskellige teknikker. For at disse virker skal du helst have min. 15-20 sekunders bundtid, når først du er fremme ved hulen. Mindre can fungere – særligt ved brug af teamwork – men jo længere bundtid, jo bedre chance for at lokke hummeren ud, og jo bedre chance for at få den med op til overfladen.
Selvom båden vi anvender ved uvjagt efter Limfjordshummer er relativ stor (6,1m), så fylder udstyret til en hel gruppe meget. Pladsen ombord vil derfor på trods af bådens størrelse opleves en anelse trang. Derfor er det også vigtigt, at du er komfortabel med at sidde på siden af en RIB-båd og har kræfter og balance til at gå på pontonerne når båden ellers ligger stille i vandet og ankeret er sænket.
Der er en badestige på RIB båden som kan anvendes til folk som ikke har nok styrke i overkroppen til at trække sig op over siden af båden når man skal op fra vandet. Generelt er en fornuftig fysisk forfatning dog væsentlig ift. at få det fulde udbytte af en uvjagt efter hummere i Limfjorden..
