Hake (Lysing)

[atomichaggis]

I've never caught one and kinda forgot that they even existed. I see more than a few of you have them on your lists.

Just wanna know how? where? when? etc. etc.

The last years we have caught these from shore in Etne in autumn-winter time, but not this year for some reason.

A search for etne and lysing will give some results.

Are they quite rare? or just like any other?

[Triturus]

They are quite rare, and usually live deeper than 200 metres, and having seasonal (and unpredictable?) migrations makes it quite hard to find them. The catches seen on different lists are almost alway the result of unexpected (more or less) by-catches.

Well ours aint... we have caught hake each winter in Etne for the 3 latest years. In shallow water (20-30meters).

We have also caught hake on every contest we've had in Karmøy Havfiskeklubb this year (4 trips). Also this in shallow water, 30-60 meters

Ok, IKKE målrettet i alle fall. Det stemmer vel?

[ThorEH]

98% av lysingene vi har tatt i Etne fra land er målrettet. Kun de første som ikke var målretta.. og det har blitt den del etter det. Men det er selvsagt lokale og spesielle forhold som gjør det.

30 meters is swim bladder blowing depth isn't it?... not unusual to occasionally take a number of deepwater species at that kind of range I would have thought.

I'm still taking haddock in water as shallow as 7 meters and they are known as the "offshore hake". Is it possible that hake will also come in so close to spawn/feed or whatever at certain times of the year?

My friend caught two of these as far into a local fjord you can possibly go, and no deeper than 30m. They bit near the bottom on pieces of mackerel bait. Bottom there is sand/mud.

I have never caught one myself, but local fishermen said the fish was not rare at all. When i first saw one i was awed, it's by far one of the more scary fishes we had in our boat, that thing has razor teeth and a fierce look. My friend decided to unhook the fish by hand and ended up with a badly bleeding thumb Too bad i never carry a camera, i need to buy one for my bag

Oh btw, this was in august.

Any fish dictionary will probably tell more about the when and where...

Good luck hunting one!

Every hake I've caught have been in shallow water (30 - 40 m)

Sounds like I'm in with a chance locally then... all sand and mud here and bottoms out at around 30 metres in the deepest parts. Water is still freezing now so I doubt there will be anything before august.

scary teeth is something all My favourite fish have in common... Hake is probably too pretty to win Me over tho.

I rarely take a camera with Me... Have tons of kitchen photos tho

30-40 is deep... try wading in it.

[Gismervik]

Fra oktober til ut desember har jeg tatt dem i Etne, muligens i september også.

Da er det snakk om målrettet fiske etter Lysing.

Den var fraværende i høst, men den kommer nok sterkere tilbake når høsten kommer.

Kommer en stim forbi, så kommer det kanskje to-tre stk på land.

Så er det bare å vente til den kommer igjen, for det gjør den

It's quite shallow if it is true that they usually live deeper than 200 metres..
