I used to go COD fishing in the North Atlantic, off the cost of Norway in the Middle of January.(North of the polar circle). Cod fishing in Norway used to start in the fall and was fished all winter. Split up when the Herring came in, then the really crazy fishing started (Closing of whole fjords, rivers and saltonds trapping the fish. Herring was scoped up until the boat was full, then the next boat moved in to get filled. (This kind of fishing depleted the ocean so bad that I remember it called "Black Sea" meaning no fish).
Some of the Fjords can be considered deep sea fishing with depts of 300+ meters (900+ feet)
I started ranting again, didn't I. It's just that I wish the fishing had ben regulated earlier and overfished like the Norwegians and Japanese are doing still.
