Information in english

The oldest Sea Angling Sportfishing Club in Sweden established 1963 - A short introduction.

Welcome to visit the website of Göteborgs Havsfiskeklubb, GHFK . The name is swedish for Gothenburg Deep Sea Angling Club and our name is a good indication of what we are doing. In the following short presentation in english we call ourself GHFK, the shorter form of our clubname.

• GHFK are members of the Swedish Sportfishing Organisation SPORTFISKARNA with approximately 28 000 members around the country.

• We are also members in the International Game Fish Association - IGFA , USA.

• We have between 150-200 members on yearly basis.

• GHFK was established in 1963 . In these days sportfishing was not explored in Scandinavian waters. GHFK brought home knowledge and equipment from both USA and Great Britain.

• Our members have several sportfishing activities on the agenda. Tournaments, specimenfishing, trolling, worldwide travelling etc.

• Several members have their own boats, everything from small dinghys to special built sportfishing boats. The club itself doesn´t have any boats for members, all boats are private owned.

• We arrange an annual tournament called Pater Noster Cup , held in Ellös on the swedish westcoast. It's a team competition for crafts between 4,5 and 12 meters, and we have arranged this competition for 27 years now.

• Our tournament is part 1 in the bigger Scandinavian Saltwater Cup , part 2 is a tournament in our neighbour country Danemark called Stora Bält Cup, part 3 is a tournament in our other neighbour country Norway called Langesunds Fiskefestival also in august and part 4 is held in september in the waters between Sweden and Denmark, Kinnarp Garmin Fiskefestival . (Note: This was the situation in 2009, changes can be made in the upcoming years.)

• In both 2004, 2005 and 2006 we arranged the Swedish National Championship in sea angling and we will arrange this again in 2010! 2007 we arranged the Nordic International Championship.
