Coastal fishing on Jutland’s east coast

The beautiful Horsens Fjord has a winding coastline that changes direction in many places. Therefore, many areas are hotspots with particularly good opportunities for fishing. The islands of Alrø and Hjarnø can also be found in the fjord, where you can easily choose a fishing spot based on wind, weather and current direction.

It is permitted to fish on most of the coast by Horsens Fjord, but in some places there are small protected belts.

Tips for good fishing spots in Horsens Fjord

Boller Breakwater: On the south side of the fjord you can go out to Boller Breakwater, which is located near Boller Forest at Boller Castle. Boller Breakwater is the closest you can get for fishing to the inner fjord in Horsens and a good fishing place with ragworm. However, please note that fishing is only allowed on the right side of the breakwater. 

Borre Knob: On the south side of the fjord is Borre Knob, which is a long narrow peninsula that goes a good distance into the fjord. You can fish from both sides of the Knob, but the tip is especially attractive for anglers, as it is located in the narrow channel between Borre Knob and Hjarnø with a large concentration of fish.

Another good place to fish on the south side of the fjord is by the beach north of Sejet not far from Boller Forest. 

Brakør Forest:

On the north side of Horsens Fjord there are several excellent fishing spots. In Strandparken by the old public baths, there are good chances of a bite on the hook in the spring.

And further east by the forests at Stensballe it is easy to find a peaceful spot. Brakør Forest is a popular spot, just as the Troensø peninsula is a perfect fishing spot that also has a stunning view of the fjord and islands. 

Do not fish from the beaches at Langelinie and Husodde Beach, which are popular swimming spots. 

Alrø: The southern tip of the island, Egehoved, is an excellent place to fish. Wade to the west to the mussel reef and fish to the north. East of the dam to the mainland there is also good fishing in the shallow water. Especially at high tide. 

Horsens Harbour: Fishing is allowed in Horsens Harbour from the north side of the inner harbour and east to Horsens Marina.

Both the Odder coast and Juelsminde peninsula’s coastline are characterised by shallow water, which is a pure paradise for sea trout fishing. At Saksild Bay, As Vig and Sandbjerg Vig, there are many great options for the perfect spot for your next fishing trip. 

Both Endelave and Tunø have good conditions for fishing and fine spots on all sides of the islands. The crossing takes an hour but then you have the peaceful coastline almost to yourself, and good chances of catching flounder, sea trout, mackerel, garfish and more. At Endelave, it is also popular to catch prawns, and the little ones can try to catching crabs at the island’s harbour. Both islands have great experience value, so a fishing trip can be combined with a mini-break. 

Good spots on Endelave: Kloben (the westernmost point), Øverste Ende (the northernmost point), Lynger Hage (the southernmost point) and Kongsvang (the easternmost point) are all good landmarks for choosing a location. 

Good spots on Tunø: The western and eastern tips of the island (Stenkalven and Tunø Røn) make it possible to get out into the water and fish. Below the beautiful, high slopes on the north and south side (Nørreklint and Sønderklint) there is also good fishing in the shallow water. Fishing in the spring is particularly good here.
