Information in english

The oldest still active 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 a member of the Swedish Sportfishing Organisation SPORTFISKARNA with approximately 60 000 members around the country.

• We have around 75-100 members on yearly basis.

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

• Our members have several different sportfishing activities on their agenda. Tournaments, specimenfishing, trolling, worldwide travelling, big game etc.

• Several members have their own boats, everything from small dinghies 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 Mollösund on the swedish westcoast. It''s a team competition for crafts between 4,5 and 12 meters, and we have arranged this competition for 34 years now.

• Our tournament was until 2009 part 1 in the bigger international Scandinavian Saltwater Cup but this tournament is no longer active. (Part 2 was a tournament in our neighbour country Danmark called Stora Bält Cup, part 3 was a tournament in our other neighbour country Norway called Langesunds Fiskefestival also in august and part 4 was held in september in the waters between Sweden and Denmark, Garmin Fiskefestival . (Note: The two latest tournaments are still going strong, but now separately.)

• In the years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2011 and 2012 we arranged the Swedish National Championship in sea angling! 2007 we arranged the Nordic International Championship.
