‘I was on Norwegian trawler Nordstar from 1990-96 as trawl master fishing for Greenland halibut and other species, and that was where I first had experience of working with pelagic gear, fishing for redfish in the Irminger Sea. A quick running repair to a pelagic trawl as the gear’s shot away / Быстрый текущий ремонт пелагического трала, после того как снасти вылетелиįinding that there was something missing from life ashore, he was soon back at sea, this time working for a couple of years on a netter fishing in Faroese and Greenlandic waters, before spending much of the 1970s and 80s as trawlmaster, mate and occasionally skipper getting to know cod and shrimp trawling and a variety of fishing methods. ‘I started fishing in 1969 on a side trawler called Magnus Heinason, fishing in the Barents Sea and then Newfoundland, then was longlining for a while, before spending a year ashore as a driver,’ he said. But now he’s taken on a new challenge as he brings many years of experience with pelagic trawl gear to the sales team at Faroese fishing gear supplier Vónin. He has been a fisherman since he was fifteen (apart from a year spent driving a van) in a career that has taken him around the world. Just when it looked like time for retirement after a working lifetime spent at sea, Oddmar Ørvarodd decided he wasn’t quite ready to take it easy – and changed direction.
