Mackerel Fishing From Wharfs | Early Season Sea Fishing | Nova Scotia 2023

Fishing for mackerel from wharfs in Nova Scotia, Canada. On this fishing trip, I ventured to two local wharfs and fished from shore. Typically, I would mackerel fish from my boat. For gear, I used Sabiki Rigs with 1.4oz weighted hooks. During the early season, most of the mackerel are small and are not big enough to keep. This year, mackerel need to be 10.55 inches and you are allowed to retain 20 fish.

One of my favorite places is the government wharf in Sheet Harbour. There was a wharf in St. Margaretes Bay That me and my brothers went and got chased out by the locals.

Never been to the Sheet Harbour wharf. That’s too bad about Saint Margaret’s Bay. I’ve been down there quite a few times with no issues like that.

Did some mackerel fishing while in NS last year on vacation. Most were too small to keep but still fun to catch.

I'd honestly think we were fishing at the same spot watching this video hahaha! I went to LaHave last week and it was just as foggy. Caught some tinkers though, and a buddy there pulled in a little pollock. So I'd say it was a decent time! Great video!

Great video. I’ve had a pretty terrible mackerel season this year. Caught lots of pollock early on in the season though.

Just come across your channel.top job mate. Here in Ireland the mackerel over the last three years have been extremely scarce. Over fishing perhaps??

@Huntingpros Жыл бұрын

Hey! Thanks for the kind comment. They shut down the commercial fishery last season and this season due to low stocks. Only recreational fishing allowed. Hoping they bounce back! Thanks for watching.

Hello! I just arrived. Glad to join the community of fishermen! You talked about mackerel, and how many pieces of pollock can you take and what size? And please write the name of the place where you fished, if it's not a fishing secret.😉

@Huntingpros Жыл бұрын

Welcome to the community. I typically don't share my locations on the internet. Any government wharf will hold mackerel in the deeper water. Mackerel need to be 10.55 inches to retain. The measurement is from the fork of the tail to the tip of the snout. Check the DFO website for ground fish. Depending on where you are in the province, there are different retention limits.

I want to learn to mackerel fish! I am living in Halifax with zero fishing experience

@Huntingpros 10 ай бұрын

Very simple, buddy. Find saltwater, use mackerel jigs and a weight. Cast out and reel in.
