Interesting to see my old message posted. I sent a recent fishing message
but for some reason it did not get through although I tried twice at the
weekend. It went as follows
"Fished the mouth of the bay yesterday for the first time in weeks.
Mackerel were hard to find but Cod were plentiful. Most in the 4 and 5 lb
range but a couple near 10lbs.
Only sea mammals were a solitary Minke, a couple of dolphins at a distance
so couldn't identify, and a couple of seals.
There were a number of Gannets who were finding small fish."
There have been some good catches of Mackerel this year but very localized
probably because of the feed whatever that might be. The cod we caught
were mostly feeding on Pouts and small crustaceans as well other smaller
fish.One of the bigger ones however disgorged what appeared to be a juvenile
wolf fish almost half it's size.

If the small bait fish could jump 2 feet at the surface they were not
gaspereau, which rarely jump. Possibly butterfish, one of the small
mackerel species (Bigeye scad, other scads) or small saurys. All would be
moving past eastern NS now southward. I have caught most of them in Mahone Bay
in various years.

Out on the Bay yesterday, still lots of Mackerel and Pollock at the
entrance to the bay as well as some nice cod. Interesting to see formations of
bait fish jumping on the surface to escape large feeding Mackerel. Not sure
what they were, perhaps small Gaspereau, but they could make repeated jumps
of about 2 feet.
There were no Gannets up in the bay and only a couple of adults passing at
the entrance.
