FISHING UPDATE

 May 2013 

  

The fishing season has continued without any slowdown. Jon has been to River Philip twice and Bob once. Five of us fished the last Sunday of April with great success. Bob didn't get any but Jon landed one salmon and hooked two more. Our group landed 7 in total, hooked 3 more and Bob tailed two of the fish. The largest fish was a 35 inch salmon landed by Steve Andrews. It was a perfect day for Salmon fishing with warm weather and no wind. When Jon was there earlier it snowed and no fish were caught. The pictures were taken by Steve and Jon.

Bob and his friend Michael Fowler also fished the Shubenacadie and Stewiacke Rivers for stripers and shad without any luck. As the pictures take by Michael show, there were hundreds (more likely thousands) of stripers under the bridge at EnField.

Lots of stripers. The river is closed to fishing at this spot.
