New Brunswick/Bay of Fundy

[MuskieBait]

Don't have particular spots for you...but from the little bit that I've read, June is the start of saltwater fish in N.S. You are better off fishing for trout before June.

The species you may encounter are Cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus), Flounder species, Atlantic Mackerel (Scomber scombrus), Sculpin species Atlantic Pollock (Pollachius pollachius) and Cod (Gadus morhua). I would not be surprised that there are Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis), Tautog (Tautoga onitis) and Searobin species.

For the saltwater species, try live clams, mussels, oysters, and bloodworms as bait. Even frozen shrimp will work, but fresh is always better. Searobin, Sculpin and Flounder are bottom species so keep the baits on bottom, but I read that crabs will be an issue. If you are after cod and pollock, you can fish the bait a few feet off bottom. For mackerel, you can use small spoons, or even simplier straws on gold hooks that is typical of mackerel rigs (or you can use sabiki rigs) and work them at a good speed. Cunner should be numerous anywhere there are some rocks nearby, and in the same area you may find tautog. Scup (Stenotomus chrysops) is rare as far north as Bay of Fundy, but you never know. Striped bass can be find in inlet areas or along beaches. They feed on small fish so use lures that imitate their prey or use live eels.

For freshwater, you should be able to find Brook Trout in many of the streams, and Smallmouth Bass in many of the lakes. Some lakes will also have Chain Pickerel (Esox niger). I read there is no salmon fishing in any of the streams flowing into Bay of Fundy (look up the regulations to confirm). It's very much similar to the fishing in Ontario. You can fish for Chain pickerel much like you fish for pike, but with smaller lures (spinners, spoons, crankbaits).
