I was there around lunch time the other day an it was open.. Sickning site yesterday as I walked into the banks of the shubie River while walkin to te spot I fish 4 undersized striped bass lay on the bank sun dried and rotting away sickening an who ever done it should be ashamed
It gets worse every year. I typically have to take two trips back to my truck when I leave, one for my gear and second for all the garbage I pick up.
Just wait until after the derby this weekend, there will be some sad sites.

Question.... Did all the rain last night have an effect on the sea bass. We were on the river today and didn't see a single one caught. Others we talked to had seen very little action.

i was up there yesterday had some bits but never caught any, and the water got extremely high like a foot or two of water on the road, and banks in places as the tide was coming up

Can anyone tell me what area tide times would coincide with the Stewiacke River when looking up tide times?
I used to have it figured out to Burntcoat Head, and I think the tidal bore came in 20 minutes after high tide but can't remember for sure??
I don't like wading in the river when I can't remember when the bore is coming in
Thank you!!
Cheers!
Jeff

Messaged you
Nathan. What did you mean when you said. Just wait til after the derby and you will see some sad sites??
The derby goals are:
Building community relations
Bringing awareness to the species
And affordable family activity and overall wellness
Volunteers (both native and non native alike) work towards these goals and we clean up after the event
The farmer mentioned to the organizer that the riverbank was clearer after then event as ppl cleaned up garbage that had washed up over the years

i heard of only five fish and that was from a friend that placed third.
Well there are plenty of bass in the Rivers and some are located down low in the tidal section and move up with the tide. There are schools that move up and stay in the upper sections and interact only on the incoming tide.
Very fickle year for bass. my best fish this year is only a 36 inch bass and I have not caught those plenty of fish like I normally do, but I have not put my time in either.
That being said, with the Full moon tide on Saturay (start 2pm, high 3pm) and dirty for hours; it should start to pick up with prespawn feeding activity.
Normally this full moon and the next new moon (2 wks) spawning activity should be present with increase temperatures. Look for splashing on the falling tides in the evenings.
Today tide should be coming in at Stewiacke approx 11:30 am and at 11:50 pm and the water will be getting higher and coming in quicker and will stay dirty longer until after the tides on the weekends.
Another indicator of spawning will the appearance of June Bugs. Both emergence of June Bugs and Bass Spawn are independent events but both are temperature related and happen within days of each other.
So keep an eye out for June Bugs.
Slow activity is related to cooler temps but find the Bass is the key, and they seem to move with the tide (lower sections) as well as when the tide hits several schools seem to setttle in the pools up higher waiting for that magic temperature and the incoming tide to do their thing
