I'm not sure around your area as far as spots to go, but as far as what to use. A mackerel jig or any flashy spoon will do really, as well as streamer flies. mackerel flies, and cut bait.
I don't fish for them a whole lot but I'll usually target them a few times during the summer for some fish and chips.
As with everything else it seems. They are not as plentiful as when I was a kid, which wasn't all that long ago, which is the sad part. Catching pollock off the docks over 20'' wasn't uncommon at all. Today you'll be lucky to find some over 12" it seems. most being around 10".
Again I'm not sure around the halifax area. but around here most wharfs, or breakwaters hold some pollock. Depths I fish are around 10-20 ft I guess.
