Can I start a discussion on the prospects of striper fishing down this part of the province? Historically there have been seasons where they were in the estuaries, bays and harbours in such places as Port LeHebert, Sable River,Jordan Bay, Cape Sable Island. The people who I ask say it has been in years where the summers were hot and tere was lots of bait around. Well this definetly is a summer like this. The mackeral have been earlier this year than the past ten or so and the water temp is reallt high...
So why no stripers is it that no one is fishing or on the water to actually see them ? I doubt it since rockweeders and Irish mossers have scoured the shoreline over the pst month or so they must be seeing something. I talked to a guy lst week who said something big was following his boat along the shore, it made a wake but he couldn't see any fins, was this a big striper? Maybe
Maybe people are trying to keep the sightings secret, well if so this only hurts a fishery that could be utilized and bring people out to enjoy the species. If we get alot of publicity about stripers on the southshore we will generate discusion and possible info as to where they are and when.
There shouldn't be the worry about giving away a secret fishing spot as it applies to pelagic stripers,along a hugh coastline.
I remeber when blue fish were in Port Joli and Port LeHebert, alot of boats were there and everyone had a blast trying to land these toothy critters.
Maybe a good idea would be to offer a reward for information leading to the capture of a southshore striper dead or alive.
I guess I made my point.
