[ontariofishing]

Hi all,
I'm an angler from Ontario staying in West Dover for a week. The place I'm staying at is right on the water and I have access to a canoe so I'm excited to try my hand at saltwater fishing for the first time.

I'm a bit lost as to how to tackle this new challenge though. Can I catch anything with lures or is frozen squid my best bet? I'm not looking for any species in particular but would prefer fish I could eat (following the regs of course). The geography looks a lot like lakes in Muskoka so would I also fish along the shore?

Any help is appreciated

If you have a FB account, read thru the Mackerel & Squid Fishing Nova Scotia group. There is also info here Nova Scotia Fishing Forum

No license required for recreational salt water fishing, but there are lots of regs here: Maritime Provinces Fishery Regulations and here: Maritimes Region Recreational Fisheries

The saltwater bays and coast have lots of mackeral, squid, pollock, and some herring right now.
Mackeral and squid are the best fresh eating of them all, imo.
