- Shore fishing for mackerel in Nova Scotia, Canada. On this trip, we went fishing in the Atlantic Ocean and caught approximately 50 mackerel. Fishing from piers during the summer months is one of my favourite activities. For gear, we used Sabiki Rigs with 4oz weighted hooks.
Note: All of the fish caught and kept in this video were not put to waste.

Good fishing my friend. Thumbs up from london, ontario. I want to move to nova scotia one day.
That's for watching buddy! Lots of mackerel here to be caught! 😊😊😊
Fresh mackerel is one of the best tasting fish. Super healthy for you too. And it's a load of fun to catch them!
They are fun to catch for sure! Thanks for watching buddy 😊
nothing like a good day of fishing with a buddy like the video
Thanks for watching 😁 we had a blast!
hey man love the channel! 👍 the mackerel have just landed on the shores of northern ireland 2 its interesting they shoal across the pond too, may i reccommend soaking them a little in soy sauce over night then bbq or grill them it takes a mighty table fish to another realm
Thanks! I'll have to try that! Thanks for watching 😃😃😃
This looks like riverport if so I live right near the general store down the road.
You guys got pretty lucky my friend said there's not many mackerel but quite a few squids.
Right on! Thanks for watching! Definitely a ton of squid as well!
Man , i remember as a kid back in the 70s literally chasing schools of mackerel up and down the local wharf on our bicycles to get ahead of the and get jig hooks in the water , some times as many as 3 jigs and get a crack at them as they chased schools of kaplin. The waters were full of both of them back then. No size limits , the small 'tinkers" were always better eating i thought.
Great story! Childhood fishing at its finest! Thanks for tuning in!
Looks like a food day out fishing. Nice to see some big ones being reeled in!
Was definitely a good day! Thanks for watching.
Hey Logan, looks like you had a great day fishing for sure. I can't believe how flat calm the water was for you that day. Usually the water is a little choppy down that way. Nice looking stringers you had on. I love hauling in mackerel like that. When ever I had one on I would let it swim around and see if I could get a couple more hooked up. It was fun when they hit the hook and you knew the fight was on. The camera didn't really do justice for the size of the fish. They all seemed to be really small but that is just from the focus of the lens on the camera. I think that there was selective editing on this video for sure. I say that because it looks like you out fished your buddy about 10 - 1...lol I bet it was the other way around but you needed to make yourself look good for TH-cam :-) I am going to have to try and get out somewhere that is easy for me and my walker to get to. Was this spot the place you told me about where you have the key for? I have never fished there if it is. Looks like an awesome spot for sure. Where was that first spot you stopped at along side of the road? It looked a little familiar but can't say for sure. Anyway take care and see you on your next adventure. Tom.
Hi Tom! I find the GoPro with the fish eye lens almost always makes fish look smaller. At least that's my excuse anyway haha 😂. My buddy did catch quite a few, but some got missed on camera. This particular spot is open to the public. It's near Hubbards right off the side of the road. If you message my Facebook Page, I'll share the coordinates. It's a very accessible spot. It would require walking about 150 feet or so, but once you get down there, it is almost always non stop action. Plenty of squid too at night! Thanks for watching buddy 😃!
I'm not even going to look at the comments before I say this, but...
HOLY Mackerel!
😂
@@markymarc37 haha thanks for watching!!
Can’t wait for the 2022 season to take off 😁
Definitely!!! My favorite time of year!!!
Successful day!!! The shag is adorable hahah
He was a hungry little fella 😂
They seem to be running good this year in New Brunswick too, there was a huge school of them feeding right at the surface the other day it was a legit feeding frenzy with hundreds of fish caught 10 feet from the shore
That's awesome. I love fishing for mackerel and I like eating them even more! Thanks for watching. 😊
What a feed man, nicely done.
Thanks Skiparoo!
Oh wow what a catch!! Looks like a great day☀️

Nice fish great video
Thanks ☺️☺️
Holy mackerel!!!!
Lots in the freezer!
This is amazing! I'm moving to NS and want to start fishing there. Could you tell me where you look for the regulations for coastal fishing? Can't find the rules for length and number of fish I can catch. Thanks!
Check on the DFO website. It will detail the retention and size restrictions under the Atlantic zone.
I had a mackeral feed a few days ago so easy to catch fillet and cook amazing fast growing sustainable fish love the video
Thanks buddy! We should get out sometime!
youve been somewhat mis-informed mackerel are one of the slowest growing fish species in the sea, theyve been hammerd by commerical boats again this year and of particular worry was this years north atlantic shoal which had to operate at a reduced quota this year due to a population drop
what kind of lures do you need for mackerel? been trying to catch some in eastern passage but i only have lake lures havent gotten a bite.
Still pretty early for Mackerel. I use Sabiki rigs with a weighted tri hook.
You awesome bro nice fishing..may I know what type of lure are you using in video for catching mackerel ? Thanx in advance
I was using sabiki rigs and a weighted bottom trihook! Thanks for watching 😉
Good day idol, I’m one of your subscribers watching from Toronto, just wanna know what location in NS are you fishing mackerel ? Thank you ang and enjoy
Thanks for watching! This was Saint Margaret’s Bay.
What a haul! Where in NS is this???
Near Hubbard's.
What’s part of n.s the view is spectacular nice video
This is towards Saint Margaret's Bay area! Thanks for watching. 🙂
@@Huntingpros very nice
@@jasonwillmott5131 thanks!!
Hello from MOntreal, I ll be in NS from july 1to 8 and dying to catch flonder and mackerel.pls advice about the places and gear pls, lures. Mnay thanks man !
Use sabiki rigs with 5 hooks... Basically anywhere along the south or eastern shore of the province you will find mackerel. For flounder, put some fish pieces on your bottom hook and drop it close to the bottom.
What?! No way. Ive been there! I got TONS of em.
Thanks for watching!
If u guys are wondering where this is it is in baddeck bay cape Breton ns
@@hqllloyeet thanks for watching!
was this close to Hubbards?
Sure was!
after july 1, 2022 is allowed to fish mackerel and flounder?
Mackerel you can for sure!
Where in Nova Scotia did you go fishing?
Saint Margaret's Bay
What time of the year would be best to fish for Mackerels from shorelines?
Absolute best would be Late Summer or Early Fall. However, they are definitely running right now!
@@Huntingpros awesome, thank you. by the way... was the limit always been 20? Felt like I heard it used to be more? Also, how about a cooking video on what is the best/favorite way locals cook up mackeral?
Where are you fishing at in the first spot
Saint Margaret's Bay.
is this in halifax? which government wharf? thanks
Both spots were in Lunenburg County.
do you cook them
Of course! They are delicious. I like wrapping in tin foil and stuffing them and putting on BBQ.
Does the hook get stuck in the rocks?
Sometimes, you need to keep a pretty steady reeling pattern. Thanks for watching! 😀
Man, what do you lube your reel with, crushed glass? 😆
I figured somebody would comment this 😂😂😂. Old braided line.
Where at in ns is this
Eastern Shore
Ok rhx
Thx^
What time of the year is this?
August. Thanks for watching!
@@Huntingpros thanks for the info. Greetings from Newfoundland
@@maximes.6959 not a problem! Cheers from Nova Scotia!
Do you require a licence to shore fish in tidal waters, and what are the size restrictions.
As of present you don't need a license for tidal waters. The size restriction last season was 10.55 inches with a retention of 20 fish. Thanks for watching! 😀
@@Huntingprosreally any type of fishing on the east coast tidal waters no License?? I’m on the west coast grew up in Victoria and live in Vancouver we need a tidal water license and extra stamps for other types of species
@@squamishfish no license required here to fish in the harbours.
@@Huntingpros so you can catch lobsters also a? clams and other shell fish ? No license?
@@squamishfish The Atlantic Lobster is highly regulated. By fishing I’m referring to with a rod and reel. I suggest you check the DFO regulations on what you can retain and fish without a license in the Maritime Region. I regularly fish for mackerel, ground fish, and sea trout, which does not require a license in Nova Scotia. Obviously, there are retention limits and size restrictions for some species.
