The striper fishing is just about the only fishing that is getting better here lol The population has absolutely exploded. Any estuary or salt water spot is infested with them. Worse part is they are still heavily protected by the regulations .How’s the striper fishing out there these days? I’m thinking of heading out this year
But ya they are everywhere nowadays unlike our salmon or brook trout.

I’ve heard it’s been getting good. I was out 4 years ago but didn’t hang around, went out to PEI to do some speckled fishing and were going to make our way back. Girlfriend washed the bag of pot I had tucked in my jean pocket in the suitcase, that was the end of that trip, had just enough black hash to get me home lol. Just talking about it with her, she always check my pockets now lol. And worst of all the speck fishing seemed to kind of suckThe striper fishing is just about the only fishing that is getting better here lol The population has absolutely exploded.

Any fishing other then deep sea fishing sucks ass in PEI, always has.The farms have the rivers and streams polluted to fuck. Read about runoff fish kills all the time. Great beaches there though lolI’ve heard it’s been getting good. I was out 4 years ago but didn’t hang around, went out to PEI to do some speckled fishing and were going to make our way back.

Not sure what time of year you were here, but our waters get ridiculously warm nowadays. My beach is 70-78 from late june through september. Even had a few days 80 last summer. Here in the gulf of st lawrence is even warmer then the south shore of NS where I grew up.Trust me there was a lot more involved in that trip and if we hook up, yes I will let you know, it’ll make for a good couple of hours of conversation, tragically comical

The fishing here sucks ass compared to even 25 years ago. Not a healthy watershed in the province. That is why people now fish rainbows, browns, smallmouth, and striped bass. The fish that use to be here aren't anymore. Including the saltwater species. It is shameful how bad it is now.

I've always fished rainbow, smallmouth and stripped bass. The watersheds are in disgraceful shape because the idiots in P House allowed pulp companies to rape the land with clearcuts.The fishing here sucks ass compared to even 25 years ago.

I hear ya, our lake has, over the years, lost white fish, natural reproducing lake trout, and big pike are pretty much history, still lots of bass, crappie, and thousands of little worm infested pan fish. The ministry stock 35,000-50,000 lake trout every spring at my boat ramp. This was a jewel of a lake 40 years ago, now it’s a giant recreational park for jet skis, weekend warriors and huge boats. The nosey pontoon boat people start their nightly patrols around 6ish, I could spit on their decks as they drive by lol......I’m moving to the woods lol
I’m a surf and turf guy lol

I have river, creek and pond land on the farm. Never really liked the idea of folks being able to pass right by your front door. I have my house a good mile from the water.

I have no idea how old you are but I can say that two of those three you listed weren't always found here. The third was only found in a couple of watersheds naturally.
You are absolutely right about what destroyed the watersheds. It blows my mind that with the destruction that has happened in my lifetime, it is still full steam ahead here. Even the rivers here in Cape Breton have been completely destroyed by those ignorant fucks and their harvesters.
The kicker to all of that is us tax payers have actually paid over a billion dollars just in the past decade to make it all happen. Corporate welfare at its worst. Pathetic.
As a province us in Nova Scotia sell ourselves to the rest of the world as what long ago was. What made us great is long gone. Just look at the stocked freshwater list online. Nova Scotia was long ago dead.

The rainbow and smallmouth were introduced before my time. During my time somebody thought it a good idea to release pickeral, now the fckn things are everywhere.
Anyone interested in old time fishing should read the book The Tent Dwellers by Albert Bigelow Paine describing one if his trips to the Kedgi area. Its amazing to read his descriptions of the kind of Speckled Trout fishing that was here at one time.
Its disgusting to think that our tax dollars helped fund the ruin of our watersheds but there can be no doubt about it.

Just to elaborate, the washed pot was sent to me, picked it up in Moncton at Purolator after the girlfriend lost the 1.5 ounces of bud, left it in a drawer at a motel. That’s why we had to boots and saddles out of Nova Scotia. Needless to say it was the worst trip ever ..... we laugh about it now but every day brought another fuckup, I almost left her in PEI after she washed the potAny fishing other then deep sea fishing sucks ass in PEI, always has.The farms have the rivers and streams polluted to fuck.

Dang, BF Crappie!
From the start, it was just a regular fishing trip for Lionel “Jam” Ferguson, the kind the Philadelphia, Tenn. angler routinely takes when he isn’t working. But routine or not, the Tuesday, May 15, 2018 trip ended with one of recent memory’s most viral catches, the hooking and landing of a huge black crappie from an East Tennessee pond that has been weighed in by Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) officials at 5 pounds, 7.86 ounces. “I was off of work,” said the 33-year old, who works at the Viskase plant in nearby Loudon, Tenn. “When I’m off, that’s what I do, I go fish. It’s just that this time, I caught that big old crappie.”
It’s a stunning fish for sure, one that has the potential to become both a Tennessee state record and an International Game Fish Association all-tackle world record.
