Nova Scotia (Atlantic Canada) fishing trips?
I am moving to Italy in January, and i would love to actually experience atlantic fishing. Everytime i go over there (italy) they always tell me … "bla bla bla, you find the best/freshest fish here" … must be some complex or something. I know Canada, and Northeastern US, can kick the shit out of Italy when it comes to ‘best and freshest fish’ … i was just wondering if there were tours or trips offered for everyday people such as myself (deep sea fishing, fly fishing, …) in Atlantic Canada? or even Northeastern US?
Can anyone help?
There are a lot of deep sea fishing tours out of PEI, especially the north shore like North Rustico but relatively far fewer out of Nova Scotia ports. But there is one that I’ve been wanting to try (and haven’t yet) out of Halifax. They even catch shark. Check out their web site at http://www.bluesharkcharters.com/Fishing.htm
The NS boat tours tend to be more sightseeing oriented than fishing. Lots of whales, seals, and birds on their tours – which are really nice. Some guarantee that you will find whales. One I was on had whales swim right under the boat.

Fishing trips off Cape Breton in northeast Nova Scotia – they will take you out for $175C freshwater fishing for snook.
Beautiful area and great fishing ! Highly recommend !

Bay of Fundy is an excellent area for fishing tours. From New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Maine. There are also numerous rivers that are good for fishing but that is more seasonal.
I don’t suggest fishing on the Bay of Fundy unless you have your sea legs, the swells can be over 100 ft. Riding a rollercoaster with the perpetual smell of fish may not be your cup o’ tea! *lol*
You can also do a whale watching tour in Cape Breton … I bet they can’t do THAT in Italy!
P.S. Even the mooses are friendly in Cape Breton lol
