Fall Fishing in the Saint John Region

Tidal Water Fishing

The Bay of Fundy is finally starting to warm up, which means ocean fishing is going to peak between Late August and Late October.  These will be the months for the best shore based action for mackerel, striped bass and other species. The late summer sunsets on the Bay of Fundy are the best of the year. They can be enjoyed while surf fishing from the beach or while waiting for a bite off of one of the fishing wharves in the region. Fishing in tidal waters does not require a license or guide and can be done 24/7 for most species (please refer to DFO and DNRE for complete information.)

River Fishing

The Saint John and Kennebecasis Rivers will begin to cool down, making for better fishing for smallmouth bass, perch, chain pickerel and of course, sturgeon and striped bass! Did you know that the largest striped bass ever caught in Canada was in Saint John at the Reversing Falls? Did you know that the only open Shortnose Sturgeon recreational fishery in the world is also on the Saint John River system and that the world record has come from our river?  Well, now you do! Even more reasons to visit New Brunswick and the Saint John Region this Fall!
