Appearance: This is a salt water fish of beautiful appearance and singularly elegant shape. It is taken all along the Northern Atlantic coast, from Long Island to Newfoundland. From its agility and fine form, the Bay of Fundy fishermen often call it the "sea-salmon." It has a strongly-defined silvery line running down the sides. Above the lateral line the color is a greenish black. The belly is white. The time for fishing it is in the spring and fall.

Angling: Pollock are readily caught off most wharves along the south shore of Nova Scotia. A simple baited hook, dropped off the side of the wharf to bottom and then raised about 1-3 feet off bottom followed by jigging motions is all it usually takes. Casting for pollock becomes tricky as the larger fish tend to be deeper so snags are common. Cast and let your bait/jig sink to bottom and then "hop" it along the bottom can be very productive.
