Bass) may be fished in saltwater however all regular
recreational freshwater fishing regulations apply.
Consult Your anglers handbook.
Non-sportfish
(Everything else):
"
Recreational fisheries management in Scotia Fundy
is essentially a shared responsibility between DFO
and the Provinces. There has been some decline in
the receational fishery on marine species, especially
in ENS (eastern Nova Scotia), due to moratoria on
the cod and haddock fishery and the declining state
of other groundfish stocks. Currently, ENS has a limited
season (June 19- Sept 8) and daily bag limit (five
fish, no halibut) while SWNS (South Western Nova Scotia)
is open all year round with less restrictive daily
bag limits (ten fish, no halibut). Consideration is
being given to the implementation of marine recreational
licences. " Source.
