The State Wildlife and Fisheries Commission met in Baton Rouge to discuss the potential lifting of the sport fishing ban for some parts of Northshore water. This has something to do with the oil spill, much of which has been cleared and may potentially free up the area for fishing once again.

It is that time of the year again when fishing may be scarce and then again not. Salmons are coming in while lake trouts are moving out.
Now would be an exceptional time to fish offshore, about 150 to 200 feet of water fishing the top 50 feet. Look for scum lines and bugs on the surface.

Trout fishing may yet render lesser trouts if the Summer heat temperature continue. Rising to temperatures hitting the 70s, trouts may very well be dead before any angler would be able to catch them. Blame it on the weather or better yet the weird weather brought about by global warming.

PEI Mammal Biologists have identified the death of a young whale to fishing gear. Apparently whales do reside in the ocean and while they were not done on purpose, they are collateral damage for fishers exploring the ocean.
The female minke whale was found June 16 on the North Shore east of St. Peters. It was the eighth whale to be found on an Island beach over the past 20 years.
