Just like any sentence beginning with the word FACT, this is 100% true – muskies love to eat lobster. Who doesn’t? Here on the east coast McDonalds even has a McLobster!
This beautiful muskie was caught in the Saint John River near Fredericton, which despite its size and distance (200km) from the ocean rises and falls with the world largest tides in the Bay of Fundy.
First off, happy fathers day gentlemen! My son is a couple months shy of turning two and being a father has been incredible so far. Usually we spend a day each week fishing together, but I decided to fish solo for fathers day to maximize my time on the water. I spent nearly 15 hours fishing, and in the end I found what I was looking for, a New Brunswick muskie!
It wasn’t a huge fish, but it was great to be fishing muskie again and hopefully I’ll be able to make a few more trips later this year to boat a trophy fish.
Check out my report in our forums!
It’s no secret I love muskie fishing. I used to live in Ontario, Canada where muskies could be found in almost any body of water but since I moved out to the east coast of Canada I haven’t been able to muskie fish because there are simply no muskie here (or pike for that matter). Or so I thought. I ran into a fellow by the name of Bruce Park while visiting my family in Ontario. It turns out he is the head of Muskies Canada for the Mississauga chapter in my old town. I mentioned my lack of muskie fishing in recent year and he asked me why I wasn’t fishing in New Brunswick, the neighboring province. Little did I know, but within a 5 hour drive from my doorstep there is some pretty serious muskie fishing around Saint John New Brunswick!
Here are a few samples from the Saint John muskie site.
I feel a road trip coming on!
