- Striped Bass fishing Bay of Fundy. A quick look at our first view of the bay, followed by fun and slightly chilly day at the Bay of Fundy with a great friend fishing from the shore for for anything we could catch. I caught several striped bass - or sea bass, and a handful of what we could not identify, but later someone said were called a Tommy Cod. Apparently the Atlantic Tomcod, also known as frostfish or tommy cod only grow to about a foot long, so I guess we could have kept & eaten those little guys.
We weren't starving, and so none were big enough to keep, - it was a day of catch and release.
It was amazing how quickly the tide rises, with each cast of the rod we would have to retreat up the shore about 2 paces. Another thing which was very interesting was how rough the water was where the currents were most active.
A fun afternoon in the chilly Atlantic wind on a gravel beach under the all-seeing eye of the Bass River Lighthouse.
If you want to see a satellite view of exactly where we were at the mouth of the Bass River, this is the Google maps coordinates for this spot: 45.394879, -63.780943

Great video friends
Nice bass 👍 always a good when your holding a fishing rod ☺️
Take care brother 🙏
Cheers from 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico Yucatan Peninsula ✌️🐶🥰
Would have been great to catch and cook a big one.
I was on the east coast for 10 days & never had a chance to eat any seafood or try lobster, so I guess that gives me a reason to return one day!
-20 this morning. Think of me when you are outside in a Tshirt!!
@@lovesloudcars T-shirt lol never hardly wear them to hot 🥵 tank-tops man lol
Or better yet come to Mexico for your seafood fix 😂
Beautiful place. That water got muddy pretty quick with the tide coming in though.
That's for sure about the water. Churned up quite a bit and the waves were pretty crazy at the point of the mouth of the river.
Certainly not crystal clear water like the Caribbean. Was a fun trip though, hopefully if I get a repeat I'll catch something big enough to eat.

Tom cod
How big to they get & need to be before eating them?
Tom cod
They certainly don't look like anything I've seen before -being a bush raised Alberta boy.
Around 27 inches
Right on. I hope to return one day and catch some keepers! Hope you enjoyed it. Stay tuned for more my friend.
Did you eat one?
No. The bass were too small to keep, the little Tommy cod apparently don't get bigger than about 12 inches but I learned all that later.
10 days in Nova Scotia & never had a stitch of sea food.. Gives me something to look forward to I guess.
They taste good.
Those are tomcod.
That's what some others said. I'm guessing you are familiar with them? How big do they get and I suppose they're good eating?
It was a fun time for an Alberta boy. Too bad we didn't catch any "keepers".
Either way it was fun. Perhaps I'll have a chance to return one day.
@@lovesloudcars they don't get very big. I caught a bunch in Beau Pres, Quebec. They aren't so exciting to catch... like big slugs. But they are not bad eating. You have to view them like perch or small mackerel. If you catch lots, and don't mind lots of filleting time, then the free meat is worth it (....maybe😁). In winter, in the Quebec City area, they come up the St. Lawrence in massive schools, and people come from all over to catch them. Look on UA-cam for St. Anne and tomcod.
@@curteouslycook I will check it out. Thanks for the reply. I got to visit Quebec city as a Canadian Ranger a handful of years ago. Beautiful city.
Meanwhile thanks for watching and your comments. Stay tuned for further nonsense and entertainment my friends!
A Tommy cod
Right on. That's what someone told me afterwards. Apparently they are small fish always? Managed to catch several, but didn't keep anything that day.
Still was a fantastic day on the other side of the continent from home!
Stay tuned for further nonsense and entertainment my friend!
I fish that bay 4,days a week in portipigue and 5 islands, biggest onshore 44 inches and 25 pounds
@@markbonnell1036 wow. That sounds fantastic. I'd have loved to go fishing off shore there. - kind of a bucket list goal. Maybe I'll get another chance to return to that side of the country again.
Lots of great spots there to fish , catch a lot of small ones before you catch a keeper, still fun
