The Joy of Fly Fishing in New Brunswick

I haven't had the pleasure of catching my very own striped bass yet but it's one of the goals I've set for 2013.

But fishing season isn't open quite yet and I need a fix so I'm spending a little time watching some Youtube fishing videos. I'm looking for some striped bass fishing in New Brunswick to see what I can learn and for a bit of entertainment.

The first video I saw this morning was from MyersMuskie and he was fishing with his dog. I think he should train his dog to help a little, maybe move the camera around a bit.

I was glad to see that he kept his striped bass in the net and in the water until he had the hook out and was ready to get a picture for the memories. CPR – Catch-Photograph-Release is the way I like it.

Fishing Stripers Without A Boat

It's nice to have a boat or a friend who has a boat, thanks Casey, but striped bass can be caught right from shore if you know where to go. The following video is a few friends fishing from shore casting right into the Bay of Fundy.

Forgive me that's it's not actually New Brunswick but hey Nova Scotia is right next door and we both share the Bay of Fundy. Enjoy this guy's first striper. I kept rewinding and watching that part of the video.

Well break time is over so now it's time for a snack and then maybe I'll sort my fishing lures just one more time before the season opens.

I wasn't there and no one shot any video but my friend Casey hooked and landed a little striped bass in the Saint John river at Jemseg, I think.
