Summary

Seasonal: Begins July 2023

Background:

Visitors and locals alike enjoy fishing the coastal waters of Newfoundland and Labrador, but no other time of year is more exciting than the annual Food Fishery. Each year the Government of Canada designates a timeframe where people can participate in what has been the lifeblood of Newfoundland and Labrador for hundreds of years – cod fishing. Whether you use a handline to jig for cod, or a rod and reel, getting out on the water to fish is an exhilarating time best enjoyed with family and friends. The 2022 recreational ground fish season is limited to spcific dates in the Summer and Fall. See below for more information. In addition to fishing for cod, we'll have an opportunity to view resident wildlife, including marine birds, seals, otters and possibly whales and your guide will discuss the history of Cape Broyle, including tales of years gone by.
