Two Hours Of Fun On The Water!

5.00I had a great time fishing with the Sea Halifax fishing tour back in September, there was lots of action out on the water! Shout-out to Brandon for getting a hold of me and booking me onto the earlier chartered tour the night before when I was originally booked to go out at 4 pm on Sept., 8th. He offered me the 11 am time departure, so I went on that one and it was able to free up my afternoon afterwards. Johnathan was my fishing guide that took our group out on the tour, he is very knowledgeable and knows where the hot spots are for landing the big fish. The boat is equipped with all your fishing gear, rods, lures and life jackets, so you don't need to worry about bring your own tackle gear, nor do you have to buy a fishing license prior to going out. It's all included in the tour. The spot we ventured out to was about a 20 minute boat ride southwest of the Halifax Harbour and Waterfront where we were catching both mackerel and cod. Everyone else had a head start in catching mackerel, but I was one of the first to land the big cods on the line. I ended up landing 4 mackerel and 4 cods each, with the biggest fish I caught was as much as 5 to 8 lbs! The fishing was mostly catch and release (at least for the bigger cod fish), but for the 1 to 2 lb mackerel you were able to keep if you wanted to. But for this excursion it was mostly sport fishing. Only downside I experienced on the fishing tour was getting seasick (which is no fault of the chartered tour, so I was able to stick it out to the end), so your best bet is to make sure you have enough to eat and take some Gravol prior to setting out to sea. The wave currents on the ocean is a whole different animal than being out on a freshwater lake. Overall, I enjoyed my time out on the water with Sea Halifax and would definitely recommend the two hour fishing experience if you want to land the big catch!
We had a great time
