Fishing is one of the popular outdoor activities in Halifax during the warmer months. Most of them throw the fish back after catching it. I have never tried this before so this is pretty exciting to me.
We went to the Canadian Tire to buy fishing rods and bait. We then drove to a place to catch squid. I forgot where it is but it was beautiful. I bought a fishing rod for squid fishing.
I believe went squid fishing around August. We were able to catch squids late in the afternoon. However, they said that more squids come out after the sunset. They are also very visible after the sunset.
If you want to go squid fishing, don't wear your favorite shirt as the squid will definitely squirt ink before you can even put it in your bucket. It is also best to wear flip flops and not your expensive Jordan shoes.
If other fish for fun, we fish for food 😋. You can just clean the squid and keep these in the freezer if you feel like eating squid in the Winter.
Around June / July, you can catch Mackerel. There is a fishing spot in Bedford that is close to the city. You will see a few people fishing in that area. Some even gave us their fish. I never caught a Mackerel as I don't have the right fishing rod for it. Mackerel is heavier (of course) and a rod for squid fishing can't hold it.
