Digby, NS fishing report
Digby sits at the mouth of the Annapolis Basin where it drains into the upper Bay of Fundy, and that mixing zone drives the fishing calendar. Striped bass move in during late spring once water temperatures climb past the low teens Celsius, holding through summer and into fall before pushing back toward their river wintering grounds. Pollock show up in earnest through summer and fall, often feeding aggressively near current edges and rocky structure. Mackerel arrive with warm water and can be thick from midsummer through early fall, making them both a target and an excellent live or strip bait for bigger fish.
The extreme tidal range here is everything — fish the last two hours of the incoming and the first hour of the outgoing when baitfish get pushed and concentrated against points, ledges, and current seams. Stripers tuck behind submerged structure and rocky shoreline drop-offs; work soft plastics, swimbaits, or live mackerel slow and deep. Pollock chase bait near the surface during tide runs and respond well to metal jigs and white bucktails retrieved fast. Watch for northwesterly winds that flatten the water and push cooler surface temps aside, as this often triggers feeding. When mackerel dimple the surface, follow the birds.
