Striped Bass & Mackerel Catch & Cook - Gaspé Adventures - E.1

#Gaspé #stripedbass #catchandcook

Jim Baird: Stripers & Mackerel fishing charter for a catch & cook over the fire was first on the list of our Gaspé adventures. A road trip to maritime Québec put us at a drive-up campsite in Carleton Sur Mere on the Gaspé Peninsula after dark and we awoke to a view of the Atlantic Ocean the next morning. We then met with the fishing outfitter - Pêche Sportive and headed out to do some saltwater fishing. After casting soft baits (using standard, medium weight fishing rods, and 20lb test mono) for a little while - we headed for deeper water in Bair-des-Chaleur to troll for Stripers. The bite wasn't on so we began jigging for Mackerel and caught 17 fish! It was our first time fishing for Mackerel (and Striped Bass too) and we were excited to catch these beautiful and hard fighting fish. When the temperature warmed a little we headed back in closer to shore trolling. Tori and I had a double hook up and we both reeled in Stripers! Tori's was a nice one and we kept it for dinner. Fishing more, I landed five small Striped Bass and Tori landed another decent one before our time was up and we had to head in to dock.

Keeping our fish on ice, we cooked it up over the fire at our campsite by the ocean that evening and it was delicious. The Striped Bass was good though quite mild, and we were both surprised that we liked the flavour-packed Mackerel even more. We both gorged on fish and then turned in for the night. The following day would be a full-on as we'd begin our canoe trip down the Bonnaventure River where we'd fly fish for Atlantic Salmon (something neither of us had much experience with). This time, we'd be poling the river - each standing in our own canoes and controlling our down river progress with long poles, another first for both of us!
