Fall Food Fishery this Weekend

[Peter Emberley]

The fall recreational groundfish fishery in the province begins on Saturday. The fishery will be open in all areas around Newfoundland and Labrador except in the Eastport and Gilbert Bay Marine Protected Areas. Management measures will be the same as in 2011, including a daily bag limit of five groundfish per day including cod, and a maximum boat limit of 15 fish when three or more people are fishing. This includes tour boats. The recreational groundfish fishery wraps up on September 30.
