[Peter Emberley]

The recreational cod fishery will begin this weekend.

The summer food fishery will run from this Saturday until Sunday, August 9th and the fall fishery is scheduled for Sept. 19 to the 27th.

The personal limit is five fish per day, with a maximum boat limit of 15 groundfish.
DFO is asking participants to check their catches for pink or yellow tags located on the back of the fish. The tags are uniquely numbered and have a reward value ranging from $10-$100.

If the tags are returned with the recapture information, the reward can be claimed.
