Hop on board Captain Hal’s Northumberland Strait fishing boat, Janis Dians, for a fun-filled mackerel fishing adventure along the stunning Nova Scotia north shore coastline. Your experience begins at an authentic fishing wharf, where the sights and sounds of the harbor set the tone for a memorable day. Stroll down the dock to meet Captain Hal and explore his boat before departure, enjoying a full safety briefing and an overview of the course ahead. As you set sail across the sparkling waters of the Northumberland Strait, take in sandy beaches, tree-lined shores, and vibrant sea life while Captain Hal navigates to the best fishing spots using his state-of-the-art equipment.
During the cruise, Captain Hal targets multiple locations to maximize your chances of catching mackerel, providing expert instruction and all necessary rods and tackle for beginners and seasoned fishers alike. Mackerel fishing is ideal for families and first-time anglers, offering fun, interactive experiences for everyone on board. Known as one of the healthiest fish to eat, you can bring home your catch for a fresh, delicious meal. While the mackerel run all summer, a catch cannot be guaranteed, but the excitement, scenic views, and hands-on guidance ensure a rewarding and enjoyable day on the water. This tour combines adventure, education, and relaxation, making it a perfect maritime experience for nature lovers and fishing enthusiasts alike.

What's not to like about this trip. Fantastically entertaining hour with close encounters with a playful dolphin, black backed gulls and 3 mackrel caught as well as wonderful scenery and entertaining anecdotes. We had a great time and im sure if you sign up for a trip you will do too .

I have just come back from the most amazing boat trip with Harry. I rang the number and he came asap to take myself , my son and our 2 dogs! He couldn’t be more helpful. He took us to see a Dolphin which was just magical! The Dolphin stayed with us for ages. We then Mackerel fished which my son has never done before. Harry was so helpful, kind and just so passionate about the sea and Lyme Regis! We had the most wonderful day. Thank you so much Harry - Jess & Ollie

We had the best deep-sea fishing trip. Both my partner and I were completely new to sea fishing so we were abit nervous at first- but Harry was amazing! Guided us through everything, with lots of helpful tips and extensive knowledge. The group we had with us on the boat were great too, lovely little team. The group caught a mix of conger eels, sea bream, mackerel, dog fish and even a smooth-hound! And to top it off we even saw a dolphin! Great trip, would highly recommend and we will definitely be back! Thanks Harry! ☺️

We went deep sea fishing with Harry this morning and had an amazing time! Harry was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. He taught us how to fish and knew exactly where the best spots are. We caught four dogfish, four whiting, and a red gurnard! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a fun day out on the water.

What an amazing trip! It absolutely made our holiday. Harry just radiated love of the sea and it was infectious. He took us to see a dolphin that was hanging out in the bay before each of the boys were given a fishing reel to catch mackerel. They smiled the entire time! Afterwards, Harry filleted the fish for us to take home. It was glorious. Harry made us feel really welcome - what a friendly chap. If it helps others, dogs are permitted (and welcomed) and he can take card. Thanks for a wonderful memory.
