Fishing has been an important economic and social activity in this community for over 135 years. Between May and September, lobsters and various species of ground fish are harvested in the waters of St. George’s Bay and Northumberland Strait. Fishing activities reach a peak in early fall as hundreds of fishermen from Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and various parts of Nova Scotia use this wharf as a point of departure and landing for tuna fishing expeditions.
