Nothing down my way at the regular spots , I'll be heading out the weekend and checking around .Has anyone seen gaspereau running? I've been checking my local rivers, where I got gaspereau last May, since mid April and I haven't seen anything. Now a friend of mine said he saw them way up the river chain (four lakes higher). This seems early or something. Did I miss them?
Well, I spoke to a fisherman coming in off the lower lake on Sunday and he said the fishfinder was full of gaspereau on the bottom. The last two days I've been seeing schools circling in the lower pool of the river so they should be running any day now. I'll check on my way home from work again today.Nothing down my way at the regular spots , I'll be heading out the weekend and checking around .
Here locally they were bait also except I remember many pickling them in Margaree and they did taste goodWhat do you do with them ? Smoke em..salt em ? We've never done anything with gaspereau cept use em for lobster bait or hand line bait for cod or pollack.
See lots smoking them now.
I talked to a couple of indigenous guys in the highlands back in the 90s...they smoked them hard and hung them up in trees in strategic places to lure the bears in for a shot ! Said their grand fathers did it. Worked for them as well !! !
Smoking them is pretty common down in this part of the province. They are good ... if you can get past the bone part. I believe there are still some commercial fishers in the LaHave River, that sells them to the fisherman for bait.What do you do with them ? Smoke em..salt em ?

We herring cut them and pan fry them. The small bones fry up crispy and you can eat them. The main bones stay on the spine.What do you do with them ? Smoke em..salt em ? We've never done anything with gaspereau cept use em for lobster bait or hand line bait for cod or pollack.
