Cod Fishing

Experience the thrill of traditional Newfoundland cod fishing with Northland Discovery Tours. Set off from the rugged shores of St. Anthony aboard our well-equipped vessels and immerse yourself in the rich fishing heritage of the region.

Our experienced crew will take you to prime fishing grounds, where you’ll learn traditional techniques for catching cod. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-time fisher, we provide all the necessary gear and expert guidance to ensure a rewarding and memorable experience.

As you haul in your catch, take in the breathtaking coastal scenery, watch for seabirds soaring overhead, and keep an eye out for whales and icebergs, depending on the season. We also share stories of Newfoundland’s fishing culture, giving you a deeper appreciation for this time-honored way of life.

At the end of the trip, you’ll have the chance to participate in the traditional “cutting of the fish” and even take your catch home or have it cooked!
