Canada Cod Fishing Seasons

Calendar
Cod fishing in Canada offers two classic targets. Atlantic Cod on the East Coast and Pacific Cod on the West Coast. These Groundfish are prized for steady action, firm fillets, and accessible trips near productive coasts.
Most anglers use bottom fishing with bait like herring or squid. Jigging with metal jigs also works well, especially over reefs and rocky bottoms. Captains often drift to cover ground and find active schools fast.
Charter trips are straightforward and friendly to beginners. Runs to the grounds are often short, and tackle is usually provided. Wear warm layers, waterproof footwear, and bring snacks, sun protection, and a cooler for your catch if allowed.
On the Atlantic side, Newfoundland and Labrador and the Maritime provinces offer famous Cod grounds in season. On the Pacific side, British Columbia’s inshore structure and nearshore reefs hold Pacific Cod, often alongside Halibut and Rockfish. From St. John’s to Vancouver Island, coastal towns provide easy access to prime areas.
Regulations for Cod fishing in Canada change by province and area. Always check local fishing license and permit rules, and confirm open seasons and harvest limits before your trip. Your captain will explain current rules and safe handling so you fish within the law.
What anglers said about Cod Fishing in Canada
- 5.0/5(6 Hour Trip)
Great fishing
Jon was outstanding. We caught our quota of coho within the first 10 minutes of fishing, then went on to jig for lingcod (of which we caught 3 sizeable ones) and assorted rockfish of which 5 were keepers. Highly recommended.

Great day
We had a great experience with Brodie and caught lots of fish, Coho, Ling Cod and several species of Rockfish

Some Days Are Unforgettable!
My husband and I have always wanted to fish for Salmon. Brandon was amazing and so knowledgeable about the area. We caught lots of fish, but only kept a few. We were catching Chinook and Rock Cod and ended the day observing a Sea Lion Colony. The boat had all the safety features and the scenery was beautiful. Thank you Brandon for looking out for two very senior anglers. We would do it all over again.

Great time
Overall the trip was good. We were in the water hoping to get some halibut, but unfortunately we didn't. However we got lingcods. The captain was cool and complimented us with some halibut from his resource.

Perfect day out!
Went out with Dane early morning with my 12 year old son and his great uncle. We limited out on Chinook in what felt like record time! Switched it up and went home with some ling cod, seabass, and a rockfish. Captain Dane was excellent, and knew what would be important for my son. An absolutely amazing day, so glad we went out with Pacific Wild Adventures!
