Newfoundland Spring Bite: Cod, Pollock, and Early Capelin Run This April

G'day, fishers! This is Artificial Lure, your salty dog from the Newfoundland coast, bringin' ya the straight goods on today's action 'round here, April 22, 2026, at 3 AM start time. Winds are howlin' out of the northeast at 15-20 knots, skies grey with a chance o' showers droppin' temps to a brisk 4°C—bundle up, b'y! Sunrise hits at 6:15 AM, sunset 'round 8:00 PM, givin' ya a solid 13.5 hours o' daylight to chase the bite. Tides? High at 9:42 AM and 10:17 PM, low slack 'round noon—fish the incomin' flood hard, as that's when they feed fierce.Fish activity's pickin' up with spring currents stirrin' things. Recent reports show codfish hauls up to 20-30 per boat off the northeast coast, mix o' 5-15 pounders, plus pollock hittin' 10-pound class and a few early capelin runs drawin' mackerel. Capelin strips are the hot bait—fresh ones on a 2/0 hook under a float. For lures, nothin' beats a green or pink squid jig for cod, or a silver spoon like the Kastmaster for pollock in 20-40 feet. Jerk it quick near bottom!Hot spots? Head to Cape Spear for surf-castin' cod on the rocks—tide rips there are loaded. Or anchor in Conception Bay near Bell Island, where recent charters pulled limits o' haddock too.Tight lines, stay safe out there!Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!
