Lobster fishers on P.E.I. say they're happy to hear that a personal-use mackerel fishery will open this year, but they're not sure it will help them with bait during the spring season.

"If we got a chance to go get some, we certainly will," said Allan Cody, who fishes out of Covehead.

Mackerel is often used as bait in the lobster, halibut and other fisheries.

Cody currently buys bait from a supplier in Tignish but it comes from waters near Iceland, he said. They're frozen and then shipped to Canada. But, "the fresher the mackerel the better."
