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.

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."
