Cod fishing on the north shore, from Blanc Sablon to Mingan, was not very good. It is calculated that this fishery did not yield more than one-third of a good one, taking into consideration the number of fisherment engaged on this part of the shore during the season. Cod came late, and in some places, as at Mutton Bay, Little Meccatina, and other ports, the fishermen could catch but a few quintals. |
