Some fish are taken by Seining, but most are caught by hook and line in a small-boat fishery lasting from June 1 to September 1. All around Campobello and Deer Island and on the New Brunswick shore as far as St. John are located weirs, which furnish large quantities of herring to the factories at Eastport and Lubec.

Contrary to a very general impression, the fish are not enclosed within the net, as in Seining or in pictures of the miraculous draught of fishes.
"A Poor Man's House"
Stephen Sydney Reynolds
Here and there along the shores we saw little huts of fishermen, with nets hung out to dry, or groups of men Seining or dropping dip-nets; upon many slopes were little terrace garden spots, where modest crops were cultivated; here and there were mats lately finished or heaps of fresh-cut rushes for their fabrication.
