Great fishing, delicious cuisine, and untouched nature – Prince Edward Island has it all! A North Lake fishing trip is the first choice for avid anglers trying to reel in some big trophy fish. Exploring the deep waters off the coast of this Canadian sanctuary is sure to make for a great adventure.
Known as the 'Tuna Capital of the World', North Lake offers unparalleled Bluefin Tuna fishing. It's where some of the biggest specimens are caught, so if you're looking to beat your own record, this is the place to visit. While Tuna is the area's staple species, Atlantic Mackerel, as well as Blue Shark are also possible targets.
Depending on how ambitious you are, there's a variety of trips on offer in the area. If you want to just have a few hours on the water, exploring the greenery, book a half day trip. Full day trips are the way to go if your goal is to reel in some monster Tuna. You can go on a multiday retreat to enjoy your return to nature, as well as cruise these prolific waters for some whale watching.
Once you've decided on your next adventure, join a fishing charter leaving from the North Lake Harbour in Souris. Located on the tip of Prince Edward Island, you'll be in deep waters of the Atlantic right upon leaving the dock, giving you more time for productive fishing.
