Who wants to fish PEI?

Do these letters ring a bell? If you have fished for giant Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna or have dreamed about it than you know they stand for Prince Edward Island, Canada. One of our very good clients fished the area last year and spoke highly about the fishery and catching these enormous tuna which can attain weights up to 1500 pounds. Of course watching the reality show Wicked Tuna has done wonders to stoke the internal fire to tangle with these monster Tuna.

I have done some research in fishing these magnificent fish and it seems that the season is short with the prime time being August 15 thru October. The fishing area is just a short run out of the harbor about 15 minutes, from my understanding you have one hour from the time its hooked to catch and release a fish, with the tackle they use it’s not as hard as you would think, most fish are to be at the boat with in that time. Once a fish is released the boat has to return to the harbor and tag up then return to catch a second one. They have strict restrictions on these fish and how you fish them in order to preserve the specie and increase the population. This all catch and release.

 
I would like to put together a small group to go and fish these guys and am wondering how many of you would like to go with me? Just to throw out some prices so that you have an idea on costs boats charter from $1300.00 and will comfortably fish 4 anglers per boat and include everything you need to fish, so if we put 4 guys on a boat your looking at $325.00 per day fishing costs, lodging will run about $75.00 per night per person and round trip airfare around $900.00 from LAX. So for a 5 night stay, 4 days of fishing and airfare it should work out to about $2600.00 per person. Once I know how many are interested in joining me I can finalize all the costs. Ideally I would like to go toward the end September so if you would like to go or want more information you can either e-mail me at fishwithcass@gmail.com or call me at (800)593-6510…..Cass
