For those who prefer to go after big game fish, may we suggest some tuna or shark angling? There are several tuna charters available on the Island, and a handful of boats equipped to take adventurers into waters where sharks are lurking beneath the surface.
Now, for all you beach-goers, don't be alarmed. These blue, mako and porbeagle sharks prefer the cooler waters of the channel and are rarely seen close to shore. And further to that, within the pages of our rich and colourful history, there has never been a shark attack on Prince Edward Island. Our waters are not only the warmest north of the Carolinas, they are among the safest, too.
For the most part, though, sharks don't frequent Island coastal waters until late summer and because of this, charter captains don't start taking bookings until September. Come July, however, there is plenty of action for big game fishers as the tuna season begins by the middle of the month and carries on into the fall. The tuna fishery operates on a quota system and therefore does not have a fixed season.
With a rod sitting firmly in its sheath, be ready for a fight that could last up to three hours. Tuna will pull hard on your line, so hard that the captain will have to start his boat and pull against your prey. The boat will sometimes travel up to nine kilometres (six miles) in an attempt to wear down a large tuna.
There's a good chance that you may not even see your quarry until you have it up to the boat, because a 400 kg, or heavier, tuna will make every attempt to stay deep in the water, often moving back toward the boat in order to get some slack in the line and then making a run in the opposite direction. At this point your line will tighten with a snap and the fight will be on once again.
Sport fishers view tuna angling as one of the greatest thrills of their sport and they are equally thrilled by an apparent resurgence of the species over the past few years. Charter operators had seen a decline in tuna numbers for about 10 years, but these migratory giants of the sea are once again plentiful in the waters off Prince Edward Island. Tuna charters can be booked from North Lake, also known as "The Tuna Capital of the World."
