mooseroo Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 My wife and I are heading to P.E.I this month and wondering if there are any places people would recommend for a bit of shore/river fishing? We've been to the island on numerous occasions, but only done the tourist charters for Mackerel/the odd Cod. This time we're looking to branch out and wondering if any one has experience out there. Names of day/halfday charters that you'd recommend would also be of great help! We usually just pick one when we get there. Hoping one of you has had a great time on a boat and would like to recommend the captain?! General tips welcome as well... newbie east coast fishing should be a good time! Can't wait!

Musky or Specks Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) Go to Bonshaw Provincial Park. Its polluted with small brookies and you can catch the odd big one downstream of the HWY 17 culvert. I had a great time fishing it while I was there for the day http://www.gov.pe.ca/visitorsguide/index.php3?number=1009918 Another link that will get you a little bit more excited http://hipwader.com/2003/pei-trout-fly-fishing Edited August 10, 2008 by Musky or Specks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuro Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm thinking Mackerel might be in. You don't need a license to fish the ocean. Get some little Cleos 3/4 ounce and toss them off a peer. Lots of fun...catch dinner every night in 1/2 an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douG Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Very true, scuro. Fresh mackerel is very fine eating. Floured then fried, a little lemon or green tomato pickle. I even caught a few cod off Sambro pier. If there are mackerel running, you will have a blast. Show up around dusk and look for locals. As for charters, I spent many vacations as a chile in North Rustico, and recommend that place. In fact, I just came back. When you stop there, look at the RW grocery store and pick up whatever fresh baking you see . My aunt makes it every day, not to be missed, esp the meat pies on Thursday. Just tell her who sent you.

mooseroo Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Thanks for the great suggestions! Definitely going to try a couple of piers with Cleo's. I'll pop the grocery and buy some baked goods and say hello to your aunt for you! Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
