Thank you,

You will love PEI . . . great place and great people.

My last charter there was about 10 years ago . . . most charters are on down easters and not as luxurious as the big Carolina boats . . . but it was an enjoyable day.

Good luck in finding a good charter.

Paul,
Great spot to visit and you will be there during the best BFT fishing time...!
Go kill a big one!

i'd jump on 360tuna.com, dennis braid has been up there putting the hurt on those fish, rumors are 1000lbers on standup!

It's possible that this record could be broken (see pic below). There are Bluefins landed about every other season in Antigonish, Nova Scotia that dress out at a bit over 1300 pounds. These fish are larger than Ken Frasers world record caught out of Canso. 1,496 lbs.
And there are 1,000 pounders taken every year at PEI !!
