Prince Edward Island

I am not sure how to illustrate Prince Edward Island. Ive had 16 several hours of driving to mirror and Im nevertheless at a damage for words. Honestly from a fishing perspective it’s the most magical place in the world. There is no other spot on our planet that will give you the chance to test you angling capabilities from the greatest Bluefins that swim.

It is like Jurrassic Park meets Sea Entire world. When you arrive you are right away consumed by how previous globe it is as you move the rolling green hills, farmhouses and dark red clay soil. Then when you meet Tony and his crew, you feel like your a part of the family members and you experience secure, safe and sound.

The boat journey nonetheless ought to be more time than the approximate 5 minute journey to the fishing grounds due to the fact you need to have far more time to brace oneself for the absolute destruction that goes on beneath the surface area of the darkish blue water. In fact I’m joking because absolutely nothing can prepare you for what your about to see and fishing will forever be transformed. I assure you you will be ruined permanently.

five seconds … Which is appropriate count one,two,three,4, 5 and you will be tied into a huge bluefin ranging from 600-1200 pounds as it rips beneath the boat and swallows your hooked bait. It really is like these strong monsters are pets and you known as them by name. Instantly on arrival to a herring internet. They will swarm beneath the boat hunting for a free hand out, not realizing that 1 will contain a circle hook.

Back to Tony’s Tuna fishing for a moment. Tony is one particular of the places top rated captain and he and his brother Brandon are tops in my textbooks. On my distinct journey he had a totally stocked cooler with each consume imaginable, cheese &amp crackers. For lunch Tony prepared fresh new lobster rolls and fresh new cooked mussels to warm us up. Greatest services I’ve ever witnessed.

My encounter was unimaginable but I was ready. I reached out to my good good friend Dennis Braid who has pioneered contemporary day stand up fishing and questioned him what to expect simply because he truly discovered stand up fishing for Giants in PEI. He has landed many giants from 1,000-one,200 kilos. Soon after consulting Dennis I decided to use his Powerplay method which is made up of his Tailor made 4’8&quot Powerplay Rod paired with his powerplay belt and bucket harness. For my reel and line I chose an Okuma Makaira 80w 2speed reel spooled with 1,000 yards of Jerry Brown Hollowcore spliced into a 200 foot Topshot of Momoi Diamond line and eventually finished off with a 10′ 400 pound fluorocarbon leader.

Fortunately for me, I hooked my dream fish and after a challenging 40 moment fight with drags ranging to 55 pounds I was ready to productively catch and release her boatside. She was approximated to be in the In the substantial 900’s-1,000 pound range but before I could permit her swim absent I essential to leap in and get a photograph with her to pay my respect. Right after a quick shot we swam her and she kicked absent and dove back to the depths of Prince Edward Islands head blowing waters.

Enjoy the thread boys ….
