Prince Edward Island is a saltwater angler's paradise surrounded by the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Northumberland Strait. North Lake is famous as the "Tuna Capital of the World" for giant bluefin tuna, while the island's countless streams and estuaries offer outstanding sea-run brook trout fishing each spring and fall. Striped bass have made a remarkable comeback in the Hillsborough and West Rivers, and mackerel fishing from the many wharves and beaches is a beloved island tradition for locals and visitors alike.
