Setting Day, North Lake, Prince Edward Island May 5th, 2024
Tune in & turn up your sound to hear the crowd, the Piper play the bagpipes, & the roar of the engines as the fishermen & women head out to their fishing grounds to set their traps for lobster season.
It was a calm, cloudy & 2C temperature as they head out to sea. The air felt heavy as if there is weather coming.
Enjoy the video.

Due to crowding & pick up sound of the Piper, I had to relocate my position. This is part two of setting day at North Lake, PEI. The Piper, Larry Fitzpatrick plays the bagpipes as the boats sail out for traps to be set. Not only will you hear the Piper in this video but you will get to see him. Turn up your sound. May you all have a safe & prosperous season. Enjoy.

The lobster fishing has started again. It was a cold, zero degree temperature with light winds this morning. The sun was shining after a cloudy start. Lots of people were out in the cold to see all the fishermen & fisher women head out to set their traps. A piper played as they headed out. Due to the crowding, I had to move to get better viewing & hear the piper. Another video will follow.

This is at North Lake, PEI this morning, May 4th, 2021. It is Setting Day!! For those of you who were unable to be there or had never seen what it is like at a fishing port on Setting Day, sit back & enjoy the action & watch them sail. Everyone from infants to older people, many retired fishermen were out this morning in support, wishing them well, cheering them on, waving & even a Piper, Larry...

    If you ever visit PEI go north until you come to a place called North Rustico Harbor. We experienced some of the nicest people you could meet there while vacationing from Maine. We went fishing and donated our cod to the local church. Cod season had just reopened after being closed for 2 or 3 seasons. They were having a big celebration because of the cod season and the “new” potatoes were in. A wonderful time with lovely people.
