Magdalen Islands, Atlantic Ocean between P.E.I. and Newfoundland, Canada
"The Magdalen Islands, located between Newfoundland and P.E.I., are a beautiful group of tiny islands that stretch for 40 kilometers. They are connected by natural sand dunes and they are surrounded by endless empty beaches. In the summertime, the warm waters are a hot bed for Shark. In researching stories for the Wings Over Canada series, I discovered that there was only one charter operator in Quebec that had a license to fish mako sharks.
We found him on the Magdalen Islands. Now, a small clarification is in order: there are actually other charter companies that can take you catch and release shark fishing. But our captain could legally haul a shark into his boat! And so we went out on the Atlantic which cooperated by becoming flat and calm and we caught four sharks one after the other. We landed three of them alive and angry into the boat. They fought like no other game fish I had ever seen. For information, go to any search engine and key in Club Vacation Magdalen Islands."
