Lobster Catches On Prince Edward Island Down About 40%

The president of the P.E.I. Fishermen's Association says lobster catches continue to be down dramatically this spring compared to last year.

Mike McGeoghegan blames poor weather and cold water temperatures.

"I'd say the catches are down by about 40 per cent just because of the temperature," said McGeoghegan.

"This cold water is really keeping the fish from trapping the way they should. And you know because of that the fishermen think the price should be going up and I agree with them."
