The earliest Prince Edward Island lobster fishermen will be setting traps for the spring fishery is Monday, May 4, according to the P.E.I. Fishermen's Association.
However, Association president Craig Avery says boats on the South shore of the Island may have to wait longer than that because, as Avery told CBC Monday, most of the harbours from East Point to Victoria are still iced in.
He said conditions on the North shore are variable, with harbours free of ice along the western tip of P.E.I. but a good number still impassable from Hardy's Channel to the eastern end of the Island.
