Lobster traps set ... and you know what that means!
First big feed of lobster expected on Monday
Lobster fishermen on P.E.I. set their traps Saturday for the spring season.
The PEI Fishermen's Association expects some fishermen to pull some traps as well, especially in harbours that aren't far from shore.
Traditionally, Island lobster fishermen don't fish on Sunday, so Monday could be a big haul.
Here are some images of the big day gathered from social media.
