Meet
the Crew...
Captain, Tony MacDonald & First
Mate, Bradley MacDonald
|
Captain
Tony MacDonald has been a fisherman
for 18 years. After graduating from
the University of Prince Edward Island in
1995, Tony came back home and bought his
own fishing outfit and began a
successful career fishing lobster, tuna,
herring, and mackeral.
First mate
Bradley MacDonald has been fishing for 13
years. He fished lobster with
his older brother Tony for seven years,
and started his own lobster fishing
enterprise in 2004.
Tony and Bradley grew up in the Elmira area
fishing with
their
|
 |
their
father, who has been on the water for forty-five
years. They continue to fish tuna together, using the
L’il Miss Maddy while their other fishing vessel, the Tie
One On, is rigged for herring and mackeral fishing from July
to October. May and
June is the lobster season and both boats are equipped for
lobster during this time.
Experience is not an issue here -
two Captains for the price of
one!
L'il
Miss Maddy
|
|
Don't let the
name fool you, she is 2005 Hustler
powered with a 550 HP Cummings motor and
cruises at 20 knots - she is arguably one
of the fastest boats in North Lake! Not
only is she fast (still with that new boat
smell), but she offers all of the comforts of
home including hot water, microwave, table,
bunks, washroom, furnace, 120 volt power and
coolers.
She is as equally
equipped on the technical side with three
VHF radios, a 32 mile radar, dual frequency
color sounder, chart
plotter, and a computerized Max-Sea system for
bottom charting.
Also, L'il
Miss Maddy is Transport Canada inspected,
meaning
|
all safety
equipment has been tested, stability tests have been
successfully completed, and all mandatory fire fighting
equipment is on board.
