Crown Battery makes decent ones. I have a 6 year old one and it still holds it's charge like the day I got it. Crown Battery is in Woodbridge ( the one I go to ). It faces Hwy 7 west of the 400 but the entrance is off of Trowers Rd.

Ford just announced today that they are scaling back truck/SUV manufacturing in favor of car/crossover production.

looks like a little stream I fished once in a while in Markham I think it was when I had to sit around in the truck waiting for a pick up at a customer

jjcanoe

Not one of those guys seemed awfully excited to catch those fish.

Durham CA has some brook brown and rainbow trout in the river there. There are a number of small lakes in the area but only 2 I know of with a launch/public access, Bells Lake northwest of Markdale and Wilcox lake southwest of Flesherton Both are on paved 'back' roads and a Grey/Brucemap should give the exact location. As for fish I haven't fished in either

Hope this helps

Are you useing a regular float or a slip float?

I am not in any way asking you to click the google ads (that would be a violation of the terms of service) but I believe clicking is all they count.

10-4 I try and click at least one each visit especially if they are fishing related. I actually have one bookmarked that was a google ad. Thanks for the hard work on the site, everyone appreciates it.

Little late for you but Sunday the lower was high and fast but receeding and a bit murky. The upper was moving nicely but still a lot of water moving through there.

There's gotta be a dutch store or 10 around Toronto area, we have 2 in London there's one In Chatham, one in Burlington, one in St. Catharines that I know about, but it's just not the same as the "fresh" stuff from over there!

Just got back from my trip tonight so once I unpack I'll get some spec pics up, probably in the morning. Gotta love those Brookies

jjcanoe

Is it Bob? Carl? Steve? Could be a pumpkinseed / longear hybrid.

jjcanoe

RIck is there a certain length of time you need to stay at a google ad for it to be counted, or do you just need to click, let it load and then hit back?

night ferry from there often over to hull to vitist my folks in the UK.

The 7th pic from the top Just of to the right is the Hoek v. Holland ferry terminal Saw one boat take off and one come back. Their size puts the Tobermory-Manitoulin ferry to shame.

jjcanoe

Yummy Cod to be precise!

Here's part 2

I will defiantly look up where you were abouts you were staying on Google Earth.... The Hague should not be hard to find lol..... Did you hit up any of the Herring carts? Mmmmmmmmm.....

 

Again an awesome report!

 

Ohhh yeah the WC Soccer game had me torn! But I am more Dutch then Portuguese as my mom is adopted... So I have never connected with that side of my genes. Needless to say I was wearing Royal orange

Went to the market in Naaldwijk on Wednesday to get my herring and licorice. Hup Holland Hup!

jjcanoe

(I am Dutch and Portuguese)....

how about that last world cup soccer game!

We stayed in Westland, Naaldwijk to be more specific. (between Delft and Den Hague)

Do you need a license to fish over there?

Not for fishing in the sea but you do for freshwater.

Part 2, Das Boot

Das Boot!

Our ride for wreck fishing

Heading out of the harbour only 40 more miles to go!

This guy disturbed our fishing for a few minutes. It was about 350 meters long and kicked up about 3 meter waves

Vertical jigging is the way to get these guys with live bait rigs (super sized ones again) or with jig and plastic minnows . (don't get snagged on the shipwrecks)

really fun when you have 2 on at once.

I ended up with 10 altogether best about 5lbs but there were some big ones caught and between the 12 guys on the boat we kept about 40kgs once they were all fileted.

Made for one giant fish fry on Tuesday!

Getting ready for the trip home

What's a trip to Holland without a picture of a windmill! Here's where they keep them now.

Anyone headed to Goderich to the Maitland R. heres what it looks like from 12kms up.

Triton Charters

Here it is complete with a lot of pics.........

Nice airline for a flyin trip

Over the Atlantic somewhere east of England

Setting up on the beach for some low tide night fishing

This reel was an Okuma but most were Shimano 10000 just huge reels

All set up waiting for fish. The rods are on stands about 5' high. We were using about 4oz weights and a home made kind of super sized double pickeral rig (weight on the bottom 2 dropper lines)

One of 5 small cod we caught. I got this guy and another about the same size. Too early in the year for sea bass.

Saturday afternoon we went to one of the shipping channels near Europoort (Europe's largest container port)

Little John working hard with a big casting rod

Watching the ships come and go

Theo and John with the only cod we got, one of three we saw caught that day

jjcanoe Part 2 to follow

10-4 Thanks for getting them.

Nice to see some pics from up there and hardly any snow left on the ground. I lived up there for a summer in 1987 as a Junior Ranger worked a lot at Tidewater P.P. and took a few floatplane rides to north point, Polar bear P.P. and Akamiski Island. Saw a beluga in the river headed upstream one day at the park while painting picnic table and cutting grass.

jjcanoe

Hey Pauly, if we try hard enough maybe we can get John out of the house some weekend for fishing!

John, got the boat out of storage today. I was thinking of going to LPB today since I was half way there but it looks a little grim and really windy. Fishing from the couch today!

-Brian

Sorry to hear that. It was 22C and sunny when we took to the sea for some cod on Friday. Report to follow next week when I get back. BTW enjoy the snow on Wednesday!!
