jjcanoe Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancur373 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 My Mother In Law is headed over on Saturday. The wife and I are thinking of going in the next few years. Do you need a license to fish over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjcanoe Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) (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. jjcanoe Edited May 1, 2008 by jjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjcanoe Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
