forrest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 I will be going, especially since I picked up a bunch of discounted coupons today. Coupons are available at Tightlines in Pickering. thats the info! thanks diiggyj
maybe Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Could we please start figuring out what day we're going? Jeff and I really would like to meet up with everybody else, but we have to submit our on call schedules by Monday.
diggyj Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Just so you guys know, every day they are having a door crasher where they are giving away a 14' aluminum boat, so some of you may not need to buy your first small fishing vessel, might get one for free. Also kids can wn a 14' aluminum at the kids fishing hole. PARKING IS FREE ALL THE TIME
Radnine Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Posted January 3, 2009 PARKING IS FREE ALL THE TIME Parking is free?? What have I missed? Jim
diggyj Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 The show is at the INTERNATIONAL CENTRE, 6900 Airport Road, Mississauga, Ont PARKING IS ALWAYS FREE THERE.
misfish Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 The show is at the INTERNATIONAL CENTRE, 6900 Airport Road, Mississauga, Ont PARKING IS ALWAYS FREE THERE. I made the same mistake but it is not there,,,,,,,,,,,, See what’s new NOW at the Toronto International Boat Show! Find the boat of your dreams—and everything to go with it— at the Direct Energy Centre, Exhibition Place.
maybe Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 I think there's some confusion about which show is when/where. Just so everybody's on the same page, the spring shows: Toronto International Boat Show (what we're discussing right now) January 10-18 2009 - Direct Energy Centre (parking $$ below) Spring Fishing & Boat Show February 13-16 2009 - International Centre (free surface parking) Toronto Sportsmen's Show March 18-22 2009 - Direct Energy Centre (parking $$ below) The Direct Energy Centre's parking page shows surface lot locations, and entrances to the garage under the hall. Rates as of July 1, 2008: Surface $12.00 ($9.00 after 6:00pm) Underground: $12.00 ($9.00 after 6:00pm) Just across Lakeshore Blvd are 2 parking lots for Ontario Place (Google Maps satellite shot). There's a catwalk between the 2 lots that connects them to the Direct Energy Centre lots. I've seen people park there before for shows at the Direct Energy Centre. The Ontario Place website is kind of lacking, but I'm guessing if parking was $5 on Dec 31st, it's still $5 now.
diggyj Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 OK, that clears it up. I was Talking about the Spring Fishing and Boating Show. I don't need to go to the Boat show, because I just bought a new boat(Legend) at the end of 2008. I want to see some fishing stuff since I am getting the itch to hit the water after watching WFN daily.
Radnine Posted January 3, 2009 Author Report Posted January 3, 2009 I'll likely go to all three. They are just about perfectly spaced to help me maintain sanity until the boat comes out again.
JeffBornFishin Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Looks like were going this weekend. I have to work 17-18 weekend. Now just gotta sort out Saturday or Sunday
Stoty Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 My dad and I will be scoping out Bass Boats this Sunday! woooo
Guest skeeter99 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) if you want free parking for the boat show at the direct energy centre park at ontario place there is a parking lot on the lakeshore just west of the princess gates, about a 3 min walk to the direct energy centre, in fact it is just acroos the lakeshore you can see it have been doing this for years at sportsmen show and boat show Edited January 6, 2009 by skeeter99
Radnine Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Posted January 7, 2009 Me, my nephew, and at least two B-in-L's will be there bright and early Saturday morning (10:00 ish). I'll be the good looking one in the OFC hat and no underwear. There are some great speakers booked to appear on Saturday as well. Jim
Bernie Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 If any of you folks visiting the show are swinging by the Crestliner booth my son Nick is going to be hanging out there. Please stop by and say hi to him. He's a great kid and he is really doing a great job. This is him with his demolition derby car this fall.
purekgw Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 does any one know if they have kayaks there?
Radnine Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Posted January 7, 2009 does any one know if they have kayaks there? Yes, loads of them usually.
tinbanger Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 Won't be going .Last time I did I bought a boat ! ( 2006) really would hate to see what that money would buy in today's market.LOL TB
irishfield Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 LOL Dave... you've got that right and I may get dragged away for assulting Lund reps as well....
danbouck Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 I will be going on Saturday. I convinced my wife that I can't buy anything because I bought a new boat last year She forgot about upgrading
Dave Mercer Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 I will be there both weekends doing seminars and spending some time in the Yamaha booth. Please make sure to stop by and say hi ! Dave Mercer
Roy Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 I will be there both weekends doing seminars and spending some time in the Yamaha booth. Please make sure to stop by and say hi ! Dave Mercer Hell! That's worth the trip right there! You don't even need to know where the Yamaha booth is. Just stop dead in your tracks as though you were hunting/listening and head in the direction of the infectious laugh.
ohhenrygsr Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Go dave and congrats on beating Scott Martin Woot Woot
