Hey Henk! Where in the Netherlands are you? We're coming over to
visit
some friends this year (not by boat though).


Hello John,
I'm living in the NE part of the country, more specifically:
N53º08'12''
E06º33'24''
If you want some info about (boating) here, please send me an
e-mail.

On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD
on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay!


My friend lives about 5km south of Gouda, in Stolwyjk. He is not in
to
boating but into motorcycling. Are there places where one can pay to
go fishing in the sea?

John H

I'd think "fishing in the sea" would be free.

I guess you have never gone fishing.

The only time I ever fished for free was when my dad took me!

LOL. If I figure how much a pound that salmon cost me, I would really be
broke. last trip to Ft. Bragg, and Noyo Harbor fishing salmon a couple of
weeks ago.
3 nights motel = $150
gas for truck = $120
food = $80

Total = $380

salmon weights and gear and bait on my boat = $30 (1 day fishing)
27# of uncleaned samon, about 12# of fillets.

380/12 = $31 / lb.

Not including the 1 day fishing on a party boat to scout the area and no
fish caught (but 10 nice dungeness crabs) $70 + tip and cooking crabs $20
for another $90 not figured into the salmon price.

Not including boat costs, repair, depreciation, wear and tear on the tow
Expedition = boat.

Experience == priceless.

Not all of us have to do that. $50.00 per night for a motel room? THAT
must have been cozy....

That's odd, I can walk up to the sea, just about anywhere, and fish
for free. I'm sorry you haven't figured out how to do that. I'm also
sorry you've never fished for free unless you were riding on someone
else's coat tails. Your fellow republican conservatives will dis-own
you now for allowing someone else to subsidize your fishing.

Bill, I've fished many, many, many hours for free.

Actually was a nice room. Clean, comfortable bed. I have had some very
nice $50 rooms and have had crappy $200 rooms. Get outside of Atlanta
Airport area, and you are probably hard pressed to find a $170 room.

b'asskisser can probably just walk on the water and scoop up the fish
with his hands. That's free!

Well, I am out of here to go look at a new camper for the new truck to be
delivered soon. Cost money to fish even as a kid, riding my bike to the
Berkeley Pier to fish, and no license required. Cost a dollar for a box if
3 frozen sardines. Plus hooks, line and rod and reel. And this was 50
years ago. Prices are up. Ask me about what it costs to fish for steelhead
from shore.

What state do you live in?

In California you have to buy a fishing license before you can fish
anywhere. You have to catch a fair amount of fish to pay for that license!

If you use old safety pins as hooks, a stick for a pole and dig your own
earthworms and don't have to buy a fishing license then I suppose you can
fish for free. Most people I know who fish spend incredible amounts of
money doing it. It's cheaper to just buy your fish at the store. But then,
that isn't the point.
