A co-worker of mine just got back from a vacation/fishing trip to Newfoundland. He is orignally from Newfoundland and posted some pics of his trip. Just thought I would share.

Nice Pictures. How far out do you guys go?

 

It wasn't me that was there, just my friend. He did tell me they were about a mile off shore though.

 

Shane, One of my longtime goals is to go even further east to "The Rock" and tour that fair prvince. I have many friends from there and they all say it's such a lovely province and worth the trip.
Some are from the southern portion too, like your friend Keith, and many have described the scenery around the Avalon Pen. and surrounding areas such as Cape Bonavista and Bonavista Bay.
Great pictures of your buddy's fishing trip and of how the weather can be so chageable.
TNX for posting.....I love the east coast and really enjoy my visits there.

Colin.

 

I have never been to NFLD, but would definitely love to go. I always wanted to see icebergs in the spring for some reason.

Btw, I thought Keith's picture of them catching that 6 foot shark was cool.

 

Tour around Keith's website when you get a chance Colin. He is from Cape Bonavista and lots of pictures on his website.

 

I shall, Shane.....What I've seen of his site already is just terrific....
I also posted a message for your friend Keith on his site in case he asks who it is....

Colin.

 

Mmmm...cod...

One day I'll have to go on an eating vacation on the east coast.

 

Great pics Shane, lots of fun and good eating going on there.

 

That's interesting. I was thinking about suggesting a big "G" trip there next year.

 

I would seriously consider this next year!

 

+1, I would as well. I have never been to NLFD and have always wanted to go. I should be able to get the grandparents to babysit for a few days.

 

Excellent guys. I have travelled to many exotic places from Brazil, most of Europe, Africa, US, blah blah and I can say that I have never seen anything like the ferry arriving to Port aux Basque. I thought I had landed on the moon. Hopefully you will see what I mean.

I have only been up the western coast shopping just short of the tip on the northern penninsula. That was about 7-8 years ago in July. It was interesting seeing an iceberg close to shore in the summer. Gross Morne Park was quite beautiful and the fjords were amazing. There are many beautiful quaint fishing villages to explore and some nifty twisty roads and spectacular coasal vistas. A drivers paradise.

It would be great to get a group together and do some travelling.

 

Sorry about that. I was just curious how far off shore they go and how deep the water is.
