dbenoit Report post Posted February 19, 2019 Good news on the milk. I bringing my fishing pole, hopefully be able to catch fish to eat. Should I ask about the beef? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted February 19, 2019 You better find out first, what's the cost of a fishing licence? Don't think they have a "Get your beef license"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 What kind of fishing pole /rig do you use when fishing for yearling angus steers? Do you need a attachment on your license? Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbenoit Report post Posted February 20, 2019 No fishing license needed in NS. I use an "Ugly Stick" with a Penn 750ss. I never trolled for angus before. I'll have to get a pole holder for the back of the MH. I can use the cruise control for trolling speed. Usually go after the stripers but the bottom fish are good eating. The pic is in Buzzards Bay last year. Not my biggest but legal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted March 26, 2019 We just got our tour info from Fantasy. Staging is at KOA, Montreal (some Island), 19 June..suggested we get there a couple of days early. They recommend the route out of Albany, NY. That's the way, we will go...after a small (per Linda) detour to Joe! Yes dear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbenoit Report post Posted July 15, 2019 Do you think I can bring frozen bait (squid, mackerel)? It sounds like I can but the description doesn't seem that accurate as it pertains to bait. Already planning to do some clamming as well. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted July 15, 2019 You know they have bait shops there right? It might be easier to just wait and buy some bait after you cross. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted July 15, 2019 DB. As Bill said, bait shops are everywhere! RV Parks are nice, big & comfortable in NS...not in NL. PEI is Fantastic!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbenoit Report post Posted July 29, 2019 Quick question: Is the alcohol limit into canada per person or per vehicle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianbullock Report post Posted July 29, 2019 Per person. You can bring up to 1.5 litres of wine or 1.14 litres of alcoholic spirits or up to 8.5 litres of beer (about 24 cans) each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbenoit Report post Posted July 30, 2019 I despise the "or" word, too bad it isn't the "and" word. At least we can double up on the alcohol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted July 30, 2019 DB. We have found that the wine & beer here, is superior to what I get at home...price is about the same. I can't figure why Ian carries Bud Light. Craft beer is everywhere! Other than Bourbon, the rest is imported to USA via Canada...why bring it back to CA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Tequila is your drink, I would bring a 40 ouncer each (1.14 litres of alcoholic spirit) to get you thru. Spirits tend to be much higher in price than in the US.

dbenoit Report post Posted July 31, 2019 Is it best to exchange US dollars for Canadian? I read that you could get hammered on the exchange rate at stores up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted July 31, 2019 My brother that traveled to Europe many times said that he use ATM machines. He said that got the best and most accurate exchange rate. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianbullock Report post Posted July 31, 2019 I would definitely exchange at a bank or ATM, would not advise using US currency at stores. You could use your CC's though and the CC company will give you a fair exchange, plus their fee which is generally another 2-3% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbenoit Report post Posted August 1, 2019 I will exchange at a bank prior. I won't give my CC even .01% I have a few weeks but already excited and prepping the MH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
