south shields pier good news

[nrgjim]

good news for all anglers who like to fish pier the gateman had a meeting with there boss and decided to let anglers stay on pier when gate is close at your own risk port of tyne will not be liable for anyone on the pier when gates are closed this will be reviewed after two weeks as they have been told to report on the amount of rubish on pier if it continue then they will go back to kicking us off when gates close l know and so do you that its not us as most of the mess is mackrel rappers all over the place so lets hope some of them read this and clean there mess befor it gets to the stage were they stop fishing altogether as on tynemouth

[endurothumpers]

Hi I'm sorry to say but most of the mindless chavs
that leave all the mess and cause all the grief probably can't read.And to be perfectly honest wouldn't care if the fishing was stopped as they only come out maybe 2-3 weeks a year if that.I think maccy season is some sort of Chav holiday

agreed thumpers they turn up with baseball caps and there tracksuits tucked into there socks, its like they been hibernating and then appear from no were.

seems hard to beleve port of tyne management would discuss turning a blind eye it would leave them open to Litigation. they could not officially anounce this even if they said they are not liable they could get sued

[nrgjim]

its been like this for years they would kick off any kids not with an aldult port of tyne new this now a new security firm has taken over the pier they want to enforce kicking everybody off but when you get the odd nuget who threten the staff what can you do he even said we have not got aproblem with the reglar anglers its seems to be the macky bashers who come out from know where for a few weeks then befor you know it there gone till next year we have had this problem for years but ive notice there seem to be alot more each year got to admit it get a good laugh at them just last week we where on pier when some guy come up pulls out his brand new telescopic rod at most it would cast 3oz he sticks on a 5oz cast and it falls to bits in his hand had turn away could not stop laughing as he walked round looking at everybodys rod must of been thinking that what l should got well it will be winter soon roll on cant wait for peace and quiet

[Paul(Hag)Hague]

did the pier bloke not say something along the lines of if the pier isnt kept cleaner, over the next two weeks, the fishing will be stopped altogether!
but only until the makrel season is over, winter fishing will be back to norm.

[nrgjim]

his words to me where got to report mess on pier for next two weeks if it continues will be kicking every body off when he closes gates but what do you believe as one gateman lets you stop on and the others tell you must get off im on pier in morning at 5 so will be cleaning up befor he gets up there

thats very good to hear indeed means a longer cod session on the pier this winter...

[canman]

Are there no litter bins on the pier as on Tynemouth pier. At least the proper anglers will have the sense to use them

[Malcolm Tucker]

Plenty of bins on the pier. Whether the tinsel tossers know what a bin is for is another question.

With the nights drawing in then hopefully the problem will start to solve itself. Personally I much prefer fishing off the beach to being on a pier, but I rate Shields as one of the top marks in the area for consistency and it would be a crying shame if the low lifes were to end up costing us another venue
