Sea Troot - if it was me who said rougher the better I was talking about the skeers, not the pier which is a particularly dangerous place at high tide in a big sea.

Quite right David; I was talking with Simon at Lewis's in Whitley only yesterday about it and he told me there are many people who come to the shop every winter looking to replace boxes of gear that have been swept away (got to be the no.1 shot for lost gear in the region!), and one or two have themselves been knocked over the back. It's one of those innocent enough looking places that only needs one rogue wave coming over the top....

well i did take a look had a walk along and it was 2 hours till high water and already it was looking a bit dangerous on the pier so i decided to do the right thing and just go to the beach. better safe than sorry.

Phew.....I must admit I was worried enough to check the pm's I'd sent just to make sure the info I'd posted was right. The North Pier's washed much more easily than the South but it's also more obviously dangerous. The shape of the South Pier seems to produce more rogue waves so beware.

yeah info was spot on m8, like i say i knew by looking it was too risky to fish there so decide for longsands which i enjoyed and will be fishing again.
