near miss

near miss

had a near miss there last week early one morning. i turned up after night shift for a few hours to get rid of some bait. im down on my own until a chap turns up. we notice a cobble fishing boat coming out of the harbour, it comes right close in past the round end we notice its called "lilly of the vlley". big bright orange tawp on it. this chap tells me he is notorious for taking lads lines off the end cos he comes in so close. well, he starts dropping pots just off the neck end on a long rope, well within reach of canny casters. i forget about what this chap has just told me, he toddles off and i pour meself a cuppa to wake melf up. when i stand up and turn round theirs me rod bouncing around and the butts just start lifting off the ground. i manage to put me hand on it just before the line parts as its ripped off on his hull. the effing boat had come within about 50 yards of the round end. nearly lost the lot. so beware of boats like "LILLY OF THE VALLEY".

just buy a cheap rod nd real m8 or why dont u try on the rocks were there are no ships not being cheeky like m8
 
thats some bad luck you have had and it is annoying when boats come so close but they do have the right of way there was some thing said last year about it up at amble I always stand next to my rod when I see a boat passing hope you get your gear back
