No, there are no gates. There is only a fence. It is permenantly fenced off because it is UNSAFE.
Rathouse corner is the only place you are allowed to fish. The pier/jetty is and always has been out of bounds.
Hope the guy gets better, but he should have had more sense at his age and showed a better example to the younguns.

Worst way to fall like backwards, he wouldn't even have been able to try and protect himself with his hands. Hope he recovers OK.
