heugh clown

[db4111]

saw a guy fishing the heugh today 21/03/13 on his todd about 25yards past the fence on the top deck..... the occasional sea was coming over the heugh .....what a CLOWN..... if he wants to risk his life let him but think of the lifeboat men or search and rescue who would be risking their lives to rescue this muppet... in the end we saw him running off the pier inbetween waves the STUPID CLOWN WORDS FAIL ME

You can't educate pork mate, you're right why should the RNLI etc risk their lives for muppets like him??

the waves can be coming over in the barrier area but towards the end its fine.

i looked accross this morning and the heugh was definately fishable as the sea had dropped right off but there was the odd splash coming over the barrier.

but... the winds been picking up all day and there are white tops forming again so it will be lifting again.

Your right mate these people only think of them selves they don't think about the lads from the RNLI or the Coast Guard that will have put their life on the line because some thick head wanted to fish

If I had time I'd a been on the Heugh today, if you have good local knowledge then you know when you can and can't go on.
The slightest bit of a sea on and it comes over the barrier, more at low water. Also comes over at the start of the breakwater too.

This clown has been fishing the Heugh for 40 years and i know it like the back of my hand.There was a bit of spray blowing over occasionally and i was bone dry all session and completely safe.Its uninformed interferors like you who dont know what your talking about that gets people a bad name.

Bri, I've been put to task before for fishing Roker when the gates are shut.....even though I've fished the place for over 30 years, and like you, know the place like the back of my hand.

People see water splashing up and think its dangerous. Its dangerous when it doesn't splash up, but rolls over the pier. Splash - you get soaked, roll, you get hurt.

I remember when i was a lad we fished the Heugh all the time when it was open to the public. Used to run to beat the waves mid section. Loads of times i heard the crash of the wave and the thump when it hit the pier wall so it was a case of running to the fence and jumping up onto the bottom wire whilst you held the top wire. The waves came over and washed over you and underneath. You then got three quarters along and it was safe as houses. Mind there was still a fence.
