Friday 30/10.... Sea flat no wind nice and warm . WHY WAS ROKER AND SHEILDS PIERS CLOSED. SHOCKING. We phoned and were told poor forcast later in day. SHOCKING. The pier should have been open until the weather warranted it being closed. Fished at pans bank had 3 little touches all day but we had a large seal right in front of us all day. Used rag, runnydown, squid and mussel. River good height and like a mill pond but no fish where we were. Very disappointed piers were closed on such a nice day. I have fished both piers when weather was a million times worse. RANT OVER.
