snagging on roker pier

[newfisherman]

Was fishing with a mate today from about 11 onwards about 30 yards from the end and we kept getting fouled up. Got talking to three other lads who were getting fouled up as well, general consensus was there must be a rope/line or summat catching you on the retrieve as watever was catching you had some give to it and this area is normally ok ground wise. Anybody found this? Thought it might be worth a mention

Yes I find this almost every summer when the yachts are out and about.
But I have noticed this year that some pot ropes have been quite close so maybe a pot has lost his dan and the rope is closer to the pier.
With all the mackie bashing that's been done it might be full of lines snagged on it.

More than likley, its got 4 of mine for a start!

Ive posted a thread a couple of weeks ago that a lobster boat dropped his pots about 50-60 yards of the pier,so more than likely his subsidising his catch by selling used terminal tackle.

Yeah i noticed this last Sunday. But it was low water and you could see the rocks down the side of the Pier. Was it low water for you? I havnt fished a high tide there since earlier in the year so i dont know if its the same.

Yeah we were there low to high. It was quite busy at first but lads were moving from the area to go somwhere else by high tide

ive had that experience on blyth this yr aswell mate. my mate gets snagged up near everytime he fishes the end on the right hand side. When i was trying to get him out of if it definatley felt like a rope or something of them sorts cos there was give in it but always knew it was gonna snap. Its strange cos i never seem to catch it ive tried to tell him ta reel like hell when hes bringin in but its falling on deaf ears at the mo ha ha

As if a few sets of cheap daylites were worth more than lobsters.
I wouldn,t like to be hauling pots with loads of hooks and leads tangled in the ropes that can come over the hauler and hit you in the face.
The problem of snags appears there every year at the back end of the macky season,hundreds of sets of lost daylites build into one big snag.
