I feel your mate, thats terrible.

[mick dunn]

Sounds like suicide if he jumped in.

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Mick as Davy says ,I feel for your mate , what a thing to have to be involved in.

[mickcave83]

I take it wasn't an angler then...?

no paul it wasnt m8

[mickcave83]

been to see him 2nite, just a little shocked thats all, reckons the man didnt stand a chance in that sea, for the man who asked if its been fishing, he had about 5codling between 2 to 3lb and lost a good one on the lift

[gazzawill]

i bet your mate feels shocked
thoughts go out to friends and family of the man

[JediX]

accident or not, just shows it can happen to anyone, shame really. Tides are strong in a lot of area's wether you can swim good or not.

Do they council actualy check the saftey of the piers? or are they just another tax burden thats left un-noticed.

[rod-the-cod]

a m8 of mine was there said a bloke just walked along then just jumped over the barrier

Sad news whether its suicide or not,not alot you can do if someone wants to do that,i feel sorry for there family.
