[codseeker]

honestly mate a carnt see him getting most back rod and reel is the best chance as a lot can be washed up ,rest can get pushed into rocks gaps etc ,but best of luck mate but dont go out spending daft money on new gear use what ya got at the moment or use daves and let him watch cos he doesnt catch nowt anyways lol

jesus scott, you have been very lucky there, infact more than lucky, im hopefully down there 2nite if the conditions are ok, i'll give you a shout if i get any of your gear m8 or see any1 bringing any gear in

Glad your OK Mate. It's not a nice thing to write but it's odds on that an angler will be lost this season somewhere in the UK. Lets hope it's not one of us. The temptation will always there to get on a mark thats a bit risky or "one last cast" as the waves start coming over.
Before I go onto a mark I take couple of minutes to watch the sea, think about where I can get off and how long I've got before I need to get off, a few times it's made me change my mind & head somewhere else.
Hope this is the last close call we have on here this season.

Bloody hell mate!!! Glad your ok and hope you do get some of your gear back. At the end of the day tho' your still amongst us and that's more important than any fishing rod!!

Anyway once again glad your ok mate and stay safe.


Cheers
Tony

Lucky escape scott. I was fishing Steetly pier on friday night and the waves were actually crashing down on us from above. I didn't feel in any danger though although there's a huge hole in the pier which we could have been swept in to if there was a wave twice their size. I remember a rogue wave gitting us at craster and when it came up the rocks up to my waist I just stood planted as didn't want to move either foot to keep a tighter hold. I was ok and so was my gear but the rest of the lads all got gear swept away. The thought that were going through my head at the time would have been similar to yours though. Not good at all. I'm a lot more aware now to say the least

[eddie t]

thank god you are ok scott. it happened to me on the tanks but i never lost my gear it just washed me and me gear along the wall never fish there since and that was 5 years ago.

[mick dunn]

Pleased your ok Scott. The nearest i have been to going in was when i was a young lad fishing off Middleton over 30 years ago. The end used to be bevelled. I was handballing a fish in for a guy and slipped on the bevell. I jumped back like a cat on a hot tin roof. It was a dark winters night-long before we had floatation suits. If i,d gone in it would have been curtains.
I have only fished Hendon once and we were near the place where some flowers were tied onto the railing by the ramp. Think a couple of kids died there couple of years ago.
I do not know where pensioners spot is - has anyone a photo-so i know to stay away.
I would invest in a floaty suit-warm as toast-waterproof and well you never know it might one day pay for itself. I have a sundridge cost £60 e-bay.

Mick.

Pleased you're ok Scott.

I've fished Pensioners many a time in big seas and it is a scary place. Like has said on here before, there is literally nowhere to run.

Hope you get back out soon mate.
