Could have been killed at Low Newton

is that mark accessable at any tide state or does it get cut off, looks a canny mark like and fancy giving it a shot, 30' of water anall.

Bad crack like

Not sure but think it was about half tide, lots of kelp there too and depth varying lots with the use of the fish finder

cheers for info

There are no excuses in my view, the lad casting was out of order. Should have informed the police imho.

Coastguard would have acted on this immediately if there was
An act causing danger to any person at sea

[JUBZ]

alot of rights and wrongs in this situation in my opinion.

Regardless of who was there first I think that when the lad is shore fishing the kayak should be well out of his way.
The lad casting the lead at you was totally out of order and I think it would of been best if both of you came to a quick conclusion as to who is fishing where and probably established boundaries without slagging each other off.

Just my opinion anyway ! Glad nobody got hurt

No need really if the yaker was just on his way past is there? I’d have just waited as any reasonable person would have done surely.

Tbh…otherwise, I’d have probably agreed with others and said you were too close in if had just parked yourself within 100 yards of the angler. I’d have thought the same thing, you got the whole sea lol.

In this circumstance however, you were certainly within your rights and I’d be surprised if the coastguard would have not been interested at the time.

I saw three kids dragged off amble pier for deliberately casting at a boat
The coastguard arrested them alongside the police

[stephie1]

I think you have missed the point. We were actually on our way past the sea is free to everyone and could have either cast short , different direction or waited till we passed

Exactly m8. U are in the right all day long.that angler on the shore who has just turned up doesn't own that bit of water and has no more right to be there than you. I would class it as attempted assault with a deadly weapon.

[Tonygdodds]

Regardless of who was there first there's no excuse what dove of anyone deliberately trying to injure or kill someone
A flying 6oz weight travelling at speed will almost certainly leave you with more than a severe headache
It would be manslaughter with intent
& technically the rod was used as a weapon
So if he was standing with a rifle aimed at you I'm sure the police would be wanting to be involved

You should have got closer loaded up with a string of mackerel feathers & a 12oz pirk
& cast straight into the ****s face teach him a lesson
Tit for tat!!!

[Tonygdodds]

What dove. Should be whatsoever

[BillQuay]

Regardless of who has the fishing rights it cannot be acceptable to cast a lead at someone. This is a weapon and could cause serious damage.
If it could be proved that he deliberately cast at them it is a criminal offence.

What dove. Should be whatsoever

The wonders of predictive text!?

[Tonygdodds]

The wonders of predictive text!?

It does my head in at times

[kayos]

It does my head in at times

I switched it off on day one!

[topbanana]

Why should the lad move if he was thier 1st comp or no comp no excuses for casting at him regardless I would of waited till he baited up and cast out then traced his line and either cut it or pulled his rod and reel in

Couldn't have put it better myself stan ! As for it being a match, tuff sh@t. Why should he move coz of some bellend fishing a match ! 100yrds is plenty far enough away and as already said he could have easily waited for the lad to go past or cast in a different direction, not at him ! As per its a case of massive head match anglers thinking they own the coast and before anyone gets on my case about 'hating' match fishing, I fish matches so lick me bollocks
