Warning Cambois Pier!

[KeithB]

Copied from John\'s site:



Today Sunday 22nd January whilst training at the lifeboat station our crew witnessed 3 fishermen being arrested for being on Cambios peir, it seems that the police are now arresting anyone found on the pier, this has been heard in the past that they were considering it, but it now looks like they are going ahead with it.

My warning do not go onto the pier or you will possibly be arrested.

Just wanted to warn everyone of this before it happens.

has the pier got gates on that are locked or can you just walk on to it

[willywetegg]

It is gated in several places but bars have been removed to get through Graham.

I\'ve been told that they\'re now adopting the same approach on the South Pier at Sunderland. They used ot just ask you to leave.

ive also heard this as well mate , im from blyth and also heard that a few anglers have had there gear confiscated off them , not sure if theres any truth about the gear but have heard that they get arrested for tresspassing

[codthumper]

i,ve also heard this --gear confiscated also your car --i was told they treat it as the same as poaching

[petepj]

i didnt think they were allowed to take your gear off you , but then again anything is possible where it comes to the law, maybe the police are trying to get a collection of fishing gear for to start there own club LOL

[codthumper]

the place i heard about was hendon --i know it happen a couple of times at t/mouth a few years ago but ithink they got it back

Shame or what. Fished it years ago. And i mean it \"years ago\"ie back in 1963/4 you know the days when a ferry operated between the saithes My old man being a **** pot used to make for the Seven Stars pub.

Used to cast out with the old Scarborough outfitoff the Seven Stars jetty,peg the old bell to the end then used to put the world to rights in the bar with a young Snatcher getting hooked on the fumes

Those were the days

i can see why they are stopping fishermen from going on there cos in all honestly it is a dangerous place to fish , beams missing, the railings falling apart to the part where they are just crumbling away , but there is good bags of fish to be had off there , but is any fish worth it , not to mention its a right pig of a walk as well

There was a lad arrested a few weeks ago and had his gear taken off him,I was told about it in the local tackle shop shortly after it happened plus Fishfinder Paul left a post regarding this at the time

[Hiram.A.Biff]

Are there any warnings re conficscation? Its over twenty years since I fished off Cambois pier, It was a bloody Dangerous place then.

sometime before the 6th of January

[alan]

Not sure Paul but I seen a lad going along lastnight he more or less walked straight through the gates so its either open or a canny hole in it

[willywetegg]

Lmfao. This was one of the reasons that a mark X was posted a few weeks ago.

We were slated by a few people that did not read enough post\'s on NESA. If those post\'s had been read the likes of Cooky would have kept his big mouth shut.

Do not fish on Cambois pier, if you do you could end up in a lot of trouble. That is what we were trying to say at the time.

Also if you do not know how to get on, it can be VERY dangerous.
