The net's are so close to the shoreline & the pier, I have to agree it's a disgrace, the boat fisherman have the whole sea to fish in yet, they decide to drop net's so close in that they are taking all the fish & sport away from us humble shore & pier fisherman, no wonder we are not catching as much these days.

I know it can be frustrating when he comes and drops his net right in front of you but he isn't after your Mackerel at all lads. It costs him a hell of a lot of money to drop his net there every year and as long as he does'nt fix one end to the pier he is fully legal.

There was a lot of trouble a few years ago and idiots on the pier were throwing lead weights at him. If you see any problems keep well away as he could quite easily recognise you again and point you out even if you were'nt doing anything wrong, if there are a lot of people about it is easy to get mixed up with faces and he could just say, "He was there" and point at you.

I think most people know why he is there now and just avoid the parts of the pier where he drops his nets. I have a much bigger problem with the kind people that drop their pots well within casting distance during the winter months making the end of the pier practically unfishable.

Have a feeling that it is the salmon fisherman you are talking about, if it is unfortunately he is entitled to put his nets there.

Salmon nets arnt shot anywhere near the pier........

Yep, it's the salmon/sea trout nets, he's there around this time of year every year. Annoying but unfortunately legal. If he's a reasonable distance off then they don't seem to cause much bother for the mackeral fishing, when they're as close as they've been of late though they're a bit frustating if you're chucking anything other than a spinner because they're in casting range.

megmoss, if you go to Blyth pier now you will see them, as Lee says they are there every year for a few weeks.

Can't comment on Blyth Pier but you might be suprised at how close to the shore Salmon & Sea Trout will run, I've seen them caught within 20 yards.

[Charlie_Thompson]

He's also netting Salmon, which is pretty much like hunting Panda bears.

I must admit, he is not tying off on the pier, so at the end of the day he is well within his rights to do as he is doing, he is not breaking any laws, I know he is shooting his nets very close to the pier, but he also might be thinking, look at all those on the pier trying for macky, when at most time's there is only the odd angler having a bash, (it's a case of 6 of 1 & half a dozen of the other !! )
