Anglers battle Port of Dover

[@colinbrown.]

Fantastic report. Thanks for your help guys.

[@dewanrahim3430]

Fantastic report. We need our Admiralty pier back for our locals and Anglers from all over the country.

[@Ali-zu1ol]

Fantastic report guys .I was wondering why the Pier was closed for so long now. this is the best Pier to catch mackerel. I have been fishing 30 years. travel all the way from East London and many people come from Birmingham's and other side of the country.hope pier reopen soon!!!

As a boy and young adult I fished the admiralty pier ,then it was free 1977 cut my teeth sea fishing there,this is a great loss to sea angling in the area I am shocked at this young people need this facility to learn to fish .

[@mickymouse1232]

SO THEY KEEP AN EYE ON FEOPLE FISHING FROM THE LAND -- BUT TAKE NO NOTICE OF BOATS NOT FULL OF FISH - AT DOVER ?

[@tytzup5397]

Same story in Southampton. Locals have virtually no access to the waterfront. Yet we are forced to put up with these enormous vessels obscuring the skyline and belching black smoke 24hrs a day.

[@scallywag999]

Well done folks. Hopefully, this is going to soar now. DHB need looking into from all angles, regarding both financial and legislation apects, especially their behaviour towards disabled anglers and the anglers who wish to fish Dover.

I remember in 1966 fishing the Prince of Wales in a DSAA Junior Competition, listening to the World Cup on me tranie. Recently retired I was looking forward spending time on the Admiralty, reliving my childhood. DHB VERY SAD! Robin Wood.

How the hell did the British end up with a massive empire?

[@kiz7066]

Really good report so interesting about the marina 😱

[@COIcultist]

Ignore the locals and know better. What could possibly go wrong. If I didn't think it was corrupt from word go, Bradford's transport museum what a fuck up!

[@johnedwards4176]

Disgusting behaviour from the people that should be serving the community .

[@portcullis5622]

I wonder,🤔 who was the genius that approved the useless, very expensive marina development, ignoring the advice of local, experienced sailors? I hope they were held to account.

[@MKChase-uj9vx]

Slow protest and lots of noise and banners etc. That'll cause problems for the cruise companies and for the harbour 👍 Lol... the French wouldn't put up with it would they... the moment they get mucked about they block everything... maybe we should follow their lead.

[@yetiwheeler7972]

Some good Scuba Diving off of that pier.. Just not passed the steps.

Normal, discount auld local knowledge bloody disgrace shame on them freedom 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@johnvaleanbaily4859]

Why should they ban fishing... what a load of fascists.

[@grahamunderwood9353]

Slow moving traffic protest for a year should do it

[@davidsimpson2685]

They will never have a go at fishermen or anglers .That's what I heard when the hunting ban was being debated Especially of fishermen .When we the hunting Fraternity asked them to stand with us a lot of them said i don't agree with hunting with dogs it doesn't concern us . You know what they say divide and conquer l as a hunter with dogs will stand by the shooters and fishermen it's a pity they didn't stand with us now look what's happening there coming after you.

Moaning about people who are persecuted the same way you are won't help either of you

@@aborourke1969 I'm not moaning all I'm saying is what comes around goes around.

[@barryroberts2196]

Smacks of another money making exercise to me. Anglers can not pay what Cruise liners can, simple. Hope the local lads can let the Harbour Authority what they thing of them !!!!

Get rid of the board vote new ones in your in control you are the board (localls

[@pjcollins1885]

Where will the hoards of mackerill bashers go catching 100 plus flapping about on that pier not dispatching them!!!

[@chrish9164]

Line caught fish sounds pretty sustainable to me. Sounds great!

[@pjcollins1885]

@@chrish9164 not when they dont take all what they caught and leave them on top of the jetty or pier like ive seen lots of times cos they catch too many catch and take what you need not them !!!

[@chrish9164]

pj collins - don't forget that mackerel is probably the number one bait, that people use to catch other fish - so it doesnt always mean they caught them. Nevertheless, I agree with you that anyone leaving ANYTHING behind is inexcusable. I just think, that fishing is a popular, sustainable, wholesome hobby. I don't Fish much myself.... but the memories I have as a child of catching my first string of mackerel on feathers - are golden... and I cherish those memories of my childhood. We should have MORE people fishing.... and LESS factory ships out there raping and pillaging the oceans. But fishermen should be decent in their actions, and mindful of rubbish, and behaviour - like anyone should... anywhere.

[@pjcollins1885]

@@chrish9164 that is the reason i go there is to catch for bait i was going there 2 times a year i have a boat,been fishing on there 20 odd years and great memories as a kid when my dad took me there,just sad to see how its changed over the years,and i agree rod and line is best way to fish

[@chrish9164]

pj collins - agree entirely with you pj. I've never been to that pier... so it's a pity that what your saying about unscrupulous people, ruining the image for everyone else. The sad thing is though, that the port authorities, probably care less about that... and more about business. Even though I'm from a totally different part of the country... I'll be watching this story develop with interest. Kind Regards!
