Building a Scaffolding Platform to fish off !!!

[JOHN LYNCH]

Glad to see some people have not had a SOH bypass.

[gearoid mc s.]

join SCI and you wont need a scaffold or a boat

and all for low low price of 100e

what happens when u set up on the scaffold and realise you forgot youre bait?!

I thought scaffold was what ye used at SCI

ya conoflex scaffold sport slr!

They dont talk to me unless I use a ggaylex

[JOHN LYNCH]

Gmac, could you imagine if they fixed up the scaffolding off the head of Glin Pier, some fishing off that then.

[Donagh]

All sounds idiotic to me. Why don't they just use the respected polo mint and balloon method to get the bait out there

[scara]

It's A brilliant idea. Just think as soon as it collapse into a pile on the first storm I'll be able to stand on the shore and fish up the side. Lovely fish holding feature.

Check this out. I witnessed lots of guys doing this in SW Australia. It was effective when trying to access the outer part of shallow reefs. Still reckon you dont need to go to those lengths to get good fishing in Kerry!

do you fall out your window when you iron your curtains too?

[JOHN LYNCH]

That makes the scaffolding idea look good What is he doing up on that tripod, one slip and you'd be kebabed

[doggie3131]

i see a couple of problems
1 scafolding is very shaky even when fastened to a house
2 scaffolding needs a stable ground (what happens when the sand under the scaffold moves away)
3 if the scaffold became unstable and the idiot on top of it fell in the water with planks and poles swirling around into him
4 if tide comes up higher than expected
5 the sea is a evil b*****d that shows no mercy and should not be messed with
6 the power of water in the area could lift the scaffold even with a fat idiot on top

answer = sell scaffold buy a boat and ancor off beach

Deffo a H&S officier

i'm not a health and safety officer i just have some basic cop on but i do have 14 years experience working on scaffolding

It just might put the spot on the map
and make a few pounds when someone passing thinks its a
holy apparition... there looking at when they see some man walking on water

Something like that happened me in Wexford. The first time I went out in a boat from the harbour. I didn't know the sandbars and ran aground. I had to hop out of the boat and pull it off the bar. I was about 3 quarters of a mile out at the time. When I got back into the harbour, a bloke told me from the Quay, I looked like Jesus Christ, walking on water pulling a boat.

Craziest fishing vid i have seen for awhile, lucky he wasnt swept away!!

If u walked down 2 ur local beach and seen that u would be fit 2 put the guy in a straight jacket and into a white padded cell, lol..!

[nh23]

good luck. sounds mad but would be some spot

[Cormdogg]

Sounds dangerous and illegal, you'd be better off building your own pier. Pity we dont have any of those long stilt piers like they have on the English East coast like brighton or blackpool, you can pay to fish off them at night.
