I never park in the public car park,,,,,,,,go on past it towards Roadstone and you can park down the end close to your fishing spot and see your vehicle between the gaps in the boulders :wink:

Unfortunately this seems to be going on all round the country. Many locations don't have spots to park near the fishing marks and what should be a relaxing day fishing is now becoming an anxious day worrying about the car. It is also not unique to the sea shore as it is happening at lakes and rivers as well.

its not only your property that's in danger
but your person
was fishing the coal harbor at nite behind the old ice house
two lads came down the pier breaking every car window with an iron bar and a hammer as they went
i was the last car parked
they seen me a came strait for me
only saving grace i had my staffie with me
they didnt see the dog
but when she let out a growl they did and stopped them in their tracks
god only knows if i hadnt got the dog with me
dont tend to fish on my own these days
and defo not a nite
some bad feckers out there stay safe
