Thanks Psy. Its very true:- safety always first.  Rather go in a group if the desire arises to test this spots and let someone drop you and collect at pre-arranged time.

I actually have an old skedonk that even the most hardy/desperate of thieves will feel shy to steal from. so i drive down there and have never had problems. However some other schaapkoppers have had their cars broken into.

 Cormorant Lost his rod  when the surf came up to claim it's life - we were More than 40 Feet above it , and the Wall's that Bashed onto the front line were double-cab swallowers with the tail gate Open and you hanging from it - so we're Talkin 5.8M plus , with a tail-wind to juussst push it over the Edge , Making it some of the nastiest swell i have Ever seen in such sunny weather ..

 

i Kid you Not when i say it was a Bad day for fishing .

I got soaked off Verleeklip as well Later That afternoon , determined to release my sinker from the bricks .

 and Let me Tell you , i Went out straight onto the point  as , compared to the Morning's Thumpers we'd Faced , the Big swell at Verlee felt like light rain in the amazon ..

Omo , anyone ?

Ag nee K@#, being washed from your feet by the see can spoil any fishing trip; donating expensive tackle to Neptune is enough to really make me think twice before I will replace the tackle.

Stu,

WILDERNESS Tuesday 08th November 2011. Search for missing angler:

At 16h16 on 08th November Wilderness volunteer duty crew were called out following reports of an angler swept off rocks between Herolds Bay and Ballot Bay, near Wilderness.
Our crew launched the sea rescue boat SERENDIPITY and the DISCOVERY rescue runner, and Metro EMS ambulance, a Metro EMS rescue squad, the SA Police Services and ER-24 ambulance service were also called.

On arrival, along a barely accessible part of the coastline, an extensive sea and shore searched commenced for an angler reported to have gone missing after he was swept off rocks while fishing. Another two anglers had managed to get to shore after also being swept off the rocks and both of them have been attended to by Metro EMS paramedics.They are in a stable condition.

No sign of the missing man has been found. A search is continuing. Police divers have been summoned to the scene. It appears, at this stage, that the alarm was raised only quite some time after the incident occurred, because of the barely accessible terrain and lack of cell-phone signal at the site of the incident.

Police are in the process of opening an inquest docket.
