Rock fishing

[eddy]

For a long time now I have thought that tethering a rock fisherman with an adjustable surfboard leg rope would be far better than trying to keep him afloat after he gets washed in.

To do this I suggest perhaps any council could engage a contractor to drill 24mm x 30cm holes in appropriate places at a slight angle away from the sea so any fisherman who wanted complete safety could then drop an anchor bolt in it.

Perhaps in the day of start ups this could be one to give someone a job ?

Hold on though the council would have to 100 page minimum study on an Environmental impact statement then do a local community consultation and probably objections from some green group who is located 30 kilometers away. Great idea but far too common sense for the government we face now day.

If they were tethered to the rocks, wouldn't they get thrown against the rocks if waves knocked them off their feet?

Probably better than being thrown against rocks while floating around in the water.

But Eddy, they're the ones that take risk to fish in said areas.

I suppose you are right there is an element of bravado there because I saw a video of guys with waves around their waist laughing but also I have seen guys on TV rock fishing with a harness attached to a rope in a dangerous place.
