This weekends tide times for Torbay has been updated.

My other free wallpaper site has been updated.

I wrote to the letters page of the Herald Express about those buoys right by where everyone fishes. They have never posted one of my letters before but I live in hope. This is what I said:

Princess Pier in Torquay has long been a very popular place to fish. With its railings and easy access it is the safest place for children and the disabled alike to go fishing. Princess pier is by far the most popular fishing spot in Torquay visited by thousands of locals and tourists each year.

Now it is nothing but annoying thanks to the buoys someone has placed along the whole side of the pier. By early evening you’ll see quite a number of floats snagged onto the buoys and if you could go underwater you’d also see a large number of feathers and other bottom fishing tackle. Children and others with difficulties cannot cast with the precision that the pros can but even the pros are getting caught out.

I would love to know what idiot granted them permission to ruin the safest and most popular place to fish in Torquay. With changing tides and currents plus the fish swimming around the ropes as you reel in this is now a place you can guarantee to lose catches and tackle alike. I am simply baffled someone has given them the green light to do this. It is a huge ocean out there so why target the most popular place for shore based fisherman in Torquay?

The last two days I have spoken to a number of other fishermen about this and every single one I spoke to is complaining about it.

Can we PLEASE have some common sense and get rid of them!
