PAKA Safe Fishing Guide

'During this summer there have been a number of tragic deaths around our coast line so I thought it would be prudent to put out a reminder of all precautions we should take when angling'.  Alan Duthie PAKA Chairman.

  1. Always try and fish with others
  2. Always let someone know where you are going and your expected time of return
  3. Keep a mobile phone with you fully charged
  4. Check the weather forecast before you go
  5. Know the area you are fishing it is always a good idea to visit the area at low tide
  6. If fishing night tides always have a backup head torch
  7. Keep your eyes open for hazards
  8. Never wade above knee height (4 bathers have drowned this year because of rip tides they were all in shallow water)
  9. Wading above knee height will invalidate your insurance cover
  10. Wear suitable clothing and footwear
  11. If you see someone in trouble call the coastguard 999 don’t endanger yourself if the situation requires your help get other beach users to back you up
