Fishing South Parade Pier
WHERE TO GO
Was that real
One warm July night at the end of the pier we baited up our lines. A cold mist came from the south and drifted over us almost telling us something was about to happen.
It was fast, it was furious it was gone.
A slack line now floated to the surface and lifted in the breeze dancing on the water surface as if to mock us.
“Wow did you see that?” Sarah almost whispered in disappointment.
The beauty of her face reflecting the shimmer of the droplets of sea mist on it.
Two seconds of our lives that will be remembered for years.
Something Big
Something Very Very Big
Our imagination grew it even more .
Fishing the pier can be a relaxing time in the hot sun with cold drinks available. The kids and mum can entertain their selves in the arcade or a paddle in the sea.
This pier was part destroyed in a fire during the making of the 60’s Film Tommy
(Warning) For years people have jumped into the sea from structures everywhere in the world. Every year people end up in hospital or worse.
DON’T DO IT
Would you jump from a 20 foot building into a puddle.
Even when the tide is high dangers can lurk in the murky deep water and its not Jaws

Now left to rot.
Come on Portsmouth City Council
Remove the parking meters that no one wants and repair our heritage.
Victoria Pier 1,000’s of adults and children have used this spot for a day out.
It was a brilliant spot for children and parents to spend a day fishing.
2 Worms and a size 16 hook would produce a day out.
Why do our children put on weight and sit in front of a computer ?
