This was posted by John Rawlinson on cast n catcplease read it so you all know the rules.


Following the negotiations with Mersey Docks and Harbour Co. we are now allowed to fish Seaforth rocks again. HOWEVER this is only for POLSAF pass holders following the attached procedure.
Print out the procedure, sign and date it and keep it with your pass. If you are a member of an affiliated club give a copy of the signed procedure to your club POLSAF rep. For individual anglers please reply to this post with your name and pass number.
The biggest concern is car parking therefore please minimise the number of cars by ferrying your party to the venue if at all possible.


SEAFORTH ROCKS.

Seaforth rocks can be a very productive area for fishing, however it can also be potentially very dangerous. Heavy traffic, large vehicles and plant are in constant use on the roadways.
The following procedure to be followed forms part of the terms and conditions for POLSAF pass issue.

The venue is available only to POLSAF pass holders who have read and agreed to these terms and conditions.
Fishing is permitted from the T junction southwards to the Helipad. Parking is strictly at the Helipad end only, cars parked on the road will result in the owners pass being withdrawn. There is no vehicular access north from the T junction. Access to the rocks is via the concrete walkway along the edge of the rocks. Anglers are instructed not to walk along the road. High visibility clothing to be worn.
Anglers should notify the gatehouse they intend to fish Seaforth rocks on entering the dock estate.

Persons fishing this venue do so entirely at their own risk. Neither POLSAF, the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company, or Peel Holdings may be held to account for any incident arising from members fishing this venue.
Single person fishing is strictly prohibited. Any member found fishing alone will have their pass withdrawn.
Adequate clothing, particularly footwear, must be worn as you must traverse slippery rocks. The venue is not floodlit you will need adequate lighting.
Work in pairs to get down to your chosen location. Choose a safe route.
Be aware of the ingress of the tide and move to higher ground as the tide rises.
In the event someone slips into the water or is soaked by waves leave immediately to prevent hypothermia.
One of the party must have a mobile phone to summon help if required 949 1212 will bring help from port police.
Members with medical conditions should consider the climbing aspect of this venue before attempting to fish.
At all times members should consider their own and others safety. Strong winds and driving rain would make the venue more dangerous, therefore be prepared to leave rather than tempt an accident.

In extreme weather conditions the venue may be closed, this is at the discretion of port police. Anglers will, at all times, comply with instructions given to them by MDHCo, Port Police and POLSAF bailiffs.
I have read and understood these terms and conditions and agree to be bound by them.
