With the Alderney Angling Festival fast approaching, the Harbour Authority would like to
provide anglers with some useful information regarding the conditions for use of the
Harbour facility during the week of the festival.
Commercial Quay Access
The commercial quay will be open to anglers outside of the standard commercial hours
which are shown below:
- Monday – Thursday: 0800-1700
- Friday: 0800-1400
- Wednesday evening: Contact the Harbour Office for details of quay closure during scheduled cargo discharge between 1700 – 0000.
- Weekend Quay Open
Removal of crab and lobster pots from the Breakwater area
The Admiralty Breakwater is a popular location for shore anglers and therefore it is
requested that all pots are removed from the areas surrounding the breakwater to enable
sufficient space for participants to fish without the risk of fouling their lines.
Personal Safety
To maximise safety whilst fishing, participants are advised to consider the following advice:
- Check the weather forecast and tidal information before choosing a spot to fish.
- Wear a lifejacket or floatation suit whilst angling.
- Avoid fishing alone in remote areas.
- Inform a non-participant of your whereabouts.
- Avoid/vacate the Admiralty Breakwater if waves are overtopping.
Hopefully the above will allow participants to enjoy the festival safely and with minimal
disruption to fishing activity.
Please call Alderney Harbour Authority with any queries on 01481 820070 or in the event of
an emergency call 999.
