This is really only for boat anglers that fish between the Nab Tower and Bembridge. The eastern approach channel to Portsmouth and the Solent is clearly marked running north and to the eastern side of the Tower. Many small boats fish the banks and other features either side of the channel keeping well clear of large ships passing, although we do see ferries avoiding the main channel and cutting close to Bembridge Ledge on occasion. However last Sunday's tide encouraged a small convoy of much larger ships to cut between the Nab and the Island, passing very close to many small boats anchored there. The sight of one of those huge car delivery ships approaching while you were happily fishing for cod in what you thought was a safe place, could be seriously worrying.
I hope it didn't spoil that little boat's day.
