Drives you up the wall mate eh.

 

[alan]

strange thing was they put it in carrier bags but could\'nt work out the next bit

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

They must have forgotten to throw it over the railings :casstet:

 

[MT]

wonder if it might be worth getting some signs up to encorage people to become more responsible?


then again they ll prob use them as fire lighters.

well done anyway alan better than turning a blind eye and loosing yet another easy access fishing spot due to mindless inconsiderate idoits! :casstet:

 

[MT]

ps did you catch out alan and any mackerel in yet?

 

[alan]

Had a few colies but no Mackerel,loads of weed and the sea looked quite lumpy off shore,couple of lads said there was Mackerel caught on Saturday but I spoke to a another lad who is often down and said there was nowt caught over the weekend !

Gets right on my nerves this. I was fishing Roker Pier on Sunday and all of a sudden the sea just seemed to fill up with about a crate of empty cans. If they can carry a full crate on why cant they carry an empty one back off? Surely it\'s a lot lighter. I vote for CCTV on the piers and on the spot fines for rubbish dumpers. Never going to happen as we\'ll end up getting barred from fishing them before they spend money doing things about it.

this i a subject which pisses me off time and time again and has been brought up on here a lot. there have been posters put up in the past and a group went out cleaning some time ago if i am correct. its never gonna stop though there will allways be fluffing winkers who dont care about the countryside, coast and even our streets. on my local streets i will say something but if i\'m on me own on blyth pier for example unless i was with some big mates its not worth saying anything
because you will get abuse back at you :casstet: :casstet: .

all i do is pick up what rubbish i find and put in my box and take it to the bins afterwards. i know its not mine but if it keeps the place a little cleaner and safer for ourselves and wildlife then thats ok by me. at the moment thats unfortunately all we can all do if we care about were we fish and live.

Well said Mark mate i agree 100%,i am exactly the same mate

 

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Yes there\'s been loads of posts on this subject over the years .... not only does it get some venues closed to anglers but it gives us a bad name .

 

[marksworld]

like i said all we can do to help is to pick other peoples rubbish up when its left behind, anoying i know but if it keeps areas open for the the good tidy anglers thats a good thing


cheers

[MT]

you may shame others to do the same as well mark

 

[alan]

I would\'nt hold your breath mate

 

[Tompa]

Just like to say thanks for picking up me rubbish lads I couldn\'t be bothered to carry it meself





Obvoiusly I\'m joking but have seen this done many times..... finish fishing take newspaper worm was wrapped in scrumple it up and chuck it in the corner then walk away!!!!!
WHY? Is a piece of paper really that heavy!!! Or are the people that do it just to damn weak to carry it to the bin?
Like mogthemackem say\'s surely it\'s lighter on the way back it\'s a piece of empty newspaper for fecks sake!!!!!!!

 

[marksworld]

the only thing that i chuck away is unused bait the paper goes in the bin and so does that stuff they put the rag in. used line and riggs taken home line burnt or cut hooks cut up with wire clippers my theory being that if you dont cut the line and just chuck it in the bin it will end up at landfill where the sea gulls and scavengers hang out again causing hurt or death to wildlife. i am not a boring old fart but care a lot about where i live, we are very lucky in the N.E. to have such a wonderfull coastline and countryside. i for one want to keep it that way


cheers
