Disgusted at St Abbs

[jarrowviking]

The first time I've visited St Abbs this summer and was confronted by this sickening sight, loads of small coalies and mackerel heads just dumped and left to rot on the rocks by some idiots. The smell was terrible, not only that the whole mark that I've fished from for over 20 years was a disgrace, plastic, cans of polish beer, line, hooks, rigs, dirty rags all over the place, disgusting!


Sad to see, I can't believe it......I'm so disheartened and sick to the stomach, a place I love and don't know if I'll ever be back now. I've never seen such a mess here before, the tinsel tossers have struck again and I've never been so embarrassed to say I'm a sea angler.


Took me ages to clean up, gutted lads, gutted!!!

If you carry it there, carry it back....don't let the tinsel tossers win!

Awful mate, but good on you for cleaning up well done.

There will always be people like this unfortunately, might have 100 responsible anglers visit the mark but just takes a few prats to ruin it all.
To be honest I do not see a problem gutting/filleting the fish at a mark but do not leaving the guts and heads lying about.

Was similar up at the MoG a few weeks back mate, there was even a human sh!te with white carrier bag used for roll bang on a popular spot.

I was the same with balcary point there's human **** & toilet roll in almost every corner
Empty tin cans, rig packets, old rigs & rusty hooks
And people wonder (including me) why the locals hate people fishing their spot

I had to clean up after someone at Yellow Craig (Coldingham) last week. This wasn't the bashers either - dozens of little plastic baggies strewn all over the rocks at deep gut and the lagoon. Previously had mussel in them. Just take one or two messy anglers to mess up a beautiful spot and give everyone a bad name.

I was seething cleaning up others mess, not what I go out for!!!

 

[jarrowviking]

Totally agree Berwick ..don't know how many of these type posts I've read over the years ...thinhs seem to get worse though not better!

Terrible sight,never known anything like it

Clearly they are watching catch reports on forums, The forum should (especially catch reports)be made private and only viewable to active members in my opinion

Polish beer? Lots of what look like undersized fish? Sound foreign to me.

Deffo foreign. One of them is polish and called Nikoli and the other one is Russian and called Boris. Ive seen them down there a few times and tried to educate them about fish sizes etc. but as soon as your back is turned the undersize ones are in there bags. Maybie a brick through there car window next time will put them off.

HA ha but don't get them started Well done to the member who cleaned up after them it's a very nice place up there but if this keeps going on the national trust will stop us from getting there

I'll second that used to love going to Dunstanburgh Castle would fish it throughout the year. Then just got totally disheartened due to the amount of rubbish being left used to fill 3 or 4 carry bags every trip so stopped visiting keep telling myself I'll have to have a trip up but would I be happy with what I found I doubt it very much. Always wondered why the National Trust and English Heritage didn't place a ban on anglers from using there property to gain access to the area.
