Last Night at the Proms

[watersedge]

4 of us fishing last night in 20 yard stretch quite happily.
Van pulls in and they set up behind and began casting straight over our heads.
Once upon a time anglers had respect for the space of others ... my mate got so ****ed off he packed in straight away.

Cheers lads ...

Bad crack mate, as an ex freshwater angler I am amazed how close sea anglers fish together. I make a point of asking if it's OK to get in if I am within 10 yards of any anglers already set up. There's plenty of coastline like.

Had the same issue the other night down the walkway. 30yds of clear space to my left to the next lad fishing and some berk plonked himself and his mate down 5yds to my right.... I did however find it amusing that they were casting about 20yds, got snagged almost every cast and caught nowt whilst I had a fish most casts! That's karma for ya

Bad crack.

Happened to me on the Hall Beach many years ago - fishing by myself and three lads cast from the prom over me to try to force me to move. Tossers. Cut the line of the one right over me and ended up in a fight.

As an aside I was at Marsden on Sunday on the cliffs above the first bay waiting for the match to start, a kid actually walked along the beach and set up under me. I am sure he saw me because he looked straight up as he was walking along. He shifted as soon as the match started no doubt complaining about match anglers, but to be fair he only had another 10 minutes before he got chased off by the advancing tide anyway.

I find today there are a lot of anglers both sea and fresh water that have no manners or respect.
say you go on the walk way or the pier or even the beach and some one is already in your favourite spot fishing don't just push in.
its just courtesy to ask is it ok to fish next to you.
getting a flie hook in the back of your head is not good thing,
but getting a 6 oz sinker in the head could be fatal.
at times I think some of the so called anglers visit the walk way with there radios blasting and booze and leaving rubbish at night have no respect for the venue or the reisdents that live there.
not all anglers that fish this venue fall into that category.
only a minority

I think this has happened to most of us, 2 incidences come to mind for me personally.

3 tripods on the end of the Heugh (and one off the top) group of young lads set up their tripods directly behind the other 3, one being me, and then cast over the top. We had initially assumed they were just setting up behind us for some reason to fish off the south side but when they cast over...Grave mistake as "gruff" was fishing that day and he literally cut the lines and told them to get off the pier in very blunt terms and naturally they s..t themselves and went - how pointless and stupid for those lads, as if anyone could fish with 6 lines off the end of the Heugh.

The other one was macky bashing down Horden, the day I was king of the mackerel nobody else could catch them but me...and this was on a rammed beach with well over 100 people. The reason was just simply they were a long way out that day and the amateurs could not reach them - a lad walked directly in front of me in the surf whilst I was spinning and began to chuck and by directly in front of me I mean just that. This was after I had been asked to swap rods and trace by others - clearly it was absolutely nothing to do with their 30 yard at best chucks and must have been that exact 10 feet of surf I occupied

Don't get me wrong there are some smashing lads on Hendon Promenade at the part where the cars can turn ... had been talking to Dennis who is fighting cancer and a friend of his who had a springer spaniel ... lovely blokes oh and the two lads beside us were brothers crack was brilliant about racing etc. then a white transit van pulled behind us and set up a rod stand directly in front of my car boot where incidently we were sat watching the rods. Cast out straight over the top and maybe a bit to the left as their excuse ... a ledger could have hit either of us not that they gave one jot. Blamed me when going back to rebait for catching his line with the top of my rod but said he didn't want an argument ... now being 'strangers' from Consett and having only fished for an hour and a half and only come to fish not to fight we just wrapped up and went home ... won't be back despite the good lads

Boils my fkin **** when the *******s do that, had it done to me and my mate a few times. I know no one owns any part of the prom or fishing spots, but some people just think they own the place. I was once on the top of roker pier and the gap between my mate and me was no more than 18 inches and this little fk witt just come up and hoyed his box in between us and set up, then casted over my mate, he caught a fish first cast aswell lol
I go down the prom or anywhere else and someones where I would like to fish or it's full. I fook off simples, because I know right from wrong. *******s.
