I think you may be wasting your time typing that. The people who foul the place up like that are not likely to be visiting a fishing forum. Apart from to say "wens the makki in????????"

Yes your right and I agree with you,it makes me sick to see our piers and beaches covered in anglers discards.
Problem is it's not just kids rubbishing it's older anglers as well.
But how do you stop it,I don't know.
here we go again 100 post thread on a sweet rapperand i didnt mean the beatboxer type
It's an open forum ! Why remark if you have seen this thread come up many times before ? When it's my local pier it's f@@ks me off like stupid remarks

Same topic but a different slant.
I live in a small rural village called Langley park,its a ex mining village and a nice place to live(in my opinion)
This year I've noticed a crowd of people walking thru the village picking up litter,this happens quite regular sometimes 3 or four times a week.
These people even walk out of the village along a green belt some one and half miles filling black bags with rubbish.
Speaking to them they are all local working people trying to keep there village clean.
And yes I do my bit outside my house and clean up the grass area along the road.
There approach to litter is "we cant stop them but we can beat them"

Harry, those people are convicts on community service! haha.
Seriously though, no matter how many posts are put on here it will never change coz the guys on here tend to be the responsible ones. I think most of us have picked up a bagful of other peoples crap at some point but dont worry... the weather will soon be changing and the summer litter louts will hibernate again and we can have our nice piers and beachs back to ourselves

load of rubbish, it will be just the same, if not worse in the winter, full every nigh t of "proper" (ha ha) anglers dumping the same crap.

If so, you are painting all anglers with the same brush, thats what it looks like
to me you are saying.
Worse in the winter ??!?! Makky spinner wrappers dead makky and all other associated spinning sh@te !!
I'm on there alot if conditions are good in the winter and it's nowhere near as bad .. Think again

The state of the shoreline in the summer in general is a disgrace. It's not just people fishing, the beaches are covered in litter. I have seen the lads cleaning the beaches in the morning, each filling numerous black bags.
Is it lack of education? It shouldn't be, there are lots of signs about littering and plenty bins. Seems it must be pure laziness

Agreed mate I've done it a few times down my end but your fighting a loosing battle but it has to be done as the local council wont do a thing about it.

better in my finger than me dogs or any other animal or kiddy
