Filthy b*****d Fishermen

[shepp 2,285]

If you need a shit whilst your out what else you supposed to do? I'm not gonna be packing up for that Mind you If It's a river, another log floating downstream wouldn't look too suspect

 

I'm talking about leaving the shit the middle of the area where they and the next person are fishing.

Another thing i noticed, it's always fosters cans littering the place.

If you need to go take a shovel and burry it!

On the subject of al fresco shitting...!

 

If you've got to go, you've got to go, but FFS do it somewhere where it's not going to stand out like an evil chocolate Mr Whippy....

 

 

lol evil chocolate mr whippy , that make me laugh out loud

[WILF 47,503]

Lol Mal........so if its a shit hole when they arrive they leave it a shit hole.....

 

Not strickly true Ko, I was a baliff on some local lakes.......a day ticket and a private syndicate, I got that sick of dealing with wankers every day that I gave it up.

 

Fishing and dogs is that full of dumb f*cks that it makes you cry...........I was absolutely zero tolerance on these idiots and as you can imagine it got fairly emmotional when you lifted the ticket of some meat head who has just paid £175 for it the day before!!

But no matter what you did or how hardline you were the dicks would just keep comming back..........different faces, same mentality mate.

 

It gets you down!

Fosters shit beer in a shit environment how appropiate.

I have a shit before I go.

I'm an adult, I can control my bowels....usually

 

You can't control the shit that you write though.

 

Anyone with a bowel disorder shouldn't go fishing then, I have a friend with crohns, that goes fishing, can make it quite difficult for him sometimes.

 

If it's that bad you can work round it without 'leaving the evidence', or is that too difficult for an 'Essex Boy'?

[mushroom 13,227]

you carry it in you carry it out!!! :yes:

except the turd just do it where it aint visable unless a labour mp lives close by then just do it on his/her lawn dont get caught

Hardly boys anymore, where I was born and decided to live doesn't have any bearing to the subject in hand.

 

When I lived in London, fished the Thames on occassions, not exactly quiet, mainly full of runners, enough people to create a mess.

Not just the Thames though, the Trents littered with shit and beer cans in the right/wrong places! Al the so called popular spots frequented by the new generation of barbel angler or carbler as there now called, never met a nigger bunch of w**kers in my life they should all bugger off back to the ponds and leave the rivers to us that care!

 

 

Feel better after that rant!

[poacher3161 1,766]

Its a topic that makes my blood boil seeing shit ie dead bait packets empty beer cans ect.So it was a refreshing change [bANNED TEXT] we went to fish the A1 pits and the baillif told us if you leave any rubbish you will be banned for life he told us he had banned a lot of lads night fishing for carp after a few trips he trusted us to lock the gate with the combination.Be better if a lot more bailifs were like him.atvb

It would be nice to see a baliff and some of the stretches i fish, if they were around to dish out bans i think there would be fewer rubbish problems on the banks.

[Squirrel_Basher 17,100]

Leaving litter is beyond me totally .Take nothing but photo's ,leave nothing but footsteps is the old adage around us and it works .

[fin and fur 2]

If you need to go when fishing, or for that matter whilst engaged in any outdoor activity then the decent thing to do is bury it.

 

Many years back i used to climb and the advice to climbers was always to smear the offending log over a rock, which would allow it to degrade faster, however the sight would be enough to disgust most people in the short term so i always favoured the burying option.

 

As for the other, more general litter there is no excuse, it always surprises me that people will carry weighty tins and bags full of food etc into the countryside, consume the food, and then fail to take the packaging home with them even though it is now lighter sans contents.

[fin and fur 2]

you carry it in you carry it out!!! :yes:

I like that, i wonder if we will see an MP's expenses claim fielded for specialist removal of the offending article.

[johnnyboy28 1]

I help run a syndicate in Essex so litter is not too much a problem because the members know

its an instant ban.

 

AS FOR LONDON

Just take a look at what this goverment has allowed to live there and that will explain all

[EskdaleHawks 8]

I don't fish but I have been volunteering for the National Trust as part of a countryside course at college.

Well they have a stretch of the Thames where they maintain the swims and charge people to fish there at day rate.

Yesterday I decided to collect litter and on and around the swims were littered with empty beer cans, disposible BBQ's, wrappers of all descriptions.

One particularly filthy wart on the backside of humanity had left a shit there.

I really can't get my head around how someone would want to spend some time with nature then leave it like a slum, they must have no respect for themselves or there surroundings.

Is this a common problem with fishermen?

Shepp, When I was a lad just starting out with fishing, I was taught to take ALL my litter home with me and had it drummed in to me what the consequences of my actions would have on the local wild life if I failed to do so. To this day I don't drop litter, And when fishing take home all my discarded line. It's not just anglers who are to blame. Where I live there is a big problem with Townies coming to a beautiful river gorge to jump off the bridge and "play" on a rope swing suspended over the water. When it is realy hot weather they can be clearly heard upto half a mile away apparently enjoying themselves. If you go down to the river after they have been it is like a bomb site! Litter can be found everywhere, beer cans, plastic bags, throw away barbacues etc. I get so annoyed when I see this. I often wonder what their reaction would be if us country folk went and did the same in their front/back gardens? Please be aware that just because you find all manner of things around where anglers frequent it may not be them that are responsable for the litter that you have to pick up!
