To be honest when you think about how much tackle is worth is surprising it doesn't happen more often considering what scumbags are out there, they probably don't do it that often because you never know either a) how handy the lad is or whether he's got a fishing knife in his pocket.

leegreen 2,180 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 This has gone on for years(in east London anyway). I was especially aware of this when I was in my early teens, this all changed when hairs appeared from my chin, then I quite looked forward to the challenge. Having a terrier was always a help, I can remember collecting a few extras from an unwanted encounter made up for a couple of pay offs a number of years before. Quote Link to post

WILF 47,252 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 The Wraysbury area is pretty bad, loads of chav/p***y types round there. Had them rock up at 3 in the morning when I was fishing Kingmead midweek and all on my lonsome once.....they had stood up on the bank 6 handed earlier that day and eye balled all my kit. Told them to f**k off and was ready and waiting in the wee small hours. Lucky, I was fishing the spit of land by the bridge and they obviously couldnt work out how to get on there, only a narrow ditch seperates it from the main bank but that was enough to put a halt to there plans other wise it could have been emmotional. To put it in perspective, incidents like the one in the link are nasty, but very rare thankfully. Quote Link to post
