Bangersanmash 2,748 Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Was told this morning by a chap fishing on river near me. That other week his pal was on one of local waters doing a few nights. And two lads came trying to take his fishing gear. Lad ended up with a right black eye made a mess of him by all accounts. Scary f***ing times specially when you don't know what there carrying or want an hours kip. Quote Link to post

One of the reason I don't bother fishing the local canal these day and if i do its first light for a few hours as a few older boys like me have been mugged for their tackle usually by druggies who seem to roam up and down the canal from Meadow hall to Rotherham plus gangs of Roma Slovaks though non of the above have never bothered me it's made me feel a bit uncomfortable a few times fishing on my own .

It's shocking our own country men feeling this way. Can't go fishing on their own or can but don't feel comfortable so fucks the day up because your always looking about. 1 Quote Link to post
