its just a fact of life mate now not a lot you can do nobody wants to no and when you tell the bailiffs nothing happens apart from tackling them yourself but then your chancing it

It has just happened in the last 15 years when everyone has become "a pike angler". Back then nobody fished for pike they were 'killers of children' and 'alsatain eaters'. Now evrybody and thier dog has become a predator fisherman and with it they have brought with them the inability to unhook and handle fish, poor choices of tackle and RUBBISH..... These poeple dont care when they leave half of asda on the bank. I think of the excellent waters that you had to flatten a peg to get into fish that we are now no longer allowed to fish because 'pikers' have cut down trees, burnt fences and left such a mess farmers have said nomore. An untapped water these days is rarety. Gone are the days when you told your mate about a twenty you had from such a place cause you go to fish it a couple of weeks later and there is either 15 other people fishing it or the farmer has stopped evryone from fishing it cause 'fishermen were down last week and left loads of rubbish and left the gates open now get lost'. Soz about the rant but its a pet hate of mine......

it makes my blood boil pal had a few run ins they have no respect for the fish , the enviroment , or other decent anglers that fish the same waters , ive said it before just ban them completly off the water if they are caught doing wrong on that water then if they come back prosicute but then it down to the agency to sought that out ....ha ho
