Bad day

[SPSwallow]

My fishing was cut short today. I was sat minding my own buisness when a middle aged chav slapped me round the back of the head. Broke my rod, threw it in the river and called me a cruel bastard. My Granddad gave me that rod. I'm sick of peoples ignorance and intolerances. God knows I have to put up with other people, 90% of the population I can't stand. Should be able to fix the rod. Trouble is it puts you off going out again

Hi Mate

I am really sorry to hear of your experience. You shouldn't have to put up with ignorant ar5eholes like that.

Thankfully this type of incident is very rare so don't let it put you off. Chin up (and take some mates with you next time)

I'd echo Sportsman's thoughts, very sorry to hear about that.

 

I just don't undertsand why scum like that are allowed to breathe air. Get the rod fixed and fish somewhere else if you can until you feel comfortable. I doubt you'll enjoy a return trip to that venue for a while.

 

He's a lowlife and you're not.

[Guerilla]

Sorry to hear that. I hope it doesn't put you off and that the damage is reversible.

Where were you fishing? Were you at one of the Cherry Tree waters I suggested for Chub? If so, the club would probably like to hear about the incident.

[Anderoo]

That just beggars belief. What a total cretin.

I hope you manage to enjoy fishing there again.

If you meet him again you might ask him if he eats meat.

Indeed, what a simpleton. Sorry to hear that SPS. If it happens again (VERY unlikely) you could point out that he's being cruel to an animal

SPS could you not of retaliated ? Ok you may not be that way inclined but sometimes you have to fight your corner, no use just letting someone bully you like that. Don't you know who the chav is ?

Well I swore at him and waved my bankstick around a bit. Problem was I was taken by surprise when he grabbed my rod.

 

I'm not letting it put me off fishing that's for sure

While a gigantic riverside punch-up involving you and all your friends, plus your adversary and all his friends, might sound like a good idea, it probably wouldn't be the wisest move! I'd definitely report it to the police though. If he's hit you, unprovoked, and broken your property and thrown it in the river, then chances are he's done it to others, or at least tried to.

Any chance there are CCTV cameras on the approach to your spot?

Na. Pretty secluded. It was in how hill, and for a change there was no boats about, typical. I think i'll leave it. The police wouldn't do much about it. Still, I caught a nice roach anyhow.

Thanks for the moral support guys
