Problem Anglers

[Tog]

So here it is a thread you can all 'vent your spleen on'

Give us a top 10 of your pet angling hates!

(and no offence intended to those who might take some!)

[awaaar]

sticking barbed trebles in my hands

[kleinboet]

How about the w@nkers that shout to one another and hold a conversation from the other side of the water, no matter how wide it is.

[awaaar]

what about people who constantly bitch about other forms of angling?....

[bluezulu]

litter on the bank (which includes line & discarded hooks)

[awaaar]

and cigarette butts....all mine go back in the rucksack...

[Fordy]

Anglers who think they are superior to those who are not fishing the same method as them. Example: Matchmen who frown (and swear) at pleasure anglers.....no need!!!

[Pangolin]

Unaccompanied kids, usually with garishly coloured rods and reels, no landing net (of course), who wander along the bank talking loudly about effing this and effing that.... Sometimes they stop and ask if you've caught anything, then you get the tale about how, just last week, one of them caught such an effing big fish, to which you just have to nod and smile and hope they'll move on soon!

[Lid]

Any other anglers where I am fishing. :cool:

[Peter Waller]

My pet hate is an all embracing one, irrespective of species or methods, it refers to people who treat fish that they catch badly, or without respect. Not through ignorance, but because they just can't be bothered, because they think that it just doesn't matter.
