Well, maybe us kayakers should just leave the fishermen to do what they do in peace. I mean, we would not want to change anything that has been in place for years now would we?

 

Hmm, then again - maybe not. Is it actually illegal to paddle where you want? No, I do not think so.

 

I for one will paddle where I want to, but as always, will give fishermen a wide berth as to not disturb them - surely this is a compromise that means the fish can still be 'hooked'?

I used to think the same about other people's property, until I got into debt to buy a few acres of my own!
