bait ponces

[islander]

Oh yes, piers always attract "bait poncers" God I love that description Sam LOL!

 

Had a French guy doing the rounds scrounging worm recently. I only had sandeel so he was out of luck. The French have had too many of our fish anyway.

Take some 5 times re-frozen leftover bait for them. They'll never get it to stay on the hook

growling tends to shoo away anyone

[Prowler]

Ahaha good one Salar, I bet they wont come back again either.

I guess it goes with the territory, but how things have changed when I was a kid fishing off piers and jettys over here you used to get offered bait by other fishermen when they packed up but even to this day I wouldnt have had the cheek of asking others for bait, plus our attitudes were better then

Now I would just tell em to go F themselves, Lazy gits.

hexed a grockle on west bay pier a few years ago.

 

he turned up & pushed his way into my space, to the extent that he was treading on my gear. sarcasm didnt work so i silently thought " break your rod, break your rod " over & over, 5 minutes later, he did

 

little onions would be interested in this, i think.

the only people i ever give bait to are kids, its not as easy for them to get out to tackle shops as it is for me, and they probably have less money to spend. so if i can help them i will

[sam-cox]

If i have perishable bait left ie, worms or fishbait i will offer it to other anglers when i pack up, a little like giving someone your pay and dislay ticket if it has time left on it. also i help kids with advice rigs and bait if i can, but ponces get in me wick, they should just get a job, or sit on the pavement with their hand out,,.,

[Guest stevie cop]

I can't believe that these people go fishing with no bait! It's like going with no hooks!

 

I say if they are stupid enough to go without taking any bait, f*ck them!

 

I've given plenty of bait away to people when I pack up, and I've had people offer bait to me when they pack up, but turning up with nothing and then begging for bait begars belief.

[big bite]

i break my back for my worm id rather throw them away than give them to a bum.

i only dig what i need anyway so they will always be out of luck

I am with Jeepster, I genearlly make exeptions for kids and like Steve, I always give my perishable bait away at the end of a session.
