Good one Salar mate. My dad got me into fishing and I've never looked back. So many helpful people as well, I can honestly say that other anglers are the friendliest strangers I have ever met.

I have been having conversations with the local fishing shop about them using bio- degradeable plastic bags. This followed on from the fact that the paper ones, of sufficient thickness for bait etc, are too expensive.

 

What this wont help with is the attitude of some people towards littering fishing marks, and the environment in general. It is also not of much help with bait packets etc.

 

Maybe if someone has a good contact with Ammo, or one of the other major producers, we may be able to make some progress.

 

While I continue to try and clear the marks I go to, I really do despair sometimes.

Hiding 20m away with a air-rifle could help demon But you might get arrested

 

Know what you mean tho

 

Me and the Mrs went for a walk last Friday evening to a lovley beach in our area - Got there about 9:00 and the beach was still quite busy - Problem I had was there where two groups of "Youngish" people (about 17-20 I suppose) having a BBQ and a good laugh.... but by the time we came to leave they had packed up and left all rubbish and disposable bbq on the sand with the water now washing over it and taking it all out to sea !! Main issue I had is that our the local camp site had put 4 wheely bins 10m from where they were sat - and they were empty!!

 

Make you mad and wish you had an air-rifle!!

We run a fishing group throughout the summer at a local trout fishery, its sponsered by the CAA, if we want to project our sport in the eyes of the general public we all need to put something back. I,m sure if we put our minds to it, approached tackle companies or fisheries we could run various fishing related groups throughout the country. All it takes is alittle effortand a lot of enthusiasm.

There's been a big issue at Instow beach, North Devon with kids getting sever cuts from broken glass buried in the sand. The last one was rushed to hospital.

Say anything to anybody about the litter problem and it's alway some one else who left it before hand.
