Your right Boouk, but I think that when we are out with the rods we are representing the angling community. If the local councils get wind of 'anglers' leaving old line, rusty hooks, lure packets etc. around the place then they could try make certain areas 'no fishing zones'.

thats for sure nothing like being out on a fishing trip on a hardy cold evening with your flask of tea,and that wont be long sorting out the fair weather so called anglers litter bugs and the ----head that uses dogfish as a javelin,


tight lines to the hardy souls that fish through the winter this year.

Its shocking down this way too. Feather packets and line on the pier. Bird's nests cut of and thrown aside on the rock marks. Not to mention the beer cans and bottles..... I can't figure out how its too difficult for someone to wind up a ball of line and stick it in their pocket when they have just gone to the effort of climbing down the side of a cliff laden with gear ! :roll:
