i have fished a lot of marks this year,and the only place that i find littered is popular mackerel marks,and the litter can be appalling!we have cleaned up after these idiots regularly,only to come back a week later to find it worse than the last time,but since the schools reopened,we have not had to clean up once,because these idiots have stopped fishing till next year. :D but it would be a good idea if there was a poster like donals that we could print off and stick up in these spots.anybody care to design one? I can't,dont have the software.

What's that all about? Is angling prohibited on the beach? Why? By who? Are there any such signs and who put them up?

Basically The owner of the dog had no case for an argument he seen it piss on my shelter and when i approached him about it he came up with some cock and bull story about signs for no fishing, i asked him to show them to me and he went off muttering something under his breath????? :oops:
I have had a number of instances like that over the years, on the nth beach greystones i was unloading my car i put down my tackle box turned around to take out something else and a dog came over a drunk on my box i made a run and a kick at the dog and missed (unfortunately) after a heated argument the owner abused me and told me i had no right to be coming from Dublin and using this beach. :roll: :roll: :roll:
Kstaff has always been the new black in my eyes anyway!!!!!!!
