Spiddal pier

#1 Post by ofeannachtas »

Hi,

Not pointing the finger at anyone, i would like to make one statement.

Whoever was fishing there over weekend, failed to remove baited tackle from the pier end. Not only was i lucky that my prized springer did not sallow a baited hook (cast included baited hooks and lead, including 2 individual hooks) left behind, but several gulls were picking off the scrap mackerel baits.

this is totally irresponsible! :evil:

that pier is always destroyed when you go down to the end of it - even with the bin in prime position - people cant seem to use it

doesint take much to spend a minute or 2 gathering up your bait wrappers and busted rigs at the end of the day, throw them in to a bag and in to the bin, or bring it home. Pure laziness... Balscadden in howth would be a good example, i personally dont like fishing there because i dont want to be associated with the amount of s^*te left around the place
Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths.

I was only walking the dogs yesterday morning! Haven't had an opportunity recently. Will wait for the weather to improve.
