vinnimon Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Sorry Guys but someone has to say something. I was at Bronte for the past little while,the peir was clean as can be! Guess what folks!Once the fools got there its a pure mess! Fishing lines left on shore tangling up on a nice ladies foot while cleanin up the timmies cups(fisherman coffee I may add), a dog as well was tangled in a nest! Ear plugs all over the shore to boot!!!!With hooks still in them!!!!!!!!! Ive done my part and will continue doing it on my own accord! Please,Keep the walkways safe for the children,pets and all the good folks around! Please!!!!!!We fish there as well!!! Sorry guys, I was a little teed off with this. I do my my part,so should others! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spincast Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I'm with you on this one Vince. The fishermen / fishergals that leave their stuff all over the place make us all look bad. I took my daughter to the dam in paris. Brought out a bag a garbage - worm containers, fishing line by the mile, packaging, you name it, just thrown all over the ground and rocks. Embarassing and just destroys natures beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRT8 smoker craft Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I wouldn't call the people doing the littering fisherman/gals they are just ignorant people, REAL ANGLERS would not do this good on ya for picking up the mess guys I do a clean up on my local trib evry spring and try to pick up when ever possible.

spincast Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) Your right Shawn. My apologies to all my fellow fisher people. My continued scorn on the litterbugs however. Maybe we need to start something like our friends to the south did with an 800 # to report those who do..... or maybe we send them for a swim when we catch em?

rapala14 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I see it all the time at the ganny. Pick up a net full of timmy hoès cups all the time. And thats not even considering the line and lure packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdve23rveavwa Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Some things never change guys. Shawn is totally correct, anyone that has that little respect shouldn't be termed an "angler". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bailey Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Come for a walk along the spit at Frenchman's Bay some morning. Absolutely disgusting. The only up-side is that I've been able to get some free tackle. There is also a resident beaver just west of Liverpool Road, and the slobs who go there in the winter steal wood from the lodge to build fires, it's so denuded that it's a wonder the poor guy survived.

There are actually 3 beavers in the lil pond thingy closest to the P.P.P. But yeah, can't imagine why everyone can't do their part..But as mentioned before most of the litterbugs aren't anglers, just food fishermen who do not respect the natural resource available to them..

Guest 2uniq Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I don't really like it when people leave garbage either... worm containers, massive balls of tangled mono line, cans, cups... seriously, can't they find a garbage can nearby?? or bring a plastic bag and put garbage inside, then throw them away when they get home??

tb4me Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) This is horrible. Everywhere I go anymore (shore fishing that is) its the same thing. I went down to my dock this weekend after not being there for 2 weeks and there were broken beer bottles worm contianers and a busted fishing rod laying there. For anyone that leaves thier garbage laying around your just as bad as the white bucket gang. It sickens me to no end.

MJL Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I certainly don't like it when I see trash strewn around my favourite fishing spots. If I can, I try to make the place better before I leave for next time. Whatever I pick up gets packed out and disposed of at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Manitoubass Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I deal with this alot as well on my local body of water. I always pick up the mess, usually have my kids help as well. No different then camping, leave the site better then when you arrived! Teach this to your kids Real anglers would never be so disrespectful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
