  • Well, after hearing about a mark on Loch Long, that was very popular due to the quantities of fish being caught. To say I was annoyed with the state of the place when I arrived, is an understatement.
    I was in 2 minds whether to post this video or not. I'm not after a load of praise for this, I'm just doing my bit. What I want to do, is highlight that its the minority that cause these issues. Most anglers, and campers I meet are very respectful of the areas they visit. Clear their own rubbish away and usually take a little more if its there.
    Please guys, if everyone just takes their own rubbish with them, no one would have to clean up at all!!
    As cliche as this may sound, leave nothing but footprints, and we can all enjoy areas like this for years to come!

      That’s usually the reason they have no fishing signs in areas. Cause one or group of people decides it’s no big deal but when your there the next day and the ranger or whoever is in charge of the fishing area thinks it’s you. But I always pick up the beer cans and worm canisters so when the authorities stop by I can show that I’m cleaning the junk from the idiots who shouldn’t be allowed. Amazing how they will probably be all upset when there’s no trespassing eventually and they will wonder why did this happen. Ridiculous that they can’t see basic cause and effect. But whatever can’t fix stupid

    First I've seen, a hermit crab on the line! At first I thought "there it is, the long stare at the bait thinking WTF is this?" .. good reason to stare ... Such a shame, but honestly it ain't just anglers, in fact it mostly ain't anglers! It happens everywhere .. We also go Green Laning in Landrovers and the crap some people leave is mind boggling .. Middle of a mountain someone dumped a fridge!!!! Very sad to see. Well done for calling it out .. ;)

      In my experience, especially in very rural areas, it's precisely the locals who are causing the problem. Can't tell you how many times I've come across an illegal trash dump where the locals just throw their household trash over the side if the bridge in an otherwise beautiful natural area, and they have trash service available for only a small monthly payment but rather than spend $1.50 a month they throw it in the creek. Makes you wanna cry.

    Well done for your efforts in clearing all that rubbish up. Seems to be everywhere I go to fish these days. I went fishing on Clacton pier the other night & there was bait wrappers & plastic bottles left in the shelters. There are bins nearby for all the crap. The fishermen will be the first to complain when fishing is banned. Rant over. Tight lines.

    • @theawfulangler
      @theawfulangler  Před rokem

      Yeah its not good Chris. Cheap gear readily available these days, its an easy access sport if you're local, so invites anyone to come and make a mess. I do think though that councils need to look at their rubbish bins in more detail. So many are prone to winds whipping stuff back out that can make it look a worse situation than it actually is!
