Grrr, damn anglers! Leave Dozzi alone!

[N2-UK]

Just got back from diving at Dosthill this morning. Found a big pike plug trapped in the boards on one of the training platforms.
I showed it to the DC Staff & they said that they knew there was a bit of a problem recently.

The thing is, how do you stop it? Now most anglers I know are environmentally friendly & responsible and if the sign says 'No fishing' then they know not to fish there.

But there's always a few b*st*rds out there who can't take no for an answer.

Plus I'd hate to see a diver get caught on one of those big plugs.

I reckon Dozzi must be quite a well balanced environment as it is now. This morning we saw several Pike, from small juveniles to real big muthas, plenty of healthy looking Perch, Roach etc and I'm always fascinated by the little fresh water mussels. I know the Koi & the other Carp shouldn't really be there but it all seems to work.

I'd hate to see anything happen to ruin it.

BTW: I do occasionally go fishing myself, rod and line, always legally & only if it's for the pot.

How the hell do the Pike see the lures at Dosthill? I go there most weekends and quite agree,did see a lovely Pike yesterday near to the entry steps.It would be such a shame for the ecosystem to be disurbed by these guys.

Most dog owners pick up their pooches' poo. Most car owners switch off their engines when stopped for more than a minute. Most....

Most divers don't smash up coral - some do. Most divers don't trash wrecks to find worthless tat - some do. Most divers don't take more crabs/lobsters/scallops than they can eat - some do.

What was your point again?

Oh come on now Chris!! If you are only going to offer a resonable excuse
to the argument then I'll have to ask you to leave. There will be no sensible
replies I'll have you Know. Now post some bigotted rubbish like the rest of us
do will you? :rolleyes:
