This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: No Fishing – Close Season Poster Campaign
Ignorance of the law is no defence, if they are fishing in this country and want to fish legally they should know the laws, unfortunately some know the laws and choose to ignore them, the penalties should be severe enough to make them think twice and then think again but then if there is nobody on the bank whats to stop them doing whatever they like? nothing as far as I can see, certainly not a few signs.

If it bothers you that much why not get out there yourself I am sure you would find it more fulfilling than the forum.
It's a start.
Did you volunteer for the pilot must be in your range?
Been doing it for 15 years...have confiscated tackle from some illegal anglers which was handed to club officials and police. What have you done?
I also have balliffed for 15 years (on a local club water) even caught someone nicking carp and yes they were EEs, fortunately they didn't like the look of my dog who is just a softie, cant do it now, cant get round,someone needs to be on the water.
Sorry to hear that blanker...some just like to bash out one liners on here rather than get out on the bank and make a difference.
Regards
