Fishing Ettiquette - Do's and Don'ts

[Andy "the Dog" Nellist (SAA) (ACA)]

1. Don't fish within 20 yards of another angler unless invited to do so.

 

[Sean Meeghan]

Don't stand at the top of the bank shouting "Av y'ad owt mate?"

 

[GreyFox]

Even if you are more than 20 yards away, even 60 or more yards away, don't chuck a lead into anther anglers swim. Have the common courtesy to ask them where they are fishing first.

 

[GreyFox]

If you absolutely can't fish without music, turn the sodding sound down!

 

[GreyFox]

TAKE YER LITTER HOME ........it weighs less than it did when you brought it!

 

[GreyFox]

If you don't have a membership book, day ticket or rod licence - stay at home!

 

[GreyFox]

On a roll, here!

If you're having a few beers and a bit of a social...remember some folks are fishing the lake to relax, even to catch fish. They aren't p*ssed and can do without the shouting and gobbing off.

lol lol lol Andy, lol lol lol

ONLY Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Steve Spiller]

Never ask a fellow angler where he's been catching all of his big uns too!

It's probably taken the "said" angler a long time and a hellof a lot of hard work to locate them.

Be polite and you may get an invite or a few tips....

 

[Fin the Fish]

Doesnt matter where you're standing, just don't shout!

 

[Steve Spiller]

Keeping ones voice down seems to be a deffinate "DO"

Always approach an angler quietly, whisper, but try not to take the angler by surprise making him/her jump out of their skin....

 

[Warren 'Hatrick' (Wol) Gaunt]

Dopay ya mate for the maggots, never throw bread at him and return camo bucket. /forum/smilies/party_smiley.gif

Dobring hot coffee to mates swim, fanx Townsend. A little more milk next time. /forum/smilies/hot_smiley.gif

Do always be first in weir swim and tell others bowlox, sod off, i'm here first.

Dont tell Speci where you are going.

 

[S-Kippy]

Turn your mobile to vibrate...better still leave the friggin thing at home.It wont kill you.

 

[Steve Spiller]

Never distract an angler whilst he/she is in the "concentration mode" some anglers get aggitated and tend to strike harder when this happens, thus causing breakages!

Lol!

I hear speci is gonna write an article, I reckon the topic will be: " How tolearnand develop skills from thetop anglers in the country, my way....."

 

[Nik Foad]

Don't frown upon kids that aren't fishing correctly - give them some of your knowledge.

They're the fishing future and we all started somewhere.

 

[Muffin]

Oh I forgot this one:

"Never invite Steve Spiller fishing with you, he's guaranteed bad luck you know, its those gypsy genes!" /forum/smilies/tongue_out_smiley.gif

 

[Steve Spiller]

"Do's"

Always remember to settle up on the petrol money, a thick head because of the cider is no excuse!

/forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif/forum/smilies/tongue_out_smiley.gif

Totally agree Nik, help the kids whenever possible, we were all young once...

 

[Jeff Spiller]

DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF A ANGLER WHEN HE IS FISHING. IT IS RUDE.

STAND BEHIND HIM, TALK QUIETLY AND DO NOT SHOUT ACROSS TO OTHER ANGLERS.

Speci print this page off and keep it with you at all times, you are guilty of many of these crimes.

 

[redalert06]

Don't go on a 30 minute wander (checking licences) and leave 3 baited rods in. (just because you've got a remote alarm doesn't make it OK)

Don't tell me you had a bream at 2.30am but couldn't be bothered to wind it in until 7am, Id rather not know that! (both from a club bailiff last weekend)
