An article in todays AM about the fish losses in British Waterway's Makin's Fishery summed up everything that is wrong with a large number of commercial fisheries.
Loads of fish deaths, stock being repeatedly netted and moved around the lakes, fish deaths due to keepnet damage and stress etc.
The article is not negative as I guess AM do not want to give too much ammo to the antis but the subtext of it is there for all to see.
I hate these places but took my girlfriend on one earlier this year. It was absolutely shocking. I will never go back.
Dead fish everywhere.
Litter everywhere.
Noddy kids dragging carp up the bank.
Scallies smoking dope.
People swimming(!)
Tackle festooning the trees and snags
etc. etc. etc.
These places are going to give some real ammo to the antis unless they change their attitude. But profit is God.......
