I went for a bit of bream fishing on my local river on sunday and was really enjoying it ,that was until some so called angler came over and started talking to me .
I hadn't fished this stretch before so i tried to get some info on it and asked if i could expect anything else apart from the Bream , to which he replied "yes there's Tench and Carp aswell,but you shouldn't get too much Pike trouble because we just chuck them up the bank".
I couldn't believe my ears ,this was coming from a man twice my age and probably twice as experianced.
He then went on to say that he and his mates had also chucked zander out aswell.
Now i'm not a pike angler but this really did sicken me and if i saw anybody actually do this i would report them,would you?
There is a public footpath along the river so you can guess the rest ,antis
etc.
Is there a way we can educate these idiots through clubs etc,that there are better ways of controling pike?
I know this sort of thing has been going on for years but it's the first time someones told me this and by suffocating them is just disgusting.
what do you think ?
