another "carp angler" setting a good example....
from another site:
"Yeah, I heard Goldvalley. Only one bloke doing the punching i heard. Supposedly he was fishing with his family!?! Wife and kids?!?! I heard that supposedly the woman on the gate locked the gate and took the chaps car registration. However, when the owner turned up, he allegedly opended the gate to let him out, and destroyed the bit of paper with the car registration on!?!? Why?
Most odd behaviour by a fishery owner, who at the slightist sniff of an algee bloom of fish kill would be right on the phone to the EA? Let alone the fact that if some old chap has been beaten in the head to the extent that he later collpaed why would you let the vermin who did it get away?!?
Most odd.
I also beleive that assaulting a baliff will be viewed in the courts the same as assaulting a constable! I mean, going fishing with out a rod licence is one thing, but to possibly, if gets caught etc etc to go to prison for it is just plain crazy!?! "
hope the owner gets a bollocking if true
