Fishing over for a while.

[Deleted]

So that's it then.
Loads of families queueing for Tesco's yesterday when I drove past and even more enjoying the sunshine in the park when I was out with the dog.
None of these selfish people gave a toss about social distancing or anyone else but themselves and now the government have had to step in in order to protect us all.
It's bad enough that there's no football anywhere and now I can't go fishing for the forseeable future,this is starting to get scary.
My inconvenience is irrelevant when I think of what's coming at us over the next few weeks and months so please,everybody,change your lifestyles,stay safe,and hopefully we'll all be back fishing soon.
Good luck everyone  .

Yeah iv grown increasingly angry this week at people's greed and selfishness ,from people trying to buy a whole shop, to a fat selfish prick having a go at a young shop assistant in Tesco garage cause she told him he could only buy 3 bottles of whatever he was buying and not ten .

There's a lot of good people out there but also a lot of selfish pricks , I honestly only care about my nearest and dearest ,and you lot on here lol

Looking out the window this morning, it looks like nobody is giving a f*** about this lockdown.
This will go on for quite a while if people ignore it.

It was quite interesting yesterday. I didn’t particularly react to boris’ speech, it was expected. As it gradually dawned on my that fishing would be banned....in instantly remarked to the wife


“This sh*ts just got real”

Iv been for a walk along Winn lane right up to cod Beck and three people fishing ,I hope for trout and grayling but all ledgering rods up in air on rests , a concern for the virus side of things and also WTF are they really fishing for notca prolific trout and grayling stretch ,world's just mental right now

What is it that people don't understand?
No way can a fishing session be considered as going out for a bit of exercise no matter whether you're 2 metres apart or not,that's why most fisheries have closed until this is over.
There's just no telling some of the population how serious the situation is,this I'm alright Jack mentality is just madness.
Says it all really.

I couldn't believe it greame was just taking my lady for a run out bit of exercise where there would be next to no people , andcas I went along Winn lane to where the last hundred yards of track is there was a van and two cars , as I'm thinking like u I reckoned people out for a walk who maybes in club and just getting a good walk somewhere low risk

But if u know the stretch I mean below the island there was 3 anglers on that stretch all enjoying the warm sun legering away I was go smacked never spoke to any of them , now the most important thing the virus ,iv already excepted health of everyone especially my own but loved ones is most important ,but also those three were fishing in my mind in a way they could maybe argue they were fishing for trout n grayling ,but judging by gear and method used they were hedging their bets ,just disgusts me , I get very angry at the way some people are they literally only care about their own self gratification , , whether it's buying the last 24 big rolls , moaning at people working under stress trying to keep things going ,or ignoring guidelines and rules , the world's naughtyed up in many ways

I would have stood top ov bank,asked for there licence to be held up and ask to see there baits,if there was anything other than a worm on there I would have reported it and took there number plates.we did exactely the same 2 seasons ago at toppy,myself and Charlie.clearly were not fishing for trout,buckets ov pellets,caster,maggs.the didn't even have a club card.....I know we have this covid 19 but banks are quite steep along there,plenty ov distance between you and them,and you have every rite to ask for there licence and bait issues.


bad enough been stuck in house,never mind people out fishing at present time

[andy76]

Iv had enough agro with people this last week bud was just out having a walk with the new lady in my life , what irritated me is they'd gone right to too of stretch which in itself tells me they were banking on no one finding them
