Keeping anglers out of your swim

Now, we all like a bit of the world we would ideally like to keep as our own. But as to what means & how far would one go?

I have been fishing on the Tidal Trent recently & fancied a swim I had not fished before. I was scoping it out & took a step backwards, slipping, not completely over. Looked down to see one of the biggest (now slightly spread) human turd I had ever seen.

Being the Tidal, by its very nature it is on the open side & in places very sparse. But why oh why could not the said person (could easily have been a rambler) just walk 10 minutes away from swims & the footpath. They had taken the care to remove any soiled toilet roll...

Or was it just their marker saying keep out - enter & fish but you'll have to straddle this big blighter each & every time...

Cheers, Jon
 
Jon, you should have walked a turd of a mile further on. :D Or try to fish swims that get a bit of sun, at least then they might have a crust. :eek:
 
I used to fish a syndicate appropriately strict as to the calibre of the water. Fag butts, tea bags & all waste removed before (regardless of ownership) fishing. Defecation - one had to either squeeze the turd into a bag taking this home or take a trowel digging a divot, filling accordingly & burning toilet roll with a lighter. Since then, part of my fishing tackle regardless of session duration is this said trowel!

I had a turd time lucky this w/e as it happens. Over the last year I have lost 2 landing nets complete with handles - one due to Beeston Hydro Scheme letting off water at midnight & another to a 'blonde' moment on the tidal. Last week I drove from a car park at 1am leaving my 'turd' landing net behind. I bought another the following day & drove back for another session & found my 'turd' net of the year sitting where I left it!

Cheers, Jon

Vey true Alan, this is the turd time I have logged on desperately trying to squeeze a piece out worthy of depositing in these annals, but something seems to pop up every time. Actually, I am surprised someone hasn't passed a motion to stop this....but perhaps they tried and the idea was poo-pooed.

Cheers, Dave
