Hope this not you

Disgraceful behaviour regardless of where they are from.

I am curious however why the fish have been spread out over an area of shingle, not just poured out in one spot to show how many there were ? This makes a bad situation look even worse, or was it done for this effect ?

I don't post on these sites because I personally believe that they are responsible for ruining fishing. This is the 3rd incident of its kind in the last 3 weeks. (st abbs, I O wight and I O Man). In the past, nuggets were pretty much confined to the piers in the summer but now because of sites like this, wsf and the locker, They have realised that fish can be caught elsewhere. In the past, you had to find your own fishing marks and do research. Now its just a case of posting on a site. "what marks fish best at what time and what bait and what hooks and what rod and what do I need in my sandwiches ect."
I fished some of the marks around the borders for years and never even seen so much as a crisp packet, now every mark is loaded with nuggets and the mess is unreal. Co-incidence? I think not.
Rant over.

Fpmsl
He has a point though

[Pighunter]

Has a point but with out slagging something off I am not involved in there seams to be more trouble on the locker also more lads on there that jump pier gates

Funny but loads of words of outrage on something that'a as local as our own piers.
Have you ever been on Seaham Pier after a match? Or any-time for that matter.....

Funnily enough I was on there for the match last Sunday, drew peg 8 so walked all the way up, fished, then walked all the way back.

Was pretty clean when I walked on, and was pretty clean when I walked off again, along with and behind most of the other 40 odd lads who fished. But then I haven't got an axe to grind...

burnt tents and multiple sized dead fish is another storey though, by those pictures it just looks like they totally didnt give a **** when visiting the isle of man... just disgraceful

who burns a tent down and just leaves it? absolute madness

Seaham Pier is generally kept quite clean. As the lads on the security do their best to make sure it is.......
I've even seen Gus down on the spiles picking up take-away cartons & pizza boxes & the likes after 8 o'clock at night. That's two hours after the lad has finished graft.

No axe to grind Stu. Just telling it the way I see it. I was on there just before the match finished and moved along to around 3/4 of the way up once it was over. I managed to collect a length of snood with hooks and worms attached, a sinker sort of fluted in shape on a length of line with hooks, lots of discarded line and packets, even a couple of rags and the inevitable bundles of birds nests. That's besides the discarded plastic bottles and cans. Dozens of crab legs laying around on one mark as well, as if if they couldn't be kicked overboard.

I know some it will have been there for ages, or at least since there was a good sea over it, but it's still there and you can't possibly deny it. Don't care really even if you do. I ain't a liar and I'm not saying you are aren't either but we have different perspectives of what clean really is.

My only axe, if I'm accused of having one to grind is how we teach our juniors in such behaviour.

For what it's worth, I'd be up to a general clean-up if a club session was organised.
