they should be ashamed

[<(Andy2009)>]

mate and i went crabbing today, when we got there ther was a massive digger next to mates traps having just demolished a very large concrete jetty, so decided not to do our traps and leave them for another day, so with nowt to do we decided to stop at jarra park and have a chat to the crabbers there, when we got there only one crabbing, when me mate noticed loads of DEAD FLOUNDERS lying there, as a lot of tem were dark side up and made it hard to count them in the dirty manky slurry still managed to counte 30+, we was then told a certain angling club was fishing ther and it was their doing a'll not mention the club just in case it was not them was some orther club that done it and as the title of thread says
THEY SHOULD BE BE ASHAMED as this mass slaughter will sooner or later diminish the flounder stocks and these same match anglers will probably be the first to complain about the dwindling catches

Nae good that Bob like, makes me sick to think... they could have been future fishing for us and all anglers alike to catch, really boils my blood though just thinking there is some a**holes out there that obviously dont care about there catch...

Perhaps it wasn't anglers at all, but some natural phenomenum. I mean who really knows?

I read at the weekend about an illegal method of electro-shock "fishing" for razor clams that can have that effect on bottom fish.

Just a couple of thoughts.

Even some catch and release anglers don't give a toss about their catch as they just rip the hook out of the fish resulting in their catch floating down river dying

if you read thread properly i stated i was informed that a club that had dumped the fish, and i took that info at face value as the guy that told me had no reason to lie

Sorry mate didn't mean any offence, but I have to say I did read the thread properly. Here is your exact quote:

"we was then told a certain angling club was fishing ther and it was their doing a'll not mention the club just in case it was not them."

Anyway I did not intend to start an argument, or dispute your thread, so sorry again if you took it the wrong way.

I've got to try this electro-shock treatment method the club in question used. Off of shields pier like, might eventually catch something

In Waco's statement it says there was a fishing club fishing at the venue then surely it couldnt have been the Alberta as i am told there match was a rover and most of the fish caught were from the Wear and S/S pier.

[codseeker]

ok guys it was me with a single handline using garden worms as bait the fish come on thick and fast me arms was aching pulling in by hand must been 80 flounders in an hour

hope alan charlton dont get to see this cos al be in the journal this weekend PMSL

[daveyjones]

fished amble open the other week, and all flatfish taken to the scales had to be in a large bucket of sea water, to be released after weighing, good on them.
bad crack wat you`ve seen there like, and your spot on, they`l be the first 1`s to shout wen there not gettin flounders............!

yeah davey.amble did it spot on,bucket of sea water with the fish in it all flatfish returned alive to the water.someone knows who thease scumbags are.

[totty]

yeh they do and i think they should be ashemed of them selves all they had to do was take the fish to an old peoples home or sumthing like that

[Charlton]

I thought most clubs had tried there best to prevent these things happening, if it was a club and they where seen dumping them, they want to change their weigh in strategy, or keep their flounder alive, best way is a wide dish with about an inch of water, otr a bucket of watre which is areated, even still too many in the bucket some will drown. Even a damp sack with your fish in works. There was a couple of instances a good few year ago, at the bottom of Davy Bank where large amounts of flounder where seen on the bottom dead, and i maen a lot, it looked as if it was either a localised pollution incident or some natural occurance. Naturally at first anglers got the blame.

Noy really, when God was telling me to go out and kill
non believers,they did this to me in hospital.....and there
was'nt a boat in sight.
