Common Courtesy

[Jonah]

Does common courtesy exist anymore? I recently fished a local water with a mate where we watched an angler 2 swims down bait up my mates swim then chuck his rod over the top after he had been told and saw with his own eyes where my mate was fishing. This resulted in my mate losing a very big fish later in the session when lines got tangled, i was brought up to respect other anglers, but in todays quick fix carp environment this kind of behaviour is becoming more and more common.

Appologies for the rant but that kind of behaviour p****s me off.

Very true. Theres a major lack of respect on the bank now adays.
Every ones trying to get in each others swim.
I just f1ck them right off.
and invite them in my bivvy........
normally they get the message straight away and start chucking there 8oz leads in the oppersit direction.

This is the problems with todays carp anglers. You will find these 'pot noodle' anglers a lot of day tickets waters that you fish. I dont think its a lack of respect half the time, i think they are just basically to stupid to understand how the bankside etiquette should be

i agree with what's been said 100%.a lot of the time these community outcast's know what they are doing is wrong but as in society as a whole they couldn't care less,they have had no disipline in their short feral live's so they carry on as they wish.i've watched on countless occasion's example's of this not just in fishing but in general society and imo it's only going to get worse.bring back the BIRCH

not sure about too stupid cos alot of the people doing things like this are probably new to angling and have never been told about bankside etiquette

everyone was new to this game once and im sure everyone has made a school boy error at some point in there fishing career.

... that said there are some complete w a n kers as well
