Just heard by a friend one of my local waters has basically been fished out of pike by eastern European anglers. I know this is a touchy subject but it's a fact (in my opinion stating a fact is not racist towards Eastern Europeans although some people with their heads in the clouds think it is) that the majority of eastern European anglers kill everything they catch I am going on what I have seen first hand and heard from very reliable sources first hand. Why aren't more people approaching them when they witness this I have approached 3 Eastern European anglers up to no good when I was on my own sick of people moaning about it and doing nothing. Heard on talk sport one morning the host of the show saying along the lines of Eastern European anglers do this because they do it in their own country and don't know any better here. I totally disagree I have seen them taking fish after being told on numerous occasions not to and signs all round them saying you can't take fish either. The guy that said this is a clown or like many, too much of a coward to speak up and say something. I am devastated as this is the second local water this has happened to. I will approach them if they are doing wrong and put them straight but I have been fighting a losing battle can't be everywhere at once. It's annoying when people defend them saying there could be other reasons for this too like that makes everything that they are doing ok or your just looking for someone to blame these people that say this either need to open their eyes or get a backbone. Has anyone got any advice please? Just want my kids and other people kids when they grow up to be able to enjoy some of these less well known waters which are like little gold mines and should be treated with respect not taking advantage of and destroyed.
