pet hates - Talk Angling fishing chat and tackle advice

What are your pet hates related to fishing ? here's a few of mine.
1 ) People who drop 3/4 kids off at a pool with 1 rod for up to 6 hours, 2/3 run about and anglers are expected to act as unpaid babysitters to them.
2) Anglers who throw their feeders anywhere in the pool instead of in one spot.
3) Idiots, who after their days fishing throw their left over sandwiches into the pool thus causing all the ducks etc to fly across anglers lines to get at it.
4) People who stand behind me giving me the benefit of their wisdom regarding tactics, bait etc whilst at the same time blowing the smoke from their cancer sticks down my throat grrr

think number one on your list is my pet hate to. and some will come around ask do you have any splits or hooks man dont they bring any kit
man im all for helping out the young ones but after 10 minutes it wears a bit thin
only a few weeks ago me and the brother was on this lake fishing doing really well cus the brother was getting a few this lad was not getting anything, so he walks aroud the lake to the other side of the lake and drops his float right by are brother float so he could get a fish.
man you should have seen are bro's face it was a pic
to make it worse this lad was with his dad

Another pet hate is people walking their dogs off lead around the lake, and another is spectators, I think they should have to pay like we do to fish

and yes his dad got the message very well to,.; i don't mind them standing and asking what setup i am using or what bait i am using.. they can even site there but when they start fishing in your swim that not on for me. i help any one with a fishing problem but i do remember that day well i was bagging up well that day.. and he came over from the next lake sat to my right and start to fish, i did not say any think to him then he got up and started to fish to my left.. know when i mean fishing he was just under my pole

he did not get a bite there, so he walked around the lake and put his float right next to my float and that was it i shouted to his dad ,,.,;;.; get him away from there,,

there is no fishing on that side like i have said i help any one but that day i must say the dad was bad to let his son do that.. i think all under 13 should have a adult looking after them not left on there own some fisheries do not let kid's fish with out a adult.....

1. Litter
2. 10lb line birdnests trodden into the mud
3. Fishery owners who don't research properly and post rules because everyone else does.
4. Tins of any sort on the bank. Where do they come from if everyone takes them home?

50/50 on people standing behind me cos sometimes you meet some really genuine anglers who end up being good mates.

Do you have any maggots mate, oh and have you got any smaller hooks, i didnt realise you had to buy a day ticket, you dont want to do it like that you want to do it like this, i dont use a landing mat im always careful when i get them out.
