Having had time to reflect further its fair to say I didnt expect the reaction to a comment that was intended to as well intended support. The reality is it had the opposite effect, particuarilty on Mike & for that I have apologised to Mike, becuase it was never my intention to get him involved. Unfortunately, becuase I was Lands End it was wrongly assumed that Mike had said something.
I still believe there is an issue amongst anglers that take fishery owners for granted and dont show the respect that most deserve. A story in the Angling Times this week highlighted the fact where one fishery owner has at great expense bought thousands of pounds worth of nets (keepnets & landing nets) for his customers to use, only for most of them to have disappeared. There is another fishery that decided to shut its door to match anglers, due the amount of moaning, litter and gerneral aggravation.
So back to the original purpose of my comment, we do need to support our local fishery and in general friends I have spoken to agree, although in hindsight I should have said it a different way.
If nothing else, those that read this blog will understand/appreciate the point I was trying to make and those that discuss my blog with others will be gracious enough to do the same.
