I saw this post on another site and thought that it would be a good one for here.
What ticks you off when fishing?
The main thing that ticks me off is when I see someone with a stringer full of trout and they are trying to give them away. If they don't want them then why keep them?
Everything you guys have said so far is what ticks me off.
I think the litter the most though. Infact I have to bring a garbage bag over to S. Branch Raritan if I go tonight.
Some people are SUCH SLOBS. There is a frigging garbage can in the parking area, yet people still dump stuff everywhere.[mad]
As for the giving away fish, Im a catch and release fisherman, but I will give away a decent sized fish if someone is actually going to eat it. But if you're not standing there when I catch it, away it goes.
Caught 4 in a half hour last night. 2 nice sized, one decent fish, and a dinky one. All rainbows.
Just remember to enjoy yourself when you're out fishing. Try not to let the jerks and slobs get you down.
That really erks me!![mad] I just about always walk out of the woods with more than I came in with. I hate picking up after others but hate even worse to leave it there.[mad]
I made these signs up to get the attention of my " tresspassing Friends " It seems to have worked. Seems I now have my pond to myself again.
** Note - Drag was kind enough to edit the picture of the sign I sent him. But the real signs say it all !

Yep, It certainly got their attention. Especially when I posted the signs under them that say " IF YOU CAN READ THIS SIGN YOUR IN RANGE " I've actually seen people look around and leave. QUICKLY !!
Just give me your e-mail address and I'll send ya the " unedited " picture. Get some HEAVY bright yellow paper from Kinko's of any copy store and print them on your printer. They last a few months. But are CHEAP to make. AND THEY DO GET PEOPLES ATTENTION !
LITTER LITTER LITTER!!! Nothing ticks me off like litter![mad]I went fishing at SplitRock last fall and I couldn't believe all the litter left behined by everyone![mad] People are such slobs! [mad]
It is rule with my kids to bring back everything we take plus 1 other thing each. They don't it without me telling now and most times grab more then one thing.
How about when your fishing a small stream that you can touch the other side with the tip of your fly rod and some guy comes sloshing into the middle of the stream in his brand new waders in order to get in on your "hot" spot.
ticks me off: i fall in the water
everyone is catchin fish but me (and i still dont crowd people[smirk])
im fishing with lure and a wormer comes in the area
i can see the fish and he wont do so much but watch my bait float by
i get all the way to the fishing spot and forget my pole in the truck (it happens)
step foot in the water to start off the day and have a leak in my boot
