Fished Flint Pond the other day..and sadly I was reminded how much ignorant people irritate me. Especially the fishermen who leave their trash all over the shores. I don't condone it from anyone, but really not from fishermen. We are people who should be taking care of our waters, who should be looking out for the welfare of the banks and the fisheries. Instead we leave cans of corn, fishing line, hooks, artificial baits, drink bottles..you name it all over the place.
I mean who here can honestly say they went out fishing and saw no trash...no fishing line, no worm boxes, no water bottles or beer cans...c'mon people pick it up, carry it out..respect the rivers/lakes/ponds and those who use them and live on them.

Yeah it was really bad..and these pics are during my fishing downtime. When I first arrived I carried a second bag out of the location...
I know, or at least hope, that the majority of this community are responsible so it is more like preaching to the choir...but I had to at least express my disgust at it

One place I've been fishing is the Charles river along some railroad tracks. It's a place kids drink, and there's bottles and cans all over the place, along with the torn lure packages. I went over there one day, and I found lobster shells along the path. I have to assume they brought the bugs over there and boiled 'em one night. You'd think they'd at least throw the shells in the water.
Yeah its really a shame. It makes me extra disappointed when its lure packages because you KNOW it was someone fishing...
I know this might sound silly but what I try to do is pick up at least one piece of trash each trip. yeah sometime I'll round up a trashbags worth and bring it to a barrel but if I don't do that then I do the whole "take out what I took in +1" routine.

yeah i always carry a second big black trash bag and pick stuff up
that i see
funny about that is the looks you get when u go and pick up others people trash other people think ur a moron for doing that
once i saw two young fellows trow their trash out at a spot so i picked it up and followed them down to the next dunkin took the trash and dumped it in the back of their truck when they were inside
they saw me came screaming at me and i just told them that they seemed to have forgotten something down the road
dumb faces with open mouths but not one word more
seems especially the agegroup 18 - 25 have that behavior and it makes me sad that their parents seem not to give them the proper education
also i get the funny looks when i pick up a penny or dime of the street but who fkn cares
