Grubs on Par with WBB

There can be an unfortunate flipside when fishermen leave unwanted lines and tackle lying around.

Unfortunately a spot that I have been fishing lately get a lot of shore fishermen, who don't believe in taking their mess away. Everything from fishing line, bourbon cans to waste bait packets are continuously left there.

I have also noticed fishing line tangles left on prominent branches overhanging the water, which would lead up to tangling water birds.

That's what happens when you have unrestricted access to areas that are within easy reach.

The solution is more regular enforcing and on the spot fines or regulated (aka limited) access.

Unfortunately, when it comes to rec fishing, enforcement is generally a joke.
