These sort of people are found anywhere you go, it's not just a fishing thing. I fish a few waters including day ticket, I tend to ignore them and concentrate on what i'm doing. The alternative is as you have, give it up. I love my fishing to much to let them drive me away from it!

It's a whole new breed of anglers. The louder you are the better you are
I'm quite confident in saying that if some of them behaved like they do in some of the pubs I know they would be sparked out in minutes
Is it not supposed to be a relaxing and tranquil pastime?
Keep yourself to yourself, and just get on with your fishing. Do not fish popular or circuit waters it attracts knob heads like flys round ****. That's my advice
Personally I wish they would shoot 5 per day

Gordon Ramsay did a programme on chefs and sniff, many chefs are on it.
Doesn't help that for many the hours are so long, often 18hour days.

I am with you on most of your post and as a result, I barely fish this country at all with the exception that I have recently put together a small kit for Carp Angling on a couple of local rivers and drains.
I have one social trip to France on an exclusive to us commercial lake a year and as many trips as possible to public waters where I hardly see another human and that is just the way I like it.
Pukka, Get in and back of the net are just not for me.
I hope you find a place to enjoy your Angling the way you wish.

The worse thing about carp fishing today is all these new anglers who have had no experience with general fishing (fishing with a float for example), they come in with all their snazzy camo cloths and sunglasses, and gelled hair. And they love their techno \ jungle music.
They think carp fishing is 'cool' .
That's why I can't stand alot of these youtube videos from the big tackle companies who embrace this stuff in their videos.

Simple answer to that for me. I don't watch them unless they get a decent review on here
Fishing is many different things to many people and they can do whatever they like as long as it does not effect me.
There is one thing and one thing alone with all this bull**** and bravado. It's all about how you conduct yourself and thats where all these monkeys get it all completely wrong

In terms of bankside etiquette class A drug use is nothing new . . .neither is drug / alcohol fuelled bankside violence.
Linear St Johns over 20 years ago now I witnessed regular rows over swim rights and 'geezas' on charles / MDMA (one way of keeping alert I suppose) to alleviate the presumably dull time period between bleeps. . .
Remember fishing with a mate there once and being woken up by a full on pitched battle with lads weilding banksicks and mallets . .police were called - lovely! Never went back to Linear after that and swore to never set foot near a circuit dayticket water again . . . . . .dickheads are always dickheads - its in their DNA
PS. Alright Ken! How goes it? Glad to hear your still smashing the float! Cheers Belch

Made me laugh that. I have fished it twice, St. John's. Second time was the last time
I fished near those tall populars are they? It was busy. Lad was on the point. 3 nob heads rolled up just down from me towards the shallow area and proceeded to spod the whole area and thrash the water to a foam. Lad on the point was a bit pissed off and threatened to flatten them. Me and my mate were pissing ourselves, went on for about 3 hours, shouting insults at each other. The only disappointment was that they didn't smash each other to pieces as they were threatening. A nights fishing with free boxing, with a few beers, quids in

When it affects their work and ability to keep up in service is when it gets to me. You gotta remember as nick says we often work 18 hour day's, a few time around Christmas I have worked weeks where I did everyday starting at 6:30am on breakfast no break except a couple fags and didn't finish till midnight or so cos of Christmas functions then full clean down, top up the section. I lived off of caffeine and nicotine and love of the job. It's no wonder some need the chemical pick me up. It's never been for me tho not been tempted ever. But yeah when it affects their performance then I care.
It's even harder considering my cousin took his own life a few years ago now because he felt he couldn't get a handle on his addiction

Nods are nods and carp fishing, being the most popular branch of the sport is fly paper for these hammerheads.
Pukka! Munga! Get in! It's just modernity in practice.
Cobblers to that, escape,find refuge, it's still there if you search for it.
