ffs that's enough to make you give up fishing....or commit
murder, I complain when a person walks up to my swim and
at the top of their voice say "good morning", as you say
we just want peace and quiet, hope things get better for you in 21.

Bloody hell that sounds crazy I couldn't put up with that I'd be fuming, does that actually happen that often?

i think people that use drones to find fish are cheating themself,
eg when darrel peck did the day ticket no privileges !, and i got told they had the drone up loads everyday to find the carp and move onto them with zigs, even finding them ,then waiting for people to go, to move into there peg,
and you dont read these things when you see pics of people holding up yet another 40lb carp etc, why make the sport easy, when we get the greatest feeling when we do the hard work and it pays off, its just cheating yourself

Yes mate on a regular basis if you fish at certain times
nowadays i am more particular about what times to fish ...so now no more w/e's or bank holidays and to a degreee school holidays
as i said in my previous post about the poverty ...also alot of people here live in appartments in towns etc so they have no outside space of their own so a day out beside a lake is a familly occasion which means party time for them
the other downside is the rubbish they leave behind
even if the bin is 5mtrs away they aint walking that far ...so by the end of the summer the most popular swims also look like a landfill site with the odd pile of **** thrown in for good measure lol
i have friends that have confronted people leaving rubbish behind etc etc and they have always came off worst and are now soo scared they do not fish on there own anymore
i had 3 morrocans fish next to me and once they had realised there was no phone signal and the beer was giving them dutch courage they thought they would rob me ....except they were too drunk and i was sober with a baseball bat ...the outcome ended in my favour ...BUT it was pretty f*****g scary at the time and i wouldn't want to repeat the experience
this is the real side of fishing here that most people don't read about
give me an English day ticket / circus water and i would be as happy as a pig in ****

Is it possible to fit boat to air missiles to bait boats and air to sea torpedoes to drones? That would make life interesting.
Of course, both RC items have their place but it's the tossers that think they are 'must-haves' that are the problem.

I can just see groups of people setting off drones from the car park in order to see what swims are free....
I want piece and quiet so I would be far from the car park...in the not too distant future I can see these drones
Hovering in front of my bivvy door cause these nuggets in the car park will wanna see who you are....some people using these drones wouldn't think twice about dropping a load of bait right in your swim when they know your a mile away......I say ban them

The whole of life has become a big cheat; politicians, business, social media, elections, referendums, footballers, driving standards, carp fishing, you name it... Unfortunately many values have changed during the last decade or so, and that ain't rose tinted spectacles; the soul has been lost from many things in pursuit of one aspect, MONEY...

will be interesting to see in 2031 when terrys 4th book will come out if he will still be jumping up/down the trees the whole day or he will just be drinking tea in his bivvy and looking on screen where the fish are

Lol great footage i know but to use them for getting on to fish is against the spirit of angling in my old dinasour eyes.

I think I recall Mr Crabtree getting upset over how the fixed spool reel was removing the skill from casting, but I could be misremembering.
