Warmies Trash
Hi guys,
I was fishing the Warmies the other day and was pretty disgusted by the amount of discarded bottles, plastic bait bags, nests of line etc etc.
To those who fish and leave all of their crap lying around, please take up ten pin bowling or something as real fishermen don't leave balls of death for birds to get caught up in, especially when there are bins nearby.
Clean it up people, everyone can play their part.

Re: Warmies Trash

Re: Warmies Trash
I've never been to the warmies but from pics and videos i've seen i'm always shocked with the amount of loose rubbish and other crap left all along the rocks, i've never seen it quite like that at any other place i've fished. If I ever go I might bring along a garbage bag and try to pick some stuff up but it wouldn't surprise me if it would return to the same state in a few weeks.

Re: Warmies Trash
It's people like this that end up getting the public access to areas locked up and then they rant about being locked out. I'm sick to death of seeing the river left this way after all these city slickers go camping and leave the rubbish behind as if theres a garbo that'll come around and pick it up for them. I'm starting to think that locking up the forests is a good idea because of pricks like this.

Re: Warmies Trash
It’s a disgrace it’s happening at too many accessible locations.

Re: Warmies Trash
Was there yesterday for a quick afternoon fishing. Such a nice spot to fish, jog, picnic, etc. But yes, the amount of rubbish around isn't funny.

Re: Warmies Trash
People who leave their **** laying around is almost right up their with theives in my book.
It is something i hate, whether i am fishing or camping or doing whatever else! I believe in the practice of "leave no trace" wherever possible.
I was camping last week up on the Big River near Eildon and the spot we chose had broken bottles, exploded butane cans, drinking cans, toilet paper and empty shotgun shells amongst many other things all over the place. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with these idiots. Do us all a favour and stay home. Leave the outdoors to those who respect it.

Re: Warmies Trash
To be honest, I find this unforgivable! Its not hard to throw your **** in the bait bucket less than 5 meters away and if you are in a busy spot and have walked down the way I am betting most of us aren't exactly dressed in our best suit so just jam the **** in a pocket or sock.
WHAT REALLY MAKES ME MAD! All the bloody cigarette butts.

Funny you mention it, my fishing jacket is full of tag ends I've cut off and lure packets.BiDDo wrote: ↑Sat Oct 19, 2019 9:43 amTo be honest, I find this unforgivable!

A lot of people just have zero respect for other and for the environment they're getting their fish from unfortunately. They're probably the ones whinging the loudest when places get locked up after the locals crack the ***** at the mess.
