the disgusting ammo jetty
Submitted by Bazooked on Sun, 2012-12-30 10:54
went for a bait run this morning chasing scalies and wasnt dissapointed as usuall, except for all the shyte laying around! i could not believe how much rubbish was on the jetty, from broken beer bottles to fishing line, busted up chairs you name it, it was there!
i was about to packup and head home when i saw a senior citizen rockup with large garbage bags and a claw, had a brief chat to her, she does this 3 times a week and most of the time fills the 3 bags every time, and there not little!, she was saying how this is my beach and its just getting worse and whishes the jetty was never there, and after seeing the state of the jetty i was wishing the same!

YEP KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
I don't go there much anymore but might drop down if I've got some time to kill, The anti-social behaviour and dis-regard for other persons using the jetty has been going on for years. I wonder what the council are planning with the works their down on the entry road.
Old fishermen never die they just smell that way.

It's not just the jetty
It's not just the jetty either, all the bait packets, line, bottles etc.. wash up on the beach a couple hundred meters north of it, near the new surf club. It's disappointing to see how bad it has become over the last year or two. The missus and I always end up with a handful of crap for the bins after a walk.

That's just rude hey.. even
That's just rude hey.. even though it's "wrong " if their practically standing on your toes being asshats like that i woulda kicked their gear into the drink. Always thought a rule of thumb was atleast 10m or so.. bit of personal space and respect you know. Times sure have changed since I fished as a young bloke.

What makes it worse is some
What makes it worse is some old lady cleans up their shit. There are some real arseholes out there with zero respect for the ocean. I would have slipped the old girl a fifty and helped her clean it. Why should she clean it up. Makes my blood boil. Sorry for the winge.
All men are equal before fish....

thank god I only fish ammo
thank god I only fish ammo at/before dawn.. I'm not the best with crowds and seeing all them packed like that.. wow.. i'd be pushing people in.. look at the right corner.. wtf is that seriously!.. how someone doesnt get hooked on a cast i don't know!
on another note I'd love to meet that lady.. give her a heartfelt thanks and even an apple or pineapple.. council should be there atleast 2-3 times a week with rangers patrolling 3-6 times a day/night.. I work for a shire so I know that keeping a presence and keeping it good helps in the long run.

You should see under it,
You should see under it, plenty of rubbish on the bottom, from chairs, to rods.
If you're ever running low on sinkers, go for a dive on it.
