mullies_chaser 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Well went down to a beach at westlakes for a little wayde and flick (so I thought), Arrived in the carpark when a white station wagon pulls up (they looked drunk) and yelled something out I couldn't understand, so meh brushed it off my soldiers, anyway I was fishing when I here someone walking along the grass and I look around and it looks like the same people that drove pass yelling something at me, there was 2 of them, the woman was obviously drunk as she was staggering but long story short I threatened to call the cops on them and they left after that. Apart from that all I had was 1 soft bite from a little itty bitty bream.I fish in the "illegal" bits and get yelled at by the locals, I fish in the "allowed" bits and get harrased by drunks! ON A SATURDAY MORNING! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

samboman 319 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I used to fish the Port at night time, but not anymore to many idiots out there just looking for trouble {SMILIES_PATH}/angry.gif:(" title="Angry" /> Even country jettys ay night can be dangerous, was at Pt hughes around midnight when a drunken tool staggered out on to the jetty and started swinging a huge knife around saying to people " You wanna go". Felt like just taking a big run up a kicking him off the jetty {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gifSambo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

masobilt 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thats quite unfortunate to come across such people on the lake as i have fished many areas day and night and all manner of hours and the only people i have exchanged words with are councillors from charles sturt council regarding their discrimmatory signs against fisherman, Have observed them yelling all type of abuse at fishing patrons even ones with young children in tow. This council is breaking the law by stopping fisherman using all public areas of the lake ...." IT'S DISRIMANATION AGAINST PEOPLE PERSONS OR GROUPS FACILLITATING USE OF A PUBLIC AREA".... Which is written in the australian constitution.... They threaten, they call police but no one has ever been fined, any fine challenged would not hold in a court of law yet they harras and abuse us.......SHAME SHAME SHAME on you charles sturt council for attempting to make crimminals out of people facillitating use of PUBLIC AREAS.... {SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
