It's no better than fox hunting or badger baiting or hare coursing imo.

Fox hunters and badger baiters don't tend to have fox/badger stew when they get home though do they?

On the contrary, most anglers, especially responsible ones, tend to either use barbless hooks and return their catch without removing from the water or touching with their hands, or they'll put them to use and reap the benefits such as a hearty meal, similar to how early humans survived on a daily basis.

Really? No doubt the fish enjoy their participation in this "sport".

I've not seen many anglers who look fit enough to survive without McDonalds on a daily basis. Still good to know they're keeping the hunter gatherer dream alive.

and there was me thinking they were just sad bar stewards hiding from their wives.

Yes...... Outdoors doing something other than sitting in his house, on the internet, typing and probably with one hand while clutching a tissue in the other like some on here. :whistle:

gents when you next enjoy that walk along the river bank, lake canal, etc ducks swing by, fish jumping etc a nice picture.
now picture this, angling banned, your walking along the bank, no swans, ducks thick coating of god knows what on the surface and under neath cause jonny twat face has just dumped his barrel of toxic waste into the water because there is know one to see it,


anglers are the first and best line of defence, they are out there 24 7 every day of the year and notice change

so does that change your perspective, i could go on about other county sports that aid the country side but the ignorant are to narrow minded to be bothered with the truth.

Hi viz with "POLITE" on the back winds me up

I used to do a lot of fishing, freshwater & sea.... spose it could be cruel thinking about it, who knows what stress & pain the fish go through. But i got bored with freshwater and only occasionally go sea fishing now... and i eat or give away what i catch.
Dont really agree with hunting any animals just for sport, well its for the enjoyment of the hunter really isn't it !
I do think anyone is justified in hunting & killing any animal if they're going to eat it.
