I'm not there to clean up someone's else 's mess. I have more concern and respect for the birds and animals ....including domestic animals than I have for the human entitled slobs that sadly , inhabit this planet .

Fish Farmer Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Only spot I clean is some Way Points on my GPS, used to catch fish in a spot years ago, but I learned fish swim. I must have a hundred plus Perch spots at crystal beach that no fish are there. I'm always in the boat and my garbage stays in the boat.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikeattolah Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I always clean up when I can, and sometimes the fish gods reward you! I've found plenty of good tackle cleaning up. Nothing bugs me more than cleaning up fishing garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tolly82 Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 I don't fish from shore often but will go out of my way if I see something floating in the lake. Last week it was a few of those large alphabet mylar balloons. O should have taken the time to figure out what it actually said but simply popped what was left and trashed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto Ty ....with the alarm set up I scan the ground for "gifts" , and have found tackle . Mono line can be easily spotted in the sunshine as well as broken glass which I picked up on my last carp trip....also found a small set of pliers on the rocks . It's not always the anglers that toss trash at our shore spots . "Some" people with food & drinks believe they can toss their trash anywhere if there's not a garbage can handy . It isn't going to change so I would suggest the cities hire enough people to clean up trash like they did many years ago . (nail & stick ) Two stories in the Standard today ....St.Catharines beaches closed to outside visitors (garbage , urinating, parking) .....Port Colborne beaches open because it's illegal stop anyone from using..... ????? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishGuy3754 Posted July 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Thanks for all the replies. I definitely make sure to grab the line cause of the animals. Too man videos of them all tied up or trapped in them. The only benefit of all the line left is that you can find lures, metal leaders (I don't normally use them), jig heads, etc... I don't think this is going to change anytime soon unless they do impose further restricted or make some big changes. What we need is star trek tech, something pocket size or small box so we can turn the found line and garbage into new lures/baits. Like feed it old line and it will melt it down and turn it into new line. (no idea on quality of line though lol) That will make it more worth while and encourage more people to not toss old line.

Yes , Star Trek tech would be nice....like a drone coming in and tasering the idiots who toss line ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishingClyde Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 I always clean up garbage... usually just a grocery bag or 2... I just find a park garbage can and toss it there... I'll never get it 100 percent as long as its cleaner than when I left I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
