Default Fishing opposite
Was fishing last weekend and had nothing to do the day after so decided to fish late had a couple of fish nothing of any size but was just enjoying being able to be on the river.About 9.30 i counted 9 lads marching down the oppisite bank dont know where youre going to get 9 of you in and give yourself a good chance of a fish but no worries they went further up river good luck to them.Anyway not sure of the time but it was well into darkness and guess what 3 or 4 lads not sure exactly how many as it was pitch black plonged them selfs down straight opposite me coughing and spluttering and banging about,cheers my fishing ruined packed up and went.Went on last night about 16.30 had 1 about 3lb lovely fish realy deep golden coulour nice one.About 6ish you guessed it not an angler in sight on the opposit bank and what happens plonk straight in front of me again,there must be miles of bank for the lad to sit in cant believe it.Now i know its not my river but in my eyes all your doing is cutting your chances of catching and as we all know it's not easy catching on the rivers.Not only are you both fishing the same water but you are upping youre chances of spoking the fish by putting more lines in the water,now if the rivers up and your fishing close in no problem its not water craft as i probably have non but just common sense.As for watercraft i decided to get up and move when he started smashing his bank stick in with a rock well pi==ed off,dont think he did much as about 9.30 he went:confused
If you are on this forum do yourself a favour mate if someones fishing opposite your favourite peg have a mooch about and find a peice of water you can fish yourself the fish move around and work at drawing them into your swim you never know you may find a couple more favourite pegs o and make as little noise as possible it helps.

It happened to me yesterday on the ribble. No anglers for a good mile either side of me and 2 fellas plonked themselves pretty much right opposite me. 'Stabbing' banksticks in and shouting at each other though they were only feet apart good job there was plenty of empty space for me to move to- why couldn't they do the same?
