- Well, after hearing about a mark on Loch Long, that was very popular due to the quantities of fish being caught. To say I was annoyed with the state of the place when I arrived, is an understatement.
I was in 2 minds whether to post this video or not. I'm not after a load of praise for this, I'm just doing my bit. What I want to do, is highlight that its the minority that cause these issues. Most anglers, and campers I meet are very respectful of the areas they visit. Clear their own rubbish away and usually take a little more if its there.
Please guys, if everyone just takes their own rubbish with them, no one would have to clean up at all!!
As cliche as this may sound, leave nothing but footprints, and we can all enjoy areas like this for years to come! - บันเทิง
Just found your channel and I think you are 100% correct about what you say about people leaving their crap around. Well done for picking their rubbish up.
Glad you agree mate, it really spins my brain at time how some people's minds work...or rather don't!
dead right ...bloody scum with rods ..they aint real fishermen
I'm not a fisherman, but I did enjoy your video. I will say most of the human race just don't care about the litter problem, but thankfully there are people like your self who give a damm. Well done 👍
Thanks James, you don't need to be a fisherman or even a camper, to realise when there's a problem!
Scumbags doesn't fully cover the type of people who are happy to foul our beautiful world. Yep, well done you. Good fishing. 👍
Clean up effort! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Better luck with the fishing!
My mate Hamish McDougall had the biggest trouser conga I've ever seen. Are you related, James?
Anglers do care about the environment, more than the average citizen... And more than the 'casual' for want of a better word fisherman...
Thanks for highlighting this problem that scars many marks around us , as anglers we have responsibility and should not be surprised that mindless actions by others could harm the future of our sport
Exactly mate, I'm not looking for medals or anything, just to show that we aren't all the same! And hopefully the comments in here will show its the few that get us tarred with that brush!!
That’s usually the reason they have no fishing signs in areas. Cause one or group of people decides it’s no big deal but when your there the next day and the ranger or whoever is in charge of the fishing area thinks it’s you. But I always pick up the beer cans and worm canisters so when the authorities stop by I can show that I’m cleaning the junk from the idiots who shouldn’t be allowed. Amazing how they will probably be all upset when there’s no trespassing eventually and they will wonder why did this happen. Ridiculous that they can’t see basic cause and effect. But whatever can’t fix stupid
Good on you. I will never be able to understand how people can trash places like that, when it's not difficult to take your crap with you. I don't even like leaving a roll up butt anywhere, let alone all that! Nicely done.
They're certainly a special breed Mat mate, one I don't think will ever be fully understood!
Stumbled on this but as an outside person - diver, forager, climber - it was heartening to see someone speaking out and dealing with it. I am always baffled by why people go to beautiful spots and leave them in a mess.
It baffles me too mate! Why ruin it?
Your a comedian I see
Watching from Ireland , very hard to believe anglers would ever leave rubbish like that thrown around that's shocking , fair play to you for the clean up.
Tell me about it James, I wouldn't class these people as anglers, they're more like tourists!
James, I see plenty of shite like that here ( irish ) whenever I go fishing...cans, bbq trays & deadbait plastic bags are the most common... its a disgrace... 😒
😎👍☘🍺
@@peterfitzpatrick7032 bad wherever it happens, yobs not real anglers but I guess all will be tarred with the same brush unfortunately.
I'm hoping a few people see this video and realise that we are not all the same. But I see already, on spots I fish, the publics perception of fishing is going downhill!
Well said. Angling litter is a big issue! Respect for cleaning up 👍👏 Subscribed
Cheers Richard, and welcome along!
Discarded tackle drives me mad
Just found your channel and I'm so impressed. Subbed straight away - I've also hauled away other people's rubbish from beautiful places that have been spoiled. Power to your elbow fella! Dave.
Cheers Dave, great to have you along! The worst bit is it took about 20 miles to find somewhere to dump it, and that was a supermarket, local authorities aren't completely blameless
Great stuff bud from a disgusted scot, welcome anytime.im,from ayrshire and was up Loch lomond side,in the summer and the well known spots at duck Bay and the carports at Luss were absolutely strewn with rubbish and it was shocking to see it like that.thanks again Bud.
First video of yours I’ve seen , that clean up earned my sun that’s for sure, well done 👍👍🤠
Cheers buddy, thanks for the sub 👍🏼
Yup got my sub also for the clean up he done👍
Thanks mate, really appreciate it 👍🏼
Good effort on the clean up mate 👌 boils my blood seeing this on any fishing marks
I had to trim down the rant, it was quite blue, put me in a mood for the day!
well done for picking up the rubbish it just makes your blood boil I see it all the time cheers and tight lines
I struggle with the fact people can carry their stuff there, but not back once it's empty! These people must still live with their parents!!
Takes no time to fill a bin bag and whack in the car.. disgrace. Well in mate 👏
That's it mate, always have a bag in my box. If there's a bit about I'll fill it, but this was extreme!!
Thankyou for cleaning the place up when your fishing. I do the same thing. It frustrates me that so many people just throw their rubbish where-ever. Thankyou again. 😀👍🐟
I agree with you, but thanks for also doing your bit!
Hi mate you ok, well done on the clean up , i'm the same it gets me so mad. All the best from GRIMSBY.
Hey Carl mate! Yeah i get disappointed to see it, but this one got me real mad!
Big Big pat on the back for the clean up fella. See it at almost every mark as some people just don't give a damn.
Shame the fish didn't want to play ball but thanks for sharing buddy.
Cheers Richard mate, hopefully the fish will reward me next time I visit that spot haha
Good man. Proper fisherman, the plastic fisherman I see in the summer ( fine weather fisherman). Get on my nerves,and quite often spoil the session. Keep up the good work.👍
Agreed mate, fish all year round, then summer comes, first sign of mackerel, and your favourite spot is crowded out with tourists leaving crap everywhere 😔
Hi mate, just found your channel which is excellent. I'm from Scotland and do most of my fishing in Scotland and was ashamed of the state of that mark, unfortunately it happens all too often around the country. Any way glad you had a rant about it and keep up the great work. Douglas
Hey Douglas, glad you found us! Yeah it's too common to have to clean a mark you're fishing, but this one was possibly the worst I've seen! Either way, I just hoped people would see its not all anglers that are like that!
As a lifelong fisherman I applaud your efforts to clear up the crap left by some of the lazy morons who seem to leave rubbish everywhere they go. It’s a constant problem. You did a great job!
I do try to pick up as much cast off fishing line and other abandoned gear as I can. You are a great example to us all! Tight lines on your next trip.
Thanks James! Most anglers I know do the same. Maybe that's as I couldn't be around folk who think this sort of thing is OK 🤬
Very well said. You’ve highlighted the growing and important problem that is damaging the image and reputation of angling throughout the uk.
I wish you tight lines in all your fishing
Cheers buddy! Looking at ways I can make a difference to what, like you say, is a growing issue!
I hate untidy anglers. Tidyness is all part of the Art! Nice spot, & yes, the Hermit Crab saved you from a 'blank'! Nice video.
Cheers Vijay, hopefully next time the spot will reward me with some fish 🤞🏼
You're a guy straight from my heart ! I see the rubbish that lorry drivers throw out of their cabs every day when travelling the motorways, they wait until there's the perfect moment, either slowing down at a junction or a set of traffic lights on a roundabout, this discarding of rubbish drives me mad and I wish the culprits could be caught by secret cameras, great job clearing up mess
Cheers, David! Yeah, I agree mate, they just know their cabs would be a pigsty of they didn't as they're too lazy to clean after themselves
Well done moving all that rubbish m8 and hope you have better luck on the next session.
Cheers Paul, I think an overnight session in summer would produce 👌🏽
Well done on clearing the shit ! I often walk my local river bank and collect so much shit. Most not fishermen. We live in a rubbish dump here in the Uk. 😳
Unfortunately mate, the UK is a place that rewards the laziest of society these days!
Good on you for highlighting this and taking it away👏 Really hate seeing shit others leave behind, I don't get what goes (or doesn't) through their minds.
Cheers mate! Just wanted to show we aren't all the same. It's easy to see stuff like that and tar us all with the same brush!
PS. Can't believe you've watched one of my videos 😅
Nothing... no brains. I have stopped fishing some spots due to the rubbish.
Thats a shame mate, where's local for you?
@theawfulangler it's a good video and a great channel name👍👍 The more of us 'tubers that highlight it the better and maybe we make a bit of a difference 🤞🤞 Keep up the good work
@@theawfulangler Norfolk, after the holiday season some places are a tip.
I think the same way and am regularly annoyed by how carelessly people treat nature. Thanks for the video.
No problem Tino, it's a big shame, annoys me so much!
'TAKE NOTHING but photographs...LEAVE NOTHING but footprints!'
Not an angler, but glad I found your vid. GGs for taking care of that beautiful bit of Scotland. At least the weather was nice! lol
Thanks, yeah the weather and countless fish made up for it 🤣
Used to fish it regular. The most of it comes from macky bashers and not all are locals who think they can do what they like. Not the the first time Ive had to bag it myself but decided this year is the last we will fish it. Fair play for cleaning it up.
I've reported the state of it to the local authorities in the hope they do something about it. Its a promising spot, I'd like to go back, just hope it's in better shape...and with more fish 🤣
unfortunately we live in a time of prevalent nihilism, hedonism. seeing folks such as yourself who care gives me hope. let s keep the embers burning for people who are connected to the natural world and are not lost. we are fortunate. cheers.
Thanks, unfortunately, we live in a disposable world these days, where no one takes pride in anything anymore. I'm determined to try and make a change no matter how small it may be!
Just subbed, good to see this video going viral, good content too! Good luck 👍👍👍
Cheers buddy, to say I was concerned about the poor fishing content, its not doing too bad haha
Good on you for clearing up other people's rubbish. Shocking the amount of crap that was left behind. Subbed to your channel, looking forward to checking out your other fishing videos.
Thanks mate, good to have you onboard!
Well done on picking up somebody else’s rubbish 👍👍👍
Shame you didn’t have much success, but you deserve all the very best in the future for your good deeds 👏👏👏
Cheers David! I'll go back at some point, hopefully I'll get some rewards then 🤞🏼
1st time look at your video I've subscribed because 1, I enjoyed the video. 2,you picked up the crap that wasn't yours, sir you are a top fella 👍 thank you .👏👏
Thanks Rodders, really appreciate it!
You are a man after my own heart you are a a great example.
Thanks Albert!
I'm only an armchair fisher these days but enjoy watching fishing videos and stumbled across your channel. As someone who loves our countryside, it disgusts me to see so much rubbish being left lying around. Thank you for doing your bit to clean up this wee part of Scotland...appreciate it ! 👍🙂
Cheers Mackenzie! Armchair fishing is great, almost always catch, can fish 365, and no need to get wet!
It makes me mad, I couldn't just walk away and leave it. Hopefully people seeing this will think twice next time they're out, even if just 1 or 2 people change that's a win 🤞🏼
Fair play to you for picking up all those w nkers rubbish. . On a lighter note it might have been worth chucking a few heavy lures out to tempt a Pollock
I did have a go with the lures the day before when I first found that spot, but was that psd off with the rubbish didn't hang around long. Definitely give it another go next year though
Loved the video and a man after my own heart it really winds me up about the scroats that just can't be arsed to clean up after themselves, many of time I've cleaned up like yourself but when I fish I have a bag special for the rubbish, it takes seconds, well done for cleaning it up your a credit
Thanks Dave! Always have bin bags in my tackle box. If it's clean, rubbish goes back in my bait box. If there's crap around, bin bag comes out, and I do a bit through the session!
Well done for landing that hermit crab,.Another good video, you are a hero for dealing with all that rubbish I've had to clean up before and I hate it when I go to a lovely place and see that it gives decent people a bad name. PS I look forward to your next video. All the best Mark.
Cheers Mark! It just wouldn't have sat right with me, fishing and leaving all that rubbish behind. Next video is edited up ready to drop Sunday night mate so keep your eyes peeled 👍🏼
Love your honesty re clip not unhooked , happens to me lol , and thank you for clearing the surrounding area up of rubbish ,
Cheers Melvyn, it's called the awful angler for a reason, I'll show you everything from PBs to the cock ups, blanks and everything inbetween 😅
thank for the time on shore AND the clean up..did that the last time i went to an old haunt. took out allot of trash lol
It's a shame that we have to spend our time doing it, due to other peoples laziness. But thanks for doing your bit to help too Mark!
Fair play and well done for clearing that mess up. You shouldn’t have to do it, but you did.
Cheers buddy, you're right, but it is what it is!
Well done mate! I was once asked to help tow out fishermen after they got their car stuck on the grass at a popular mark at Loch Etive. When I looked over my shoulder I saw they'd left their bait bags and all their shite in a fire pit filled with green wood and brush. Told them to tidy up their shite or they'd be left without my help. Leaving crap around is endemic in the angling community, we need to be better than that - and you are. Cheers!
I'd love to be in the position to make them collect their crap. People do seem to think leaving it in a fire pit is acceptable, until it blows off down the road 🙄
Nice content I come across this stuff all the time not to that scale but either way spoils it for all us proper anglers.il give you a sub mate fair play 👍
Cheers buddy! Same here mate, always rubbish, not always anglers, but hopefully people will see this and see we aren't all that way!
@@theawfulangler yeah I like to go out and enjoy my surroundings nature and wildlife it ruins it seeing other people's mess but it's nice to see other anglers like you willing to keep it clean nice job 👍
Same here mate and gladly most of Scotland we visited was unspoilt
Great video, I just love your sense of humour, it's brilliant. Well done for doing the right thing with those bottles and cans. I did the same fishing on Loch Doon, the layby was full of discarded glass bottles, so I bagged them up and took them home. The wife saw them in our dustbin and thought I had had a party! Leaving glass is the worst, they can burst tyres or worse. I seldom find this in England, but in Scotland, it is a regular finding.
Thanks Richard good on you! I think it's easier to get away with in Scotland, and social media has drawn such crowds up there lately I think the authorities have been slow to react! Hopefully things will change 🤞🏼
Yes Absolutely agree with you and the others. No sense to it at all. I live in a beautiful part of the world lovely beaches mountains lakes, come summer there is trash every where, and the worst seems to be the people night fishing. I hate Pitza boxes and small BQ tins. From now on I shall carry a few black bin bags in my box, can't understand why didn't think of it before instead of just remonstrating about it.
Shouldn't be the case mate, but at least it makes the slow sessions a bit more rewarding 👍🏼
Credit for cleaning up the mess. A good lesson for others.
Let's hope a couple people change their ways 🙏
Good on you man liked and subscribed 👌 👍
Cheers Leighton, appreciate it 👍🏼
And that messing of Scotland is common place. I've seen it serval times on the upper Tay several times over the decades, Loch Lyon this year, and even as far north as Loch Shin... Cleaned up drug taking paraphernalia, cans and waste line from Loch Quoich a couple of years back. Sadly this under-class are many, prolific and repeaters, and your rant is well received by the great majority.
It's a shame mate! I know round the NC500 they have employed rangers to keep things in order. Seems its not the only place they're needed. I just worry about when these sorts breed and what they will turn out to be!
Well done mate...I used to fish the river Swale in Yorkshire on a number of stretches and they have all gone to syndicate because of a'holes like that.
I don't blame locals for enforcing that. Unfortunately, when that's done and then not policed, again, it's the honest anglers who suffer.
Cleaning effort was brilliant!
Well done!
Thanks Glen
Well done for cleaning that area up, that was impressive. People like you are very welcome in Scotland. Happy Fishing pal.
Thanks Steve! I know us southerners get a bad rep, but we aren't all the same
I know I'll probably never set foot on that spot but thanks for picking up someone else's shit. People treating marks like that is good for no one
No problem Jason, think it was tesco that said every little helps 👍🏼
@@theawfulangler Tesco only said it, you done it. I like finding these smaller fishing channels, no ads and a bit of heart put into it goes a long way
Good on you for cleaning up. Glorious weather for fishing. TFP
Thanks mate, blanking is much better on a sunny warm beach though 😅
😫Such a shame. Thanks for tidying this beautiful country
Thanks for watching
I've done wild camping in Scotland many times and the stuff people leave behind is truly shocking, people go there because it's beautiful, I just don't get it, the mindset of some people !
Nothing but lazy selfishness I think Earl!
Good effort on the #LeaveNoTrace points. Whenever I head out - whether fishing, hiking or whatever - I always have a black bag or two in my pack and usually end up cleaning up creap left behind by other people. Keep it up 👍
Yeah, same here mate, it makes me feel like I'm giving something back, but it shouldn't be that way!
First time seeing you, will be subscribing, good man
Awesome, thank you!!
Mate it happens the world over. Here in Australia too. Everyone demands respect, but do they earn it, or deserve it ? You certainly do. Well done !
Thanks buddy! Like so many things respect just doesn't carry the same weight it did when I was growing up!
Good man for taking away that crap, fair play
Cheers PJ
Sadly, that is just like the beaches and fishing places are left to look like in the Western Cape, South Africa!
My compliments to you for cleaning up
Thanks, it's a shame to hear that this issue is worldwide!
I fish all over Scotland and this shite happens everywhere, even on the wildest of lochs.
It's disappointing mate! I will say that bins/recycling points seem scarce in Scotland, but that's no excuse for this!!
Good on you m8 well done keep it up top man
Thanks Andy, will do!
Well done, looking after the land, thank you
Anytime David 👍🏼
You are absolutely right re the C R A P and it drives me nuts when even in what most think is wilderness let alone popular fishing spots and u come across stuff. I mean come on! You are at such a wonderful place for fishing and the whole scene is buggered by those who are probably living in their own crap. Great video. I'm going to sub. Just looked up where you were (well where Loch Long is anyway) wow looks like a great part of the world to fish.
Cheers mate! Baffles me, let's go to a lovely place, and leave it looking like 💩
This one has gone viral well done. You’ll be on the up now.
It really has mate, to say I nearly didn't put it out, I'm glad I did! Hope you're well?
Top marks for clearing up the rubbish and a top man too. It does make you angry that these idiots just cant be bothered to clean up after themselves. Great video really enjoyed it, sorry no fish but that`s why its called fishing and not catching. Subscribed too. Keep putting these great video`s out looking forward already.
Cheers Chris, appreciate the comments mate. I was nervous about putting this video out due to the lack of fishing content, so really pleased with the positive response its got
There is no need for littering. Fished a mark and litter picked. I proper lost it that day. Well done on doing your bit for the fishing community. Best of lucj and cheers for sharing 😃
Cheers David, and same to you, we need to show we aren't all to blame!
Total respect for doing that clean up!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Geniex!
You're a credit to decent anglers!👍👍👍
Thanks Jonathan!
Thank you for looking after the natural site, taking the rubbish away... not what you came to do so thank you :-)
It's not Graham, but I'd be kicking myself if I'd left it in that state!
@theawfulangler I also hate rubbish dumped / left in the countryside... again well done mate.
Fantastic Content. Underrated Channel.
Ahh, thanks, Sandra that means a lot 😊
I live locally, thank you for cleaning up, I wish people would just take it with them. Anyway have subscribed as getting into angling. 👍👍
Thanks Massimo, good luck with your fishing endeavour! Some days it can be easy, some days it's hard going. But you can learn something on every trip. Stick at it but more importantly enjoy it 👍🏼
I’ve had a saying for years now,part of the problem is there are anglers,generally those who are responsible,clear up after themselves and then there are the ones who just go fishing and couldn’t give a 💩about the environment and give all the rest of us a bad name. Anyway,well done you 💪🐟🎣
Spot on Kevin 👌🏽
Nice one for picking that up mate. Shame people ruin these places for others last thing you want is the locals resenting us being there
That's exactly it mate, although, some places it's the locals that ruin it!
In my experience, especially in very rural areas, it's precisely the locals who are causing the problem. Can't tell you how many times I've come across an illegal trash dump where the locals just throw their household trash over the side if the bridge in an otherwise beautiful natural area, and they have trash service available for only a small monthly payment but rather than spend $1.50 a month they throw it in the creek. Makes you wanna cry.
First I've seen, a hermit crab on the line! At first I thought "there it is, the long stare at the bait thinking WTF is this?" .. good reason to stare ... Such a shame, but honestly it ain't just anglers, in fact it mostly ain't anglers! It happens everywhere .. We also go Green Laning in Landrovers and the crap some people leave is mind boggling .. Middle of a mountain someone dumped a fridge!!!! Very sad to see. Well done for calling it out .. ;)
Thanks mate, I gave up laning ages ago due to the bad press it was getting and the general hassle of it all. I'm determined fishing won't go the same way!!
Well done for your clean up efforts pal it's nice to see someone like yourself not afraid to have pop about it and well done with the name and shame
Not afraid to call folk out mate no, especially on this topic, it really grinds my gears!
@@theawfulangler I couldn't agree more with you pal I'm the same there's just no need for it is there, how hard is it to put a rubbish bag in your box or bag when you go out yano it's just lazy gits
This isn’t too far from where I live. I’m glad you had so much success 😂
Thanks :'D next time hopefully will be much better!
Well done mate - great example of how to behave (and definitely not) when enjoying being outdoors. As a camper it’s depressing how ignorant some people can be. Great video from a new subscriber 👍.
Thanks mate, and welcome along!
Social media has a lot to answer for I'm afraid. I'm looking in to ways I can use the popularity of this video (which I never expected) to try and make some change, no matter how small!
Makes me sick too. Good on you for clearing it up 🙏🏻
Thanks Pablo!
From the US, the fisherman's garbage here...same shit! I love your idea of a trip, I'd be the same way. The wife would be all "We won a trip to such and such!" I'd immediately be thinking about how to wet a line during the run!
From the comments on this video mate, it seems like it's the same story worldwide 😔
Sarah knows now, the easiest way to convince me to take a trip, is to find out how good the fishing is first 🤣
great respect mate, some people are a disgrace leaving their rubbish behind and spoil it for everyone else, our beautiful countryside is being wasted by wasters!
I agree Rowan. I'd say these people should be confined to an area and left to live in their own waste...but I don't think they would mind that at all!
Deepest Respect. I hope you land the fish of your dreams as a thanks from the Gods for tidying up in all that smirr. Trash is trash. The ignorant are ignorant. Thank you for your good heart and humility. Better fishing days will come... Sure to.
Very kind of you, thanks John!!
Respect for cleaning up👍🏻👍🏻
Its also a big problem on fishing spots here in the Netherlands
Thanks.
No problem Joes, hopefully next year I'll get to experience the fishinh in Netherlands myself 🤞🏼
@@theawfulangler cool, on the coast?
I caught 2 big sea bass last week.
Well done cleaning up! 👍
Thanks 👍
Well done for tidying up mate, drives me mad when I see this sort of thing, my local beach in Sussex is similar in the summer, more tourists than anglers though.
True anglers usually clean up after themselves, look after the environment and it will look after you.
Fair play to you mate I'm the same where ever I go always take my rubbish. And I pick up all the shite other people leve behind. 👍
Cheers James, and good on you too! Like I say these scum bags are in the minority
Like you , i always find myself cleaning up after all the riffraff that’s been to the beach, i fish the Lincolnshire coast and always bring some black bags to make sure the spot is left in a pristine condition ,
Roll of bin bags is always the first thing in my box!
Unlucky on the Congers bud looked a good spot. Unfortunately reference the rubbish you cannot educate pork. Hope the comp went well this weekend bud 👍.
It was recommended to me, I'm definitely going back again, maybe in the summer to catch the mackerel bathers dumping their rubbish! I wouldn't mind an overnight session there, think that could be really productive. We had a really good weekends fishing, can't wait to get stuck in to editing the vids up this week!
Great video, i was shocked at all the rubbish, absolute scumbags, fishing in such stunning surroundings and the cretins have to spoil it. Makes my blood boil.
Same here Mel, I couldn't fish it and not do something to help out!
Fair play to you for picking up all that rubbish, when I go course fishing there is always rubbish thrown everywhere, total scumbags.
Just no respect at all mate it winds me
Well done for your efforts in clearing all that rubbish up. Seems to be everywhere I go to fish these days. I went fishing on Clacton pier the other night & there was bait wrappers & plastic bottles left in the shelters. There are bins nearby for all the crap. The fishermen will be the first to complain when fishing is banned. Rant over. Tight lines.
Yeah its not good Chris. Cheap gear readily available these days, its an easy access sport if you're local, so invites anyone to come and make a mess. I do think though that councils need to look at their rubbish bins in more detail. So many are prone to winds whipping stuff back out that can make it look a worse situation than it actually is!
Well done you, name and shame, you got my total respect mate...........
Thanks Eric!
Thank for cleaning up . I do the same everything I pike fish it unreal and no need for folk to do this it take less time to clean up
Atleast you got fishing done no fish but a day out in our Scottish weather lol
Thanks again for tidying up
👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🦕😁✌️🤞
No problem buddy, glad I could give a little back! Pike fishing is on my to-do list for next year, possibly on another trip up to Scotland 🤞🏼

well done mate subbed for you, keep it up
Cheers Kevin, really appreciate it 👍🏼
Hi mate,
Ive just found your channel too today. Well done you for clearing up all thatcrap they idiots left. You should have taken pics and reported him to the Police. Those type of people aren't real Angler's.
Subscribed your channel buddy.
Stevie in Fife, Scotland.
Hey Stevie! I have sent a couple of emails out to local authorities, unfortunately one decaying old card wont result in any prosecution so I wont waste my time with the police. It would be good to get A, more bins/recycling facilities in the area and B, cameras setup to catch the idiots in the act!
There's places I cannot go because I end up spending the day lifting other people's rubbish. It's not fair on the kids, take them fishing and they end up picking up rubbish. I have to drive for a few hours to get to where other people don't go but it's worth it. Catching fish is a bonus lol.
That's a big shame, Allan mate! But you're right it's not fair on the kids, I wouldn't let Sarah bring the dogs down to me!
@@theawfulangler Honestly there's a lake that's about 50 mins drive from me, just outside Ballnahinch N.Ireland but the plastic bags, bottles and cans would take a clean up crew a good week and your no sooner have it cleared up and idiots would be leaving rubbish everywhere again. Not sure what's wrong with people who can carry all that stuff out to the middle of nowhere and leave a mess. I've taken some of my best photos after spending 15 mins clearing up after myself and having one last check around before I go and I always have to get the camera out again for that last sunset shot. Like I saud, catching fish is secondary and of course the whole excuse for being there. There's others lakes near that first place I mentioned by they are now closed off with No Fishing signs up because people have no respect for other people's property, they dump rubbish and leave gates open. If I had a spot with a lake on it. I'd have no fishing signs up too lol.
It's good to see you cleared up, as difficult as it is clearing up after others its worthwhile and might make others think twice before leaving a mess.
well done you for tidying up and posting.
Thanks Gary
Agreed 👍 people can carry the rubbish while heavier as full, but too much effort to put in the bin 👏
Spins my mind, it really does!!
Love the setting, murky and moody. Well done for tidying up the crap. Not all fisherman would do that. Really enjoyed the video, I uploaded a video on my channel where I blanked, to show the reality of fishing! You can't plan it, something unexpected always happens! 🎣🎣🎣🤟
Plenty of videos of mine include a blank mate, that's fishing for ya 🤙🏽
@@theawfulangler Just discovered your channel. 👍👍👍
Welcome along!
Not a fisherman either, respect to your great attitude for all to learn, Keep Scotland tidy, a did like your video 👍👍👍
Thanks mate, really appreciate it 👍🏼
Well done on the clean up. Looked like a poor day weather wise. Not easy fishing. Better luck next time.
Cheers Anthony, got to take the rough with the smooth. Overall we had great weather for the time we were in Scotland considering it was the middle of November!
Just found your videos mate you're a top fella for picking all that crap from part time fishing chavs... I've been to Anglesey several times this year to a spot that used to be great for big conger but drawn a blank several times in 2022, it's been a crap year for most species for myself that is. Just a little idea that I use when targeting conger, i inject the stinky fish oils directly into a full joey just before casting using a large gauge veterinary needle, I know it sounds a bit crazy but it gets those stinky fish oils right down to where the conger are hiding. It just didn't work this year but around Anglesey the fishing seems to have been bad in general really.
Anyhow I love your video new subscriber here and look forward to the next.
Cheers Simon!
I grew up regularly fishing Anglesey with my dad and his mate. I've been back a couple of times this year, and the fishing isn't as I remember it. Maybe I was more easily impressed as a kid haha.
I was hoping to get over in the next couple of weeks and target Congers, but our little one arrived on Friday, 13wks early, so that may have to go on hold. I have a couple of ideas for a more prepared Conger trip, and yes the oils is one of those ideas...lets wait and see if/when I can make that happen :)

Like yourself Anglesey was my stomping ground as a teenager, we had a small caravan at Trearddur Bay that’s were my Dad got me into fishing.. congrats on ur young one I’m sure in a few years you’ll have a hand line in his hands😀.
Holyhead pier used to be great for big conger just dropped Down the side, and even better at night. Also I’m not sure if you know Anglesey but a spot named Mackrel point is great, I’ve had some stonking conger there, but access can be a bit of a beggar, getting a decent spot there in the summer is like fighting for real estate as you get the herds casting feathers out for Mackrel. Anyway it’s pretty deep water off that point, cast out about 40yards and as I say night fishing can produce some great conger specimens.
Anyhow I’m really enjoying your videos and looking forward to more. Stay safe all the best mate.
Oh, if in the future you want specific co-ordinates then let me know, but it sounds like you’re gonna be busy for some time yourself 😁👍
