They're nuisance birds but fucking hell...

How old did they look?

That sort of behaviour reminds me of certain regulars to cockburn jettys and eshed (Without saying more)

I dont know how to tell how old a nuisance seagull is, but In my opinion, the guys with the hooks are showing just as much bad behaviour!

poor form all round I say!

ive heard the same thing happening with blowies - who in their right mind would throw back on a blowie?

Crazy times.......

blowies

Mon, 2013-09-16 19:00

I went to Hillary's yesterday arvo and at the aqua there was a group of about 10 youth (between 14-20 ) catching blowies with a crab net and then using them as footballs and smashing them on the ground. I don't have a problem with dispatching blowies, there are in plaque proportions out, but behaving like absolute fucking wankers towards animals is just not on. There where some more people fishing with very small kids and what are these other kids learning from that behaviour.....I was going to throw the pricks in the water but my with my partner being there I just got my phone out and started filming then. A little abuse from my side and a phone call to fishwatch later and they disappeared.
I don't get what is wrong with this kind people these days, I would have never got the idea to do shit like that!
I learned from my parents don't be cruel to animals as they feel the pain just as much as you do....
Rant over and sorry for hijacking your thread!

Agree with you Alfred - What peeves my off more is its not a good look for our pastime and does not do us any favors when we want to keep our rights to fish.

Sad world it's coming to

Mon, 2013-09-16 19:33

It's a real shame to hear about acts like this. Unfortunately there will always be a minority of idiots....the scary thing is that these sorts of incidents seem to be happening more and more. Not sure if that is the case, or if it just perceived because 10 years ago fantastics forums like this one and social media were simply not as big....

The worst thing is, it's these kinds of idiots that result in the authorities creating laws and regulations to restrict fishos, access to grounds, etc and give us all a bad name.

Not worth the risk by taking it up to these tools....one of them will probably pull a knife or they will gang up on you. Discretely film them in the act with your mobile and grab photos of the vehicles....lets the authorities do the 'wrist slapping'....

I wonder if Adam would support the official 'Fishwrecked Vigilantes Group' - sorting out morons the good old fashioned way. We could have our own secret handshake and wear our thermals on the outside :-p

yeh really do know what you

Mon, 2013-09-16 19:57

yeh really do know what you mean i was down at E shed at about 2 about a year ago (i know that's a pretty long time ago) anyway i was getting my bait supply. and some teenagers came down and after a while caught a shag or also called commorant by accident and it was just hooked slighlty in it's wing

being helpful i went over to help and the teenager pulled out a knife and was going to kill the poor thing beacuase it got caught in it's line.

I straight away argued and said i will untagle it myself got a rag and pulled the hook out.

i don't know what they would of done to the bird

the reason

Mon, 2013-09-16 20:08

the reason no respect , parents are usually shit heads to , forgotten how many times I have told young blokes to pull up their pants as I don't want to see to see their shitty underpants , wife always goes mad when I tell them but bloody hell I hate it, even saw it at last years ANZAC parade some young bloke with his shorts down near his knees , wandered over and told him if he didnt show respect and pull his shorts up I would give him the the biggest wedgie he had ever had , result shorts pulled up

The authorities aaarh yes

Tue, 2013-09-17 00:42

Now lets see the story will go something like this, the poor kids come from a broken home mums on the game dads on the drugs and the poor kids don't like anyone who tells them about there civic responsibilities. Very sorry to hear that you have to explain yourself to the authorities (who are only respected by the law abiding).My answer when questioned about interactions with the local human excrement is I am positive I heard him say"I'm going to cut you to pieces you %#@&&*. Upon hearing that I defended myself as I feared for my life.
End of statement, period.

 Not a good look, people love

Tue, 2013-09-17 12:41

 Not a good look, people love to show off to their mates.

Sight fishing for salmon a few years ago and a bloke rocks up gets his rod out and starts reading the paper. I saw a school and quietly headed off. He finally catches on and gets down there and first cast tangles with a seagull. Im pulling in a few fish and he is getting mad. Nek minute... bit too disturbing to repeat. Lets just say the seagull wasnt flying off. It made me feel sick. At least he didnt get a fish.
