rules

[penfold]

my god  :owhy cant anglers stick too the rules & not fish over where someone eles is fishing or better still go round & ask where they are.it looks likes we gettin some noisey angler with too many friends so i think some anglers need too read the rule book again

don't worry penfold you are not on your own. I went down for a few hours and saw the same sort of things.

I blanked of course but with the level of noise and people up and down the bank there was no wonder.

To be honest it has been a problem on busy weekends for ages. The lake needs a balif who is prepared to apply the rules.

I hope no one was drinking

Hey guys, if you're on the spot why not say something. Can't bailiff the place 24/7, but a quiet word from other anglers often goes a long way.

Casting over other peoples lines , what next ? You'll be telling me that someone has left their tackle in a swim and gone to work while his mate in the next swim watches his gear until work has finished .

[hursty]

Well...... You couldn't make it up !!!!!!
Someone has actually been caught reserving a swim for his mate , the best part is , he claims he didn't know he wasn't allowed to do it .
For the record , leaving gear in a swim so a mate can get in there later in the day isn't cricket!!!! You know who you are..

This just confirms I was right not to renew.

just to put people straight the peg wasnt reserved for me, i asked phil to put my bivvy up as rain was immanent and that if anyone turned up before i got there he should move the bivvy to let them get in. I was at the lake for twenty past four so the bivvy had only been up for just over an hour. i apologise to anyone who was duly inconvenienced by my actions. I would also like to apologise to phil as he was the one that caught the flack.

funny how you to know alot lot when you are never there so who keeps texin n tellin tails and if u have a problem dont be 2face  come round and chat about it  oh and by the way it wont happen again but u can bet al be first to open my mouth when i see u walk passed anglers thats doin somet wrong when u know he is {funny thing its your mates}i guessed i should realy keep my mouth shut and dont stoop too ticker tacklins level.any probs about me see me on bank any one knows am an easy goin  guy but wont take any back stabbin on here
 

[Tiger Nuts]

Noting to do with me as I dont hold a ticket any more but i would hardly call it back stabbing because someone posted it on here.

It used to say somewhere on the permit that everyone with a permit at ravenfield are entitled to act as balifs, I guess some people just dont like confrontation though

I'm missing all the fun.

I've not had the chance to reply until today due to working away monday to friday , hence why you might not have seen me . But I have been down to the pond and I have found the need to put a couple of anglers on the right track regarding behaviour .
Firstly Penfold , I never pointed the finger at you as I didn't know who the angler in question was so I am afraid that you "outed" yourself . If you re read the first two posts I placed on this thread you will see that the first one in reply to your initial rant was entirely tongue in cheek and by sheer coincidence I made reference to reserving swims. Obviously you are not a fan of irony and didn't get the second post .
If in fact it was you who reserved the swim ?(you said it , not me ) then it does seem ironic that you started this thread by moaning about others ....
Hardly backstabbing was it ?

Just got back from sunbathing in ibiza and it seems like everyone is behaving nicely , or are we all catching ?

[Tiger Nuts]

Think they have all left the building mate, been quiet for a while, Stuart seems to have disapeared maybe on the Ravo forums?

coming back up in a few weeks, can some one shove me some gear in a peg. Don't wana come all that way and find it full, any time in the next few days should be enough.
