there was no need to lock the thread, a little heavy handed i feel, it is a local matter that those of us who fish the area understand. i'm pro-actively trying to do something about this.
as anglers, we use the beaches all year around, and suport local business whatever the weather or time of year, not just when the sun comes out. i think that gives us right to discuss this matter sensibly,
if you must remove anything, please remove the inflammatory posts,
Jem,
i had thought of phoning them, but, i think the best way forward is to pen a letter to them, with a copy going to the herald and gazette, i have the backing (verbally at least) of glyn and kev at anglers den, Kev's son actually goes to the sailing club and fished from dinghy's, so he is aware of the potential dangers,
a public letter would at least be seen to be in the best interests of everyone, and not make it a simple 2 sided battle between anglers and watercraft users, it would involve everyone who uses the beaches, and hopefully educate some who feel they have the right to do anything they want, at anyones expense.
