elmoputney Posted April 13, 2019 Report Posted April 13, 2019 Something from bivvy tramps that stuck with me If you know it's being prebaited it's poaching , if you don't know it's good angling Your so called mate has poached your good angling and hard work, does he know what bait you use ? They are the risks of prebaiting though but knowing you have been is a low blow in my opinion, hope you go and catch more than him Quote

You would of told him to find his own fish lol ! Prebaiting is always a difficult one , we've all fished someone else's prebaited spots without knowing that's for sure , probably accounts for more red letter days than we would like to admit 😜 yonny 1 Quote
The Roach Basher Posted April 14, 2019 Report Posted April 14, 2019 Happens alot on commercials, but if they blank and you catch on another spot, it feels great.... Or "Accidentally" trip over his bait bucket, fish the margin tomorrow lol... Quote

emmcee Posted April 14, 2019 Report Posted April 14, 2019 I just fished elsewhere in the end, sadly I blanked but so did he. The fish backed off the cold wind, which was freezing if I'm honest Quote

His first words were, "loads of fish here mate, hope you don't mind" That's difficult mate. Whenever I'm fishing a water with mates we have an agreement that any/every spot/swim is fair game. End of the day you can only fish for what you can see and if the fish are clearly having it off somewhere I'll fish for them regardless of who's been baiting where. Likewise my friends. It's the only fair way imo - it's not right that you feel you shouldn't fish certain swims because others have been baiting them. You end up with each angler having their own baited spot and it becomes a bait-and-wait situation, that's not what angling is about for me. I truly feel for you buddy but at the same time if your mate finds them lumping out in a given swim he's hardly going to go down the other end of the lake. Is it really fair to ask him to?

That makes it sound a bit like a license to stitch each other up but it's actually the opposite - I'll explain: If you're baiting a spot and the carp get on it big time, someone will eventually clock them. An angler that isn't your mate might have no idea it's been baited, he'll jump in there and have it off and he's done absolutely nothing wrong. The swim is therefore only off limits to your mates, those that you are closest to. You're kinda inadvertently stitching them up. Its-grim-up-north 1 Quote

I totally agree mate. Yes I was peeved but not the end of the world. More to worry about in life than a swim. I soon got over it. End of the day we all pay the same money so can fish what ever swim we like. Normally some etiquette or decency is shown but not on this occasion. yonny 1 Quote

greekskii Posted April 16, 2019 Author Report Posted April 16, 2019 Me and a few friends used to ring each other if we saw them lumping out on each other's pre-baited areas to let them know the fish were there if they could get down to the lake, it was then up to them to give the nod for you to fish it if you couldn't, but we all felt the same and rarely did even with the green light. We'd all want the one who's put the effort in to catch the fish. We did largely have the pit to ourselves though around a few day members. yonny and emmcee 2 Quote
