:bshake:

constant refuse :sick:

hey BM.... i bet beach will turn into an arch nemesis of both surf casters and surfers....

those idiots in yaks who try to "surf" in em and run people down.

6oz trebles here i come! :angel:

Thanks for cleanup my secret spot, that was a good one eben. I relly don't care if I look foolish. I'm not here to impress others with how many fish I catch or how good the paint job on my plug is or look at me I know so much about fishing I must be cool. True, I'll get on the threads and mix it up, but the point is that the fishing areas are overrun with trash be it Ocean Rd in Narry, Ocean Drive in Newport or most public access points in Southern Rhody. All I'm saying is that the majority of that garbage comes from people not from the area. The rocks in Narry may be different with kids partying but in Newport it's from the out of state fisherman. Now if you take that as me calling you the culprit then that's on you. I'm not implicating anyone here.

I have one request. I know there are a few Newport fisherman. Let's hear from them and see who they think contributes to the trash issue at the public access points. Out of state fisherman, locals or teenage party goers. Please don't take out of state fisherman as all people ( possibly people from this board). Think of it as the boxed wine drinking crowd that come from out of state on the hunt for scup. I hope that's better for the easily offended.

Chipwood, if any of this is directed at Me
just say it.
where is wee wee when I need Him:laughs:
beayotch walker is a tourist:laughs:

u been drinkin bOXeD wiNe Chipwood:confused:
slow down ......people s**ck everywhere

I hear ya. I'm just getting rediculous.

Its a scup and tog thing... I dont know one bass fisherman who litters.

I'm in "Northern Rhode Island" so I must litter :D laughable:laughs:

Contrary, I wont even throw one of my butts in the sand or water, ask the guys that have fished with me, in my pockets or ziplock they go. :p

You need to put all that hostility to some creative use, focus on getting the word out etc, start a clean up. Goin' on here generalizing and basically insulting the board is not going to help your cause:D

Thanks Timber for that nice insult. you're a real cool guy. I hope you get lung cancer. Have fun catching dinks.

I think the people who fish Newport know what I'm talking about. I did'nt mean to insult the good people of S-B. If I have I apologize even to you Timber. My problem is not with the responsible fisherman that congregate here it's with the people who don't care at all about taking out what they brought in.

your preaching tothe choir:smash:

I live right next to the old train bridge in Tiverton which is absolutely filthy from trash from fishermen going after blackfish. Granted 100% of the trash is from slobs, but 90% of the slobs are comprised of a single ethnic group.

This may not be the same for every trashed spot, but I would think if someone was to ever find a solution this would have to be taken into account.

-spence

what ethnic group would that be ?

American ? ! :af:

I think chipwood needs to gather up and lead an SB clean up crew.
:smash:

Way to kill a good rant :)

BM pollutes the cape constantly.

Don't get downwind of him. :D

Since when is American an ethnic group :confused:

-spence

Well, maybe we should just start to think about that. :eek:

I don't think it's somehow improper to try to understand fully understand the a problem. I'm not labeling any group as a negative, but if a segement of a group shows a clear propensity for a behavior, it would be silly not to isolate that behavior in an effort to find a solution. May not be politically correct but you'll never find a solution otherwise.

-spence

because the ocean is littered with idiots....

Todays boaters tomorrows floaters, and if you googans don't learn quick I will be assisting you with the floating part.

OK I finally read thru this whole thread so here goes my 2 penny's.

I live and fish in Newport county and I would have to say that most I repeat MOST of the trash comes from out of towners. Now that being said and before you all start flaming me for it let me give you my opinion on why that is.

Some people are very responsible and will not litter no matter where they are or what they are doing. More people will not litter when they are in a spot that they go to allot but will do so IF they are in a spot that they do not go to very often ( out of town ) or IF they are with someone less responsible. Some people don't care at all and litter all the time.

If this is true witch I think it is you would as I have see more people from in my case CT and MA do most of the littering. In MA it would be RI and CT and in CT.... well you get the idea.

As to confronting people about it well I'm 6'2 but am not built like BIGFISH ( wish I was ) and could get my arse kicked.

KL , I like You:D well said.
Chipwood, Man that reply about cancer was cold.
Your sounding like a brown starfish

:laughs: :D :hihi:

Access lost due to RI fishermen
 

The town of Marion , a few years back, placed restrictions so tight that if you're not from town , you can't use the ramp or park anywhere. All this was due to the Rhode Island Scup fleet. They were parking on peoples property, urinating in public, All this during the wee hours of the morning, before sunup! The town finally said enough is enough. I agree with what they did, and I'm not even from that town. It's the closest ramp in my area, and the loss caused by these ignorant Rhode Islanders will never be replaced! Massachusetts fishermen, give me a break , there are a**holes everywhere

We all hate trash leavers and short takers Chip. :D You really are preaching to the choir.
