Headed down for some casting last evening and was met by an Asian family walking back to their car, which was parked right next to the light house. One of the men says, "You use san wum?" as we pass. I reply that I only use lures. He says OK and we go our seperate ways. I fished my way around to the west side and then it became clear to me why the man wanted to know if I used "san wum." He must have left his behind in the worm box that sat there on the rocks. He also left a gold kahle hook for me- with a piece of wum already attached! Is it their custom to leave behind extra bait for others who might come to fish, or are they just slobs. Given their track record of killing all manner of wildlife just so they can eat exotic foods (bear galls, tiger bones and penises, whale meat, etc.), I think it becomes pretty clear. Nature is for them to use however they see fit, and not worthy of respect. Why else would they disregard laws meant to protect the environment the way they do. Everywhere they go they leave a wake of snarrled line, wum boxes, and trash. I going to spend a day on the rocks with my camera at The Hill once the scup slaughter starts. I'll document their actions, then I'll call the DEM to come down and see what's up. Time to fight the hords that will get us all kicked out of our fishing spots.
