Bait and tradition and litter

[JohnR]

Because of how sensitive this has become in recent years, I will offer the bait to other people before I leave and will throw it out if there are no takers. Most people are not fishing these days purely to feed the family. People can generally afford the bait but we cannot afford to lose access. Saltheart, I know if you were to leave bait it would be because you feel its the right thing to do, helping a fellow angler. The majority of people these days do it out of carelessness and selfishness, someone else's job to clean... This will cause us to lose more fishing spots than the one or two per year that me be opened by various state agencies... These days its probably best to throw it out...
