Fishing Pigs
Having recently done a conservation clean-up at Gooseberry Island in Westport, I was really disgusted with what slobs some fishermen can be. About 40 people collected over 40 bags of trash from the island. I personally found many empty tackle packages that didn't even look a day old. I found beer cans, coffee cups and bait boxes. I found broken sand spikes and a broken rod. People, please remember. It is this kind of behavior that the DEP and other state agencies see and turn around and use as fuel to close our fishing areas. Too many people fight too hard to keep these areas open so that we can continue to enjoy them. Do you really want to lose your favorite fishing area because you are a slob? When you go fishing, pack it in and pack it out. It's a lot lighter to carry out because it's empty!! Don't be a fishing "pig". Take your own trash with you and if you see more, pick it up too. It will only help. Thank you for listening and may you find that 50 pounder!!!! Tight lines..................
