Sad but true. The "Me, Myself & I" generation I guess?
my thoughts on this subject .
who are these so called 2 legged creatures ?
certainly not what I thought a civilized culture would produce .
a lack of giving a you know what for anything and everything around them .
with a total disregard for other species and the environment they live in .
I certainly don't get it and for sure have a low patience level for it .
why on earth would someone toss a ball of braid down on a fishing dock ……..
3 feet away from a used line collection location ?
it took me 2 seconds MAYBE between photos to place it in the proper location .
what am I missing yawl ?
it just makes me so SAD to see spots I like to visit looking like this
I tried to make sense of it and understand or come up with who what when and why .
but in the end I just simply DONT get it .
rant over ….

I hear ya !!!
I live in a very rural private, gated community, with about 30 full time residents, scattered around a 140 acre impound. There is also around 400 more "weekender" lots, that get used a few months out of the year. (Some of) These people, and their guests create the same problems around here.
Balls of fishing line, bait containers, beverage cans and bottles floatin in the water, fast food trash, etc. scattered about, just tossed out of the boat, or car window, carelessly discarded with no regard for anyone, or anything other than themselves. There are trash cans, but they are usually almost empty, and sometimes debris piles NEXT TO THE CAN !!!
During the summer months I spend a good deal of time pickin up after them, and it really gets my goat ! I can only imagine somewhere with PUBLIC access would be much worse.
I don't get it !!!

Main reason there's so few public bank fishn areas right now and just so ya know it's not just bank fisher folks that are careless (nicest way I can say it) but they are the most noticed.......
It's the world we've been living in for a while...... and it's definitely getting worse......

I hear ya all. I live just off the main highway to the famed Outter Banks of NC. Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, some very beautiful beaches. But the tourist just trash our roads, beaches, drive like the beach is not going to be there anymore. I have to work some Saturday's and they are so disrespectful to any body that is on the road in there way. I will go by some of our creeks and rivers here during the week and it's so clean,but the weekend hits and here comes the trash in the water. When I was younger I saw a photo of an Indian man sitting on a horse by a creek filled with trash. There was tears running down his face. As a previous scoutmaster we taught our scouts the lessons of clean up there trash, leave the outdoors better than you found or as we say Leave No Trace. Sorry but this hit a nerve.

Glad to know I'm not the only one picking up after the non-respectful folks,(I'm being real nice here). It truly saddens my heart to go fishing a spot and there is a lot of debris lying less than a few feet from a trash can. Some folks are just too lazy to help them selves. I'l take at least a plastic shopping bag, if not a full sized trash bag and spend the better part of an hour picking up trash so there area don't look like a land fill in an area I am fishing in. I also was taught growing up to leave an area better than when I arrived. If you take in with you, take it out with you, this includes the trash. Who knows what you'll find, lures hooks, jigs...

My opinion of their thought process.
Why should I do it? Somebody is getting paid to do it anyway.

MORONS,
This is why I have sole access to several of my private property waters. It proves the old saying that a few inconsiderate people can ruin it for everyone.

It don't matter if someone is paid to go around and empty trash barrels or not, the trash thrown on the ground, not in the trash can is wrong. It burns me up so bad to see the amount of trash so called sportsman leave on the banks of the lakes, streams, and rivers. Used empty worm containers, lure wrappers, soda cans, beer bottles and cans, candy wrappers...it takes money that could be used for other things to pay folks to walk around and pick up after a bunch of no good LAZY people...
