Hi there people yesterday i met a guy on north pier who was taking pics of the pier to try and save north pier from being blown up.He seemed very upset with the fact that our local goverment and ports authorities have cancented to the destruction of the pier.
After finishing our conversatition about the pier we walked and spoke about fishing and then the topic came up.He is a wind surfer and has had numerous encounters with angry fisherman on the piers.
After carefull consideratition i have come to my conclusion that we as fisherman share a common love of the ocean with them the surfers and windsurfers etc..
So why not learn to be more tollerant of eachothers love for the water accept that evryone has a right to the sea and to enjoy what she has to offer.In sociaty today many people forget what common courtesy and respect stand for,this is why i say let us as fisherman take the first step in becoming more tollerant of the surfers etc..and maybe in time they will return the favour and become more considerate of us the fisherman.
I do realise that we are not always the ones at fault,but maybe if we start to be different towards them they would the inturn become more considerate to us.I have on a number occations seen confrontatitions on bench pier which i myself have also been guilty of, swearing, shouting ,getting frustrated and alowing little things to spoil my fishing trip.
This is my opinion and i hope there are others who feel the same so we can start to make the little changes together.I would really appreciate some input on this and get different points of views on this topic from all angles so maybe we can get somewhere .
Thanks
Cheers Riymos
