Problems with fish poaching?

[Snafu03]

I'm not into angling myself but several people I've spoken to have commented about problems with fish poaching by east european immigrants.

They say this was never a problem before the influx of migrant workers. It seems alot of large ponds seems to be having this problem? Is this a countrywide thing and why is it happening?

Not sure how they know its the Polish or whoever - guess they get caught from time to time and it always seems to be the Eastern Europeans. Poaching has always gone on but the way anglers are talking about it makes it seem like an epidemic!

I hear that ducks have been going missing from public park ponds, too!

I didn't realise that Docspock wasn't English, but that would account for him not knowing that all fish have a central nervous system. That is how they have the intelligence to avoid getting caught by anglers most of the time.

I just realized docspock's avatar isn't a real person. I just thought he had a large head and creepy eyes.

No need for that cowtipper. Everyone is entitled to be wrong some times.

When I read the title I was going to suggest 6 minutes on a medium heat in milk and water.
