We tried our best to save them... HUGE FISH in danger 

I couldn't agree more just what do we pay our rod licence fees for

It's the same shame in Germany, we have the feeling that saving the environment stops at the water surface.

Yep, more ten willing to get environmental agency people to inspect people licences, but rarely do shit, i pay for a paddle licence, and a rod licence, fact this shit is happening, and they're even turning down local help is just bullshit too, (towards the wildlife trust) etc. at least the environmental agency did send someone down but not good enough.

Disgusting the council won't even allow you to pay for the work and do it yourselfs.. its an wildlife issue you should get a petition going to take ownership of that land and the lake. They can't just let the fish die and do nothing..

That's why I don't agree with licenses because they do fuckall only on rivers

I’ve said before their parents must be very proud of these lads mate.

@@baldeagleangler3373 if my kids are half as decent as these two i would be proper happy,,,im glad I share the same last name as them 😊 😄

@@tobysmith3521 they made a great thank you vid to their family. Should still be on the channel, tight lines mate.

@@baldeagleangler3373 i would love them both to come to Norfolk and have a carp fish,would be a dream come true 👍

@@tobysmith3521 if you arrange it I’ll pop down for a brew mate. Tight lines mate.

scumbags

Hence depending on these people is not a smart idea. Government sucks, they won’t do really anything, they have other things to watch like hate speech.

@@Lilliz91 which the environmental branch probably has nothing to do with.... and is also very serious.

Who saved the fish, Anglers..Council are scum...If fishing was allowed this would have been spotted earlier...

It's the council what do you expect all of them are scum

What do you think of the Northern American model for conservation?

@@dogguy8603 I think the catch and release programs have their merit for certain species, however, there are a number of invasive species, many carried over in the holds of cargo ships, that lock through from the coast to the central states, passing through the Great Lakes. The Goby, and Asian Carp, are prime examples. Large scale “culls” are being made on a daily basis to eliminate these fish, but sadly, they breed faster that they can be caught! Domestically, the Fish and Wildlife departments, need to blanket certain states,offering collection services for exotics, that a released by owners who get bored, either caring for them, or they become too large to keep in a home aquarium. These fish plague the waterways, including the snake fish, which can reek havoc, wherever it is found.

@@charlesgrahammacleodstuart510 the main problem regarding Asian carp is they have to many bones, as in Americans don't like eating boney fish and there is no way to fillet a carp without getting some bones, but your right regarding exotic species, but Florida is a mess with invasive species due to the tropical climate, they hare lousy with pythons, iguanas, and snake heads. And unfortunately here in California nutria have made their way back to our waterways. But many fish species found in the states are non native to the area, a prime example is rainbow trout, and largemouth bass

Well said! I entirely agree!!

I said same thing to an EA bailiff 2 weeks ago and he just shrugged his shoulders and walked off so I gave him some hammer verbally

good idea

great idea

would guru and korda support this.

Agree

Yes

People care, gouverment dont

I find it disgusting how the government would rather kill the planet rather than save it until it’s too late

I’m surprised they care

I agree

Its ashame that the public have to step in.. Biggest crimes are committed by the Wolfs in suit. Much respect for u Guys. Greetz from Netherland 🇳🇱

What lake is this pal

@@maggieedlin5000 Looks like Ditchling common lake - unless i'm wrong.

Rip pristine

*The irony of how you went above and beyond to save a fish that you had already been accused of killing* It's always been that way. The "bunny huggers" think they're doing wildlife a service by banning fishing/hunting/trapping/etc. Those of us that partake in such things are the ones that foot the bill to preserve the resource, we create habitat and food sources and do everything necessary to keep the population managed at a healthy level. All the crybaby, do nothings, reap the rewards of being able to see all the critters...then try to shame US...when they should be thanking us. If it weren't for us, they'd be taxed more to pay for sharpshooters and animal control...animals will still be killed, just the same.

I'm sure if he lined a few pockets the council will suddenly allow work to be carried out.

The EA at that time had run out of resources in the area as it was not only this lake that had been effected. In some case (a pond in falmer opposite the Brighton football stadium) basically dried up and all the fish were lost. They were keen to offer advice but couldn't supply any pumps. It really is down to the local council that these park lakes and waterways got to this stage, and they effectively told us to go away they have more important stuff to focus on (which I'm sure there is), however tens of thousands of people walk around this park and the lake every year and thousands use it weekly even daily for dog walking and to get out In the wild. Surely for these people's well being and mental health the relatively small amount of money (that they have in their budget) to fix the dam and de-silt a few of these waters would be worth it. Especially if the EA and other environmental institute found that the council's have been negligent then the council's will get fined anyway. Sorry for the little rant.

@@Ryanmanger thanks for the reply i can see where your coming from. However if the authorities carnt cope then they should allow others like theses lads to take it on. I think local groups willing to take this on would put much more into this and make the changes for the better if they were given the go ahead

@@ryanogden5895 totally agree, Carl was astounded when he said he would fundraise for it and do the work, all he needed was their permission and they turned around and said no.

When I saw that it was deliberate neglect which was causing the leaks that was the first thing that came to my mind as well.

Hi Sam 😂👌

@@freddieblackburn6541 haha😂🤣

@BREAM FISHING hi!😀

Just seems enevitabal

Thank you for being a public voice, i have seen this happen before. I pay rod licences in the hope this kind of thing is avoided. Well done you guys. Love and peace.

I think they will do in the future..

Great role models for younger anglers to get into the sport. They should have a TV spot

Me

Not most - all of them! Every single one of them lie on their expense claims, and thats just the start.

Your so right there mate! The mayor of liverpool is up for corruption & dodgy dealing & intimidation! They have a party at xmas which costs £10,000 using public money!

Try watching Seaspiracy on Netflix

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Totally agree with your opinion I feel exactly the same.

Wildlife trusts are only interested in making money.

LMFAO

Thing is, the majority of councils in the UK have tens of millions stashed away in overseas bank accounts,

@@tonyford4170 politicians maybe, money skimmed off the council budget, maybe, illicit payments to favoured parties, probably. But why would a council have overseas bank accounts? Who benefits when the personnel changes? Don't get me wrong I'm no fan but I genuinely dont see what the motivation for that would be...

@@stevengreenhough4232 The Icelandic banking crisis of 2008, it was widely reported that uk councils lost tens of millions of uk£ during that year, but were able to claw some of it back.

nice one shame this council

East Sussex Council

What do they do? Charge you a fee, so you don't get a fine. Like "God"..."let me in, so I can save you from what I'm going to do to you, if you don't let me in". We've had the same problem, here in Michigan...on the river that I salmon fish. State stopped the salmon stocking program. The local tribe offered to take it up, at no expense to the state...state said "NOPE...we're not doing it, and nobody else is either...(because WE don't have control)".

It’s obvious what they do... they check for fishing licenses 🤷🏼‍♂️

Cut down dead trees in the middle of nowhere to eliminate the 1 in a 453,554,444,764,654 change it might fall over and kill somebody....

@@fermiticus4034 i dont think you know why the great lake states stop stocking salmon. Their prey (alewives) were declining, salmon were first introduced to reduce huge alewife dieoffs that spoiled beaches. The states stocked too many salmon with not enough food. It was a waste of state money if they fish weren't going to survive. Also, most of the fish returning to the rivers were naturally spawned fish. It's good to do a lot of research before saying BS.

@@codkue5142 You're making assumptions about the depth of the knowledge I possess. Not that I'm an expert on, or have full knowledge of the details for this particular instance. I do know why salmon were introduced. As a byproduct, it created a great fishery...which brings millions $$$ to the businesses of coastal "fishing towns", plus million$ in licensing for the state. The town I fish near, is dying a slow death. There's a lot less people now, than there was when fishing was really good. More and more businesses boarded up every year. There WAS six bait/tackle shops in town, 10 years ago, all of which were doing great. As of last year, there was one...just hanging in there. Many other small businesses are gone as well.

Then they need to be voted out at the next election.

Uk councils for you absolutely useless 😂😂

Thanks! :) You too

Cheers Steve :)

until they demand their council tax !!!!

iv had the same near a pond near me, the council literally are a waste of air.

@@jo15518 i can understand them turning down a non professional to work on structural damage for a dam. But they should at least address the problem. I don't understand them turning down crowd funding to raise money that could be given to a professional to fix it

Nothing in it for them. Politicians are parasitic graft artists. Belong in an anoxic zone, for life.

@@ToolforOffice Exactly. They of course have a right to evaluate the plan to fix the dam and comment on it in order to make it compliant with the rules (they are responsible for it after all) but a straight-up refusal like this is just maddening. They view just as an increased workload and don't care about the actual benefits.
