Starmers and Hartsholme

There has been quite a bit of pre-baiting of swims lately which is fine but I'd like to make it clear that you do so at the risk of someone fishing in your pre-baited swim if they arrive before you and you have no right to tell people that they cannot fish there or make them feel guilty for doing so, even if you told them you had done so. If the swim is free, it's free to be fished...by anyone. Space is too limited on both lakes to not expect others to go on pre-baited areas. There have been no incidents of visible friction on this subject yet but I'm just giving our policy before it occurs.

If you do pre-bait...shut your mouth and hope for the best!
