Especially the gasholes fishing from the local pier which features
large signs proclaiming, "No Fishing Allowed"

I see quite a number of these illiterates at some of the local lakes. I
generally point to the sign and indicate they're not supposed to be fishing
from there. Usually they get the hint and move on.

Don't get me wrong - I've nothing against fishing; it's a wonderful sport,
but I *do* have a problem with obnoxious fishermen and those who don't clean
up after themselves. These seem to be in the majority around here, in my
experience.

I find the definition of fishing as a sport strange but for want of any
other compartment I suppose sport will have to do. But if someone's
sport involves putting a metal hook in a living creature's mouth and
yanking it out of the river for fun then you do have to question it!
