How about a competition for the largest ball of discarded fishing line collected while fishing for the contest? I picked up a couple huge clumps of it this morning while getting otherwise skunked.

I was also thinking we should compete to see who snaps the best picture of waterside litter that's funny/disgusting/massive or otherwise remarkable. I'm stunned every time I fish from shore. I was thinking I should always carry a garbage bag, but there's just too much. I pick up what I can, but that's a tiny amount compared to what's there. So I'll keep picking up all the line I see, at least. I was shocked this morning, when I threw away a broken rod handle I'd picked up, to discover that there was actually garbage in the garbage can. I was sure all of it had been left on the shore.

I was thinking of something Steve Martin says on one of his albums (probably an inaccurate quote): "Always keep a litter bag in your car. If it gets full you can always throw it out the window."
