Glad I don't fish JP much anymore LOL

I've fished that bridge hundreds of times. Ask in the store if you can cut through. Most of the time they'll let you. On the occasions they say no, just walk the median. It's about a 1/2 mile. As far as fishing the slips, as long as you are not touching, tied up to, infringing on the rights of the folks actually leasing the slip, you should be fine. They don't own the water but they do lease the land. Respect goes a long way.

This is true. I lease a slip there and have seen security run off anybody that is walking by the parking lots, if you have permission go for it..... As "Where's my Bobber" says respect goes a long way. I usually talk to everybody I see fishing and have enjoyed the conversations and most have seemed like great people just having fun. At times I will offer them a beverage and BS for a while. Y'all have fun and good luck.

Like previously mentioned guys, they put signs up for a reason. They lease all that and it's trespassing to go through that gate and through that parking lot. You are breaking the law like it or not and they will call the police if it becomes problematic. Respect other landowners or people leasing for exclusive use. I own a small property too and if it isn't yours why would you think you can come on in especially with signs. Enter at own risk but don't get mad at property owner or cops when you get caught.
