Trespassing while hunting and armed is a federal offense.. do it on our property and you will go to jail and if the offense is at night you might win a free trip to the morgue.

This is the most "Karen" thread I have read in a while.
It's not like you own the place and people are sneaking in at night and fishing it.
While it is private, the area in the pic looks like a park, sidewalk, ponds, etc. I could see people simply thinking that is would be ok to fish there. Are there no trespassing signs?
Are other people using the area to walk, bike, feed ducks or is just the fishermen that get the boot?

Did you literally see a guy mishandle a fish and storm downstairs from your office to give him an earful?

most public areas that are meant for the public to use to fish at you can tell because of the trash an things the general public leave behind . any more if it is private property the owners dont want uninvited folks fishing or hunting on their property an they shouldnt have to put up no trespassing signs or no fishing signs do that folks wont go onto their property in town.

JW Hardin was so mean
he shot a man for fishing

yep

It depends, on whether you can afford the consequences. Think of the miserable life, if you choose not to.

a good 16" barrel with a suppressor would save you the trip downstairs.


just sayin.

unless it is marked or there are purple posts at any entrance they are not trespassing till asked to leave, they refuse then it becomes criminal trespass and changes a lot of how it's handled.

being in an office park that could be considered a public space imo, no trespass since all they have to say is they are waiting on someone doing business or to go to one of the businesses etc.

if there are not any signs saying no fishing then pretty much the same, no offense till told not to.

I wouldn't let it bother ya but you can keep calling security to have them run off, about all you can do if you are not the owner of the property or authorized rep.

Sorry, people are more important than fish, but mistreating an animal isn't acceptable. Even if the water is poisoned with pesticides and herbicides, the animal should be treated with respect. Everything is a fallen world will die, however, fishing in an office park shouldnt raise alarm bells. Let's not over-react. Release the fish- because you aren't going to eat it- in a respectful manner. My opinion. You're welcome.

I admit, I've seen some ponds that call me, trespass or not.

I'm far from perfect, and I break the law when necessary.

I deal with this somewhat frequently at one of the lakes I fish. I’m the only non-family member that has permission to the place, and I’ve been given explicit instructions never to confront, but to call the SO immediately. I know these people will press charges, but I also know there are a lot of out of state people moving in to the new neighborhoods popping up nearby. SO, I approach them, advise them they are trespassing and give them the opportunity to leave-which they immediately do. But once, I threw a guy out who had dragged his kayak over the back fence near the housing construction, to fish. He proceeded to tell me there was nothing wrong because he was just having fun and throwing everything back. Nope. I advised him that if I ever saw him there again I would call the law. Hard to explain, but the difference in attitude was noticeable with that guy. Trespassing is against the law, I find it surprising that there seem to be some (not talking about kids) that think the law doesn’t apply to them for some reason.

MUDDY CREEK NO TRESSPASSING!

Hey all!

I went by Muddy Creek this week end to see if there was any ruin action.

Right at the entrance of the lot where everyone parks I noticed two new No Trespassing signs, one on each side.

Anyone know anything about this?

You are brave!

how in the heck do you mishandle a fish?
