My sister has a pond in her subdivision thats about 10 acres, and is surronded by homes, my sons girlfriends Mom owns one of the homes right on the water, so I thought I would give it a try, and make a few cast. I recieved permission to fish on her property, and the property next door to her. Started fishing, and catching some nice quality bass, so I slowly made my way down the bank, as I am fishing some old man, about 80 years old walks onto the property I was fishing, and looks at me and says, "if you step foot on my property, I will call the cops and have you put in jail" which I reply nicely, I am not on your property, nor was I going to get on your property without permission, which he in returns calls me a prick, and walks off. I get to the end of the property I was fishing, which is next to the 80 year old mans property, and start casting out into the lake, he again walks out to me, and tells me that I cannot cast out into the pond where his property is, I once again told him nicely, I am not on your property, and you do not own the water. He calls me a prick again, and walks off, well where I am standing is shallow end of this pond, and I whack 3 really nice fish, 2-3lbs each, and yell down at my son to come down to this end, and fish with me, he is 16 and loves to fish, so he comes down, and catches one, so we continue to fish at this end, and out comes the old man with his pole, he cast out right in front of us, his pole has a bobber on it, but no lure, stands there, tells me I dont know why you pricks have to fish at this end, I do my best to ignore him, and actually ask him if he needs a lure for his pole, he tells me I aint fishing you pricks, I am just blocking you from fishing my water. I could not take it anymore, I told him in so many words what I thought of him, and didnt appreciate his language around my son, this old man grabs his pole and acts like he is going to swing it at me, I told him that I dont care how old you are old man, you hit me with that pole, I am going to stomp your old ass in the ground, and call the cops, well he didnt like that to much, and by now, my sister, brother in law, wife, sons girlfriend, and the neighboor whos property I am on, are all standing there looking in misbelief that someone is that big of an *******, and they all start telling him what a ass he is, he grabs his pole and walks in the house. 10 minutes pass, and two cops cars come cruising down the street, and I knew exactly why they were there, he called the cops and told them I verbally and physically threatned him, so they talk to him, and I can hear him lying to the officers, so we just wait, and of course they come over, and start asking me questions, telling me what he said, and of course we have 8 people there to tell them the truth, and what he had done, in the mean time he walks down to the pond and starts again, tells the cops that I was casting into his water, and he wants me locked up for trespassing, finally one of the cops must of been a fisherman, tells the old man, as long as he isnt on your property, he can **** well cast wherever he wants to, and tells him to get on his property before he gets locked up, the look on the old mans face was worth the whole ordeal. Sorry for the long story, but I could not believe that there are people on this earth that are so mean and nasty, and I left out a bunch of other things he said to me and my son, but I had to pass this one on, because its a classic. I am going to get a two man boat, launch it, and fish all around his property just to piss him off. Has anyone had this happen to them? And does anyone know the law regarding fishing ponds in subdivisions? I want to make sure its legal to launch a small boat like that in a neighboorhood pond, and fish around it.
