right off exit 36 on 95 take a right right into it, its in a business park, pretty sure you're not spose to fish it but ive never been bothered before(only been there 3 times ever) Anyway, decided to go there lastnight instead of my usual afterwork spot. Small fish jumping out of the water all over the place trying to get away from larger bass, caught about 30 bass in a 3 hour time period, but check out the photo of where I was standing....thats about 15 feet out from shore, no room to manuever, lots of structure to get caught on, well worth it!
Didnt take a lot of pictures cuz I didnt want to lose my phone in the drink. _________________ "Taco flavored Doritos

I guess that when you see some water and say, "I bet there's fish in there", it really IS true. _________________ Don't forget to wear sunscreen and don't litter!

Kira, we used to fish that many years ago when Home Depot used to be a XXX drive-in. Used to catch nice LMB from there. I never see anyone fish there since it has become Home depot. I think its posted. Plus back in the day it was heavily tree covered to around the drive-in to keep the pervs in or out. Trees helped not to be seen fishing.

It's posted all the way around to stay out...but let us know how you make out!
I figured this. What specifically do the signs say? KEEP OUT, NO TRESSPASSING, NO FISHING....?
Does anyone here own/operate a hot air balloon?
Could I cast sufficiently far into the water without jumping the fence? I'm thinking I could roll out a slip n' slide to the water, and when I catch something just use the slide to easily bring the fish to me for unhooking, then give it a fun ride back to the water when I release it. _________________ Kira

Don't bother, The Berlin cops get ugly about fishing there.
I freind got caught last year.. It cost him $$$$ for a lawyer etc.
The Berlin cops know there's bass in there. They're protecting their Lake X.
There's gotta be a loophole.
Ron - if there's signs posted, why was your friend fighting the fine? _________________ Kira

I just happened to be over there yesterday and decided to drive around it and there are about 10 to 15 signs around the perimeter that say "Private Property No Trespassing" ...
Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
Blockin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign
And the sign says "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight"
So I jumped the fence and I yelled at the home depot
Hey! What gives you the right!
To put up a fence and keep me out, or to keep Mother Nature in

...sorry I couldn't resist
Is there a sign that says "Long-haired freaky people need not apply?" I'll bring my own and just point to it when the cops show up. OK new plan...we organize a peaceful protest, circling the water. This should create a diversion long enough for me to get a few casts in.
Great song. I know this is a cover, but I've seen Tesla open for other bands at least 5 times during the 80s/90s, and they do it justice. If you've been living in the dark:
