Fishing in Private Pond from public road

[Kayaker]

If a pond is privately owned by at least two property owners, but there is a public road that borders one part of the pond, can a member of the public legally fish that pond when standing on the roadway or just off of it, i.e. rock border?  The property is located in Lakewood, NJ

you can technically fish it I believe as long as nothing of your line touches the bottom or side of the pond but it would probably be easier to ask for permission

I would say No . Is it posted ? Ask permission,

You are that YouTuber the cops checked? I would say no cause the OnX app shows that she owns all that along the road where you were standing.

There are no rules in Lakewood if you go fishing in a black suit. Go for it.

If it were my property you would be wearing my boot in a most uncomfortable place !

Why would you even consider doing it? Always think about how would you like if someone did it to you. Looking for confrontation is not my way to relax while fishing

Tons of spots to fish without all the BS

I was thinking the same as others. How BIG exactly are the fish in this lake that you are willing to go through the hassle of having to look over your shoulder after every cast  

So many other waterholes to fish without worrying about this kind of thing.

A few have tried that approach at one of our ponds in pa. 

They never seem to come back after we pull up and get out of the truck with 44’s on our hips. Message received.

Yeah, just imagine being in the property owners shoes when the googans show up.

You already know its private so why ask? Just looking for a confrontation?

Just pull up on them playing a banjo. That should do it...
