Super User AK-Jax86 Posted June 18, 2013 Super User Posted June 18, 2013 I also live by a golf course. I golf it occasionally. Ive always thought about packing a colapsing fishing pole in my golf bag and taking a few casts while playing a round. Im sure they might take it a little differently if i pay to be on property than if i just hopped the fence. Rumor has it its got big bass. It seems like all golf courses have big fish in em. Golf balls must be a part of their diet
Super User Felix77 Posted June 18, 2013 Super User Posted June 18, 2013 I travel about 45 minutes to hit a golf course who has given me permission to fish their ponds. There are some sweet fish in there. Some well over 5lbs and numbers which would boost the confidence of any beginner. I like this forum even more after what Glenn/Flukemstr did. Kudos guys!!!
Diggy Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I fish a few often that Im allowed to, mainly for snakeheads. The best part is when a golfer told me I cant fish the course when the Ranger, tenants and resort gave me instructions and precautions. Office people in the clubhouse say fish on the residents side, stay off a certain area that is considered private property, etc. I follow the rules. Just the other day *golfer pulls up from 900 miles away* "you cant fish here" Me " I always fish here".....blind stare golfer "uh...well a tournament is going on here today, just don't want you to get hurt or hit by a ball" That is a much different statement from you cant fish here....I told him thank you for the consideration and went on my way, but you could see he felt a bit stupid after my reply, which didn't even give much info to him.
Brian6428 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 I have to say, it is amazing what Glenn and Fluke were able to find out from 6 posts and one picture this kid made/posted. Kinda makes me think twice about all the info I may have on the internet! Thankfully Glenn is using his forces for good not evil . Back to the topic, I kinda hope this kid gets caught. He needs to learn that actions have consequences, and that no means no.
forchhammer Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Hey guys, I'm looking for a good golf course to fish at, but am having trouble. Can anyone PM me some good Golf Courses that either you, or someone you know fishes at? Any area would be great. I'd really appreciate it, thanks.

It would help if you put up a location and shared a little more info. Instead of just trolling for peoples spots, join the discussions and make a few friends, the longer you stick around the more info you will get from the people you get to know in your area. 2

Sorry, didn't want to come off like that. I'm EXTREMELY new to fishing, and to be honest, probably do not know enough to share, although I would like to if i did. I just wanted to get some help getting my fishing skills and experience off the ground, and have read that golf courses are good, especially for beginners because the fish are not as well experienced with bait. I travel between Texas and Florida a lot( which is also why I should start fishing), and anywhere around there would be great.

A lot of times folks will meet up, you might be able to find yourself a fellow angler that will show you the ropes. You in the Jacksonville areas? 1
Brian Needham Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 An employee drove right by me and saw me but didn't seem to care at all. If I do get caught I think they'll just ask me to leave. I'm 17. They're not gonna call the cops. yes they will call the cops.I do it at least once a week. you are criminal trespassing...........don't believe me? ask the kid I am going to court over on August 5.

You cannot just walk onto one and start fishing. Unless someone on here is a course owner I doubt anyone would be in a position to help you out with that.
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted July 20, 2013 BassResource.com Administrator Posted July 20, 2013 It appears our friend hasn't been on the site since a few days after his last post. So I guess I can let the cat out of the bag now. Just after his last post, some fantastic sleuthing by Flukemaster and myself ensued (yes, I'm patting myself on the back here), and we discovered the golf course he was fishing was the McDowell Mountain Golf Club in Scottsdale Arizona. So I gave them a call and gave them a heads up. I also found better pictures of our friend, and forwarded it to them, along with a link to this thread, so they could positively identify him. Suffice to say, they were VERY interested, and appreciative of the heads up. They said they would increase patrols on that particular area of the course, especially after school hours. Our friend, Tyler, logged in a few days later, but didn't post, and hasn't been back since. As it turns out, bragging about illegal activities on the Internet is a pretty dumb thing to do. I presume he got caught, which is why he no longer visits here. Oh...just in case he didn't get caught...I had his mother's phone number handy, and was fully prepared to show her this thread with her son's pictures...bragging about dragging his little brother into his illegal activities. But, I presume the golf course did that already. I also know what high school he attends. It's not something I needed to know, but stumbled across it during our investigation. And no, I will not go into details how we figured it out. It wasn't easy, but Fluke and I have a combined 27 years of experience doing this kind of stuff, so....we'll leave it at that. The point I'm trying to make is this: We take illegal activity VERY seriously at BassResource, and will report and/or cooperate with the authorities in all cases. We will NOT tolerate it. It's clearly explained in our Forum Rules and FAQ's, and it played out here. Glenn So it seems the above post was missed, so I'm posting it again. The OP has not returned since. I presume because we "narked" on him. LOL! End of story. 1
Brian Needham Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 yeap Glenn, I skipped to the end and made my post without reading the entire thread! good work! 1
Tgreen25 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Posted August 12, 2013 Why do you care so much? You ruined my only place to fish in Arizona
cast_and_destroy Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 When you hear about illegal activity the right thing to do is report it. He cares because what you did is illegal... 2
Tgreen25 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Posted August 12, 2013 You people act like I'm some huge drug dealer. All I wanted to do was fish which obviously all you people do. There isn't much fishing where I live. Sorry that I'm such a "criminal" for fishing without permission. Oh and btw Glenn. I fished there up until yesterday. Then I was informed about your little investigation. Congratulations! I bet you feel really satisfied. d**n where's you Medal of Honor. They such put you down on the border and stop all the drug lords from getting into the US.
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted August 12, 2013 Super User Posted August 12, 2013 Fishing isn't a crime but if you are not allowed to be there, private property, that's considered trespassing and that IS a crime. Your mistake was bragging about the fact that you were sneaking onto the course. Glen saw something wrong and simple informed them so they could put a stop to it. In reality you could thank him. You aren't a drug dealer but with a trespassing charge you will be sitting in the same cell as those drug dealers and criminals
cast_and_destroy Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Yeah you're not getting what we're trying to say dude. YOU may not think its a big deal but it doesn't matter what YOU think. Somebody payed money to put that course on that land and if they don't want you there, then you gotta go. A golf course isn't public property.
Alex bass slayer Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 · Hidden by Long Mike, August 12, 2013 - No reason given Hidden by Long Mike, August 12, 2013 - No reason given Wow, this is insane. Glenn rat out a kid for trying to fish? How is any of your business? Is it hurting you in any way? Glenn you should really get a life if that's all you have time to do to a kid. This is absolute crap.
Brian6428 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Why do you care so much? You ruined my only place to fish in Arizona Surely there is somewhere else that you could fish. Perhaps another golf course in the area would allow you to fish there on their maintenance days. I bet if you put some time into it you could find a new place you could legally fish.
aquaholic Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Op just needs to be banned. He makes it clear on his twitter page that its just a joke to him. Its called trespassing, not to mention the site specifically mentions no talk of illegal activity. Im sure plenty of people here have fished in places they didnt have permission to, but the difference between them and you is they dont have big mouths. Sooner or later thats going to get you into trouble. 1
Brian Needham Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 everyone thinks its a joke, until they get caught. As I have said, I run a golf course for a living. I been trying to catch a few kids in the act. They have posted big fish pics they have kept, thus ruining the fishing for everyone else. Well, long story little less lengthy...... they decided to take a **** one night in one of the golf holes. They took a pic and posted it on instagram..........BOOM, GOT 'EM. Now the kid is in court; trespassing, criminal mischief, vandalism, destruction of private property. THAT is why we(myself and other golf courses) with many different reasons do not want kids or anyone else fishing, NIGHT OR DAY.Teenagers are stupid, and do stupid things. Then everyone else has to pay for it or clean it up. Past that, say hi to Roadwarrior when he stops by. IN BEFOE DA LOCK!!!!!!! 1
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 13, 2013 Super User Posted August 13, 2013 Hmm... I guess the rest of the boys are going to let this run until everyone knows how to spell S-T-U-P-I-D.
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted August 13, 2013 Super User Posted August 13, 2013 Atleast you didn't shut this down yet I feel it will get more interesting when this kid signs back on lol
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted August 13, 2013 BassResource.com Administrator Posted August 13, 2013 The kid has been banned after numerous derogatory remarks posted on the forums and sent to me via PM. The kid has no respect for anyone, their property, nor laws. I don't have time for that. 11
