Don’t fill a pond with a bunch of bass If you don’t want fisherman fishing it! I’ve been fishing this spot since I was kid and I’m not stopping! Catch and release only but be warned security sometimes does come and kick us out it’s not a big deal some of them don’t even care that we’re fishing. Enjoy yourself be a Ninja and don’t leave any mess
