[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3859309, member: 24531"] I've checked on this (as a homeowner who deals with outside fishermen on occasion)...the HOA must post a sign if they want residents to be able to have the police remove you if you refuse to leave. So basically, if it isn't posted, even a resident can't make you leave if you are not on THEIR specific property. However, if they were to contact the HOA president or the property management company, then you could still be made to leave if that person told the police they wanted you to leave (even if no sign). So from my perspective, you could probably fish some of these but the best approach would be just to leave if anyone asks you (whether a sign is posted or not). Or if no sign, you could tell them unless they are the HOA president, you would like them to leave you alone, but that would probably escalate and get the cops called anyway. AND, depending on the responding officer, there is no guarantee the law will even be followed. If he/she sympathizes with you (or the other party), then the decision of the cop might trump the law regardless (unfortunately). Probably best to stick to those that are less private and not directly behind someone's house verses those that are more associated with walking trails and not as easily claimed by a specific homeowner. There are plenty of neighborhoods with ponds like that, and also plenty of public parks with ponds too which eliminates the worry completely. What kind of fisherman are you? Bass? [/QUOTE]
