Pond fishing

[MrJim]

Does a adult need a Ga fishing license to fish in a private pond?

 

[RiverBend]

technically, yes

 

[Jpenney]

Alabama private property laws state catch and release unnecessary for state license. Just check GAOUTDOORS.com

Would you be visible from a public road?

If you have permission to fish a PRIVATE pond, you do not need a fishing license.

 

[MrJim]

No. I didn’t eve know it was theRe for 25 years until his father died. I use my atv to get to it. I have a fishing license but not sure my boy has one. Last year I was able to cross the road and head thru the woods to get to it but he had timber cut. Now I need to ride along the road a 1/4 mile then go down thru a pasture. I cut his grass at vacant house across from me and he lets me fish the pond and ride my atv on 400 acres.

Does the game warden have permission to be on said "Private lake".

My point being that you don't need a hunting license to hunt on your own land. I'm not a fisherman but I assume the same rules apply

Yeah, but this is not HIS own private lake. If I go hunt your private land with your permission, I will need a hunting license.
