not fishing related but... you might get a signed letter from him stating that you have permission to fish the pond if its on private land... here in texas, if ya dont have a letter signed & dated ya can git in a big bind... meaning either a huge fine and or jail time... a few years ago a man named dan which is a good friend of mine gave me permission to fish 1 of 3 big bream ponds he had in turnertown texas... i took up the offer... he had to leave to take care of some stuff & while he was gona police drove up... costed me 400$ in fines + 70$ court cost back then... dan got back & talked with the police the next day but didnt do any good... all they said is ya shoulda had a letter... dont know how it is where your at but here its crazy...
