@Try-hard Fisherman: I have never personally fished storm-water ponds, but I have my eye on a few that I would like to try. In Burlington, storm ponds have similar signs (no fishing, no skating, etc), so I e-mailed the City of Burlington about it. Here is part of their response:
"While there isn't a by-law in place to enforce the fishing restrictions, the signs serve as a risk management tool and to advise residents of the potential danger of accessing the water".
I take that as "fish at your own risk". I hope this helps.
Nothing wrong with creek chubs at all - finding them in that spot was a nice surprise, especially for my kids. It's just that it wasn't what I was fishing for at the time.
P.S. Creek chubs make great bait for largemouth bass!
Welcome Dickson23s. Nothing beats getting out and trying different spots, especially quiet, out-of-the-way places. Last year I tried a creek near my home, hoping to get into some brook trout. I didn't catch any, but I found a wonderful, quiet spot to take my kids fishing for creek chubs.
