Bucket Fishing

[NCYankee]

I've seen something in North Carolina that I have not seen in Ohio (my previous home state). It is what I call bucket fishing. Basically, you take a five gallon bucket to the nearest fishing hole. Use whatever bait you have. Catch whatever fish you can regardless of species and size. Throw said fish in bucket. Take said fish home and eat them.

There is a group of guys who regularly fish the lake in my neighborhood. None of them have jobs. Surprisingly, they are all on some sort of disability, workers comp, etc. The poor things can't work.

These guys take anything and everything they pull out of the water. To make things worse, I believe they do not even live in the neighborhood. Our home owners fees keep up the neighborhood including the lake. The lake is supposed to be for residents only.

They joked one day about taking fish that were under the size limit. It is a private lake, so I don't believe there are actually limits. Never the less, these guys really get under my skin. I think the police might be making a special trip to the lake the next time a see these guys.

Sorry. Just wanted to vent. These guys are nothing but a drain on society. Do you have bucket fishing in your area?
