Golf Course Fishing

Post by Tgreen25 »

I live in Arizona and there is a golf course down the street from me. I walk right through a small patch of desert and there is a really nice pond. Go at about 5:30 while there are still some groups finishing up and they don't seem to mind. A worker even saw me once and didn't care. I called one time and asked If I could fish there but they said no. But now I feel it's open game. Anyways there are bass, catfish, and carp. Caught a 1 pound bass on a hula popper and had my lil bro on a hotdog for catfish. He got a few bits but missed em both. Two catfish were constantly swimming right in front of us. The hotdog soaked in vanilla definitely attracted them. One was a channel the other was black bullhead. Anyways I highly recommend golf course fishing. Just go after hours or stay away from the golfers and don't draw too much attention to yourself. Does anyone else have experience/tips about GC fishing?

I rate fishing on a golf course while people are golfing the same as taking a nap under a coconut palm.

fished a golf course lake for snakehead couple weeks ago, If I fish a golf course I'll either go in the evening when everyone is done golfing for the day or when it's raining, not too many golfers play in the rain due to the fear of lightning strikes, whenever I do go in the rain I make sure it isn't too heavy and that there is no lightning or very little of it
There's no such thing as too much bait!!

certain golf courses I would play, I always had a telescopic rod and reel in my bag, and we would try to be the last off the tee in the evenings with barely enough time to play all 18 or 9 holes.....but we did fish and caught some BIG bass in them

My biggest bass to date was out of a golf course pond...no idea on weight, if I can find a picture I will post it. I can tell you this, it was a monster. I have a golf course right by my house, I have thought about checking out :bounce:
There is a fine line between Love & Hate.Hate is pushing them off a ledge. Loving them means you don't taunt them after you've pushed them off.
