Are there big fish in those corporate campus ponds, there's only one way to find out.

A year ago I was fishing the Passaic near one of the 3 reservoirs close by the Short Hills Mall. I came across a section wading in the river where I accessed the reservoir without climbing any fences. I also did not see any ‘no trespassing’ signs and had no certain knowledge that fishing in the reservoir was not allowed (although I suspected as much) so I started taking casts in the reservoir not very concerned about any trouble. Next thing I know I hear the sound of an engine and at first I couldn’t believe my eyes but then I realized there was a boat in the reservoir and it was headed straight at me. I didn’t stick around to find out if pleading ignorance would be a viable defense. Needless to say I haven’t been back.
