[QUOTE="DocWatson, post: 33225, member: 112"] I would have to agree with Jim. Simple, polite and direct (skip the gift until the second or third visit). My grandfather used the same approach back in the 50's & 60's when I fished with him. Times were simpler then and folks seemed more friendly and trusting, but he'd just walk up to the front door and knock. I don't ever recall him being turned down. We never kept many fish unless the owner wanted the pond culled. Then we'd keep every fish we caught of that species and stop and ask the owner if he wanted them on the way out. Farmers would sometimes plow them into a field or feed them to their pigs. But most important if you get permission is to leave the place better than you found it. [/QUOTE]
