I used to fish NPH all the time as a kid.
I remember a fun incident... was fishing with a buddy from a location that was closed after 10 or something like that... well it was midnight and we didn't realize it was closed. After about 20 minutes of fishing 4 cop cars screech up, they all get out and tackle us both, knees in the back, guns drawn and everything. After they realized we were kids they slowed down a little but not much. They said they got multiple reports of two men with a machete or a sword terrorizing people and vandalizing the area.
Then they found our small fillet knife (we were cutting macks, shark fishing), it was on my buddy's belt in a sheath and they completely flipped out (I guess they didn't see it originally and it surprised them). We were interrogated and harassed for about 2 hours and the whole neighborhood was out there watching... well at least 20 people. My buddy was graciously "let off" from a carrying a concealed weapon charge, but they took the knife and all our gear and gave us tickets. I remember many of the people booing when they let us go.
Anyway I haven't been back to NPH since and have no desire to.
