I fish at a dam I have to drive across at work all the time 

I'm in TV and Film production that takes me all over Texas, I get to bank fish just about any public water that's worth bank fishing. Usually just on travel days. I've come across some really great spots around the state, makes good reasons to take road trips.

Inquire about adding both crawdads, Bluegill and bass.

Your work area pond has a aeration system for good DO levels.

My job use to take me out in the country and I managed to stop and make a few cast  when convenient .

There's a small lake about a mile from my job.  I fish it just about every day I work during my lunch break for about 15-30 minutes.  I rarely catch anything, as it's hard to catch stuff from the pressured banks of a city lake at noon in such short time.  And often the weather is uncooperative.  But it still beats not fishing.  

There's a big pond behind my work that has some really nice bass and crappie in it. I use to fish it all the time but because some of our "clients", can see the pond out their windows, they started showing up to the pond and trashing the place, which got it closed down to fishing. The pond isn't owned by my employer, so not anything I can really do about it but wish I could still fish that pond. 

Prior to retiring and Covid, the work complex I was at was gated and had 2 ponds on the property, one of which was pretty good sized. They sort of frowned on fishing during business hours, but after work when most everyone had left, I’d frequently fish for an hour or so. I would also drive in just to fish on weekends when almost no one was around. 
 

They went to lockdown during Covid in early 2020, and even retirees weren’t allowed on site. I’m hoping that one day that policy gets lifted and I can get back out there occasionally.

 

Yes we can. We have a fairly decent sized pond in the back that was there before the cheese plant was built.  They told us during orientation that we can fish it when we’re off the clock.  There is also a small creek/river that the company waste water treatment plant dumps into. that we can also fish. 

Usually, no. But occasionally work takes me out of town for weeks/months and traveling with gear helped with weekends that I didn’t go home.

I do contract work for the USACE and S FL water management so I'm always surrounded by endless miles of canals, equalization basins and lakes full of big fish. 

Work isn't on a lake, but I have lakes all around me. Got about 5 different spots I can fish all within a 10 minute drive. 

Yep - I WFH and live on a retention pond. I ran an outdoor wifi access point to connect the laptop to the where I am sitting in the backyard fishing so signal is awesome. If on conference calls, my wireless headset has a range of 350 feet for teams calls. If I want to move around and cast, I can run my wifi from a mobile hotspot. I have taken calls on a laptop/headset/mobile hotspot in the middle of the lake fishing for bass/crappie before.

 

However - most laptops are not designed for usage in direct sunlight nor are the laptop batteries. However a 12v trolling battery can be hooked up to a laptop power supply for such occasions.

 

Yes, I have turned on the camera reeling in a fish while on a conference call for other's amusement. It is kinda request now when I am on a call (muted) as most calls are do not require video.

Old thread but Ill add to it. YES, I do fish at my work, when I'm off. I am the Security director at a huge non gated up scale residential neighborhood. Its also on a Golf Course where there are 6 big ponds with HUGE bass. You would think that I would fish there more then I do. I normally just wanna go home when I get off work. When I do fish the area its on the weekend in morning. 

I'm retired. My previous office was an aircraft carrier and yes(because I know you're going to ask) I have fished off the back of it but only in port. They wouldn't let me underway. lol

I can't fish at work, but there are a couple detours I can take between work and home that have fairly generous public shore access to the river and some gravel pit lakes.

I have permission to fish a private pond just 1/4 mile from the church I attend - my life is all about the Lord's work...

Way back in 2004 and 2005, I worked for the Minnesota DNR. In 2004 I was an intern doing a tagging study for walleyes at Mille Lacs lake. I went on public launches and tagged caught fish. They always asked me to put an extra slip bobber line out when I was “working.”

 

In 2005, I did a lake survey study on 3 small lakes near Aitkin. I used a work truck and boat all summer. It was a Lund Rebel with a 40 hp 4-stroke motor. During periods of down time, I was permitted to fish these lakes. It was during this 4 month period that I learned how to bass fish on my own.

I used to before I retired.

Having the The North Atlantic as an office

offers a wide range of fishing opportunities.

Sort of a fringe benefit I guess.

I work at Kennedy Space Center ....no bass fishing but plenty of salty critters to catch......my boss is a big saltwater fisherman so we will go when we can after work.

My office is surrounded by a moat. I've fished it a few times when I had permission through company rec. Caught lots of bluegill and a few small bass. It apparently used to hold some really good bass before it was left abandoned by previous tenants. I may have made a few casts when I've had to come on campus to do something on the weekend too. 

I was specifically told no fishing the 2 ponds I manage and no hunting the wooded property that I also manage. 

 

They knew before I even asked...less about me and more about the 250 other country boys who would be out there with me if they saw me doing either.

i have a couple of ponds in our office complex.  sadly they appear bass-less. 

 

 

Midnight stocking. EZ fix. 

I make video games and currently WFH. I've got the ocean and the sound walking distance from me, and I am out there most mornings. I'm back in the studio next year and I've got a line on a nearby pond being excellent from a co-worker, so that might become my lunchtime ritual.
