Don't take advantage

[Tin-Can]

You have my sincere condolences. I am a true Native of California. I was born in Los Angeles, and grew up from L.A. to Oakland and back. Was a great state back in the 60-70's. Has become WAY-WAY to liberal for me. I left SoCal in 73 to join the Air Force. Never had the desire to return, although I was stationed in NorCal for 19 months. I can remember great fishing in many areas, and Silverlake was and I think still is one of the best trophy Bass lakes. But as others have stated, the regulations, and various "stamps" required on your state fishing license will drive you crazy figuring out what you need. Then you have the bad luck to catch a fish you don't have a stamp for, and a Calif. fish cops sees it, and bang !! Ignorance is no defense, and you were supposed to what was biting your line BEFORE you caught it. [mad] There was, and may still be some great surf fishing up near Ventura, and just below San Diego between San Diego and the Baja border. But it has been over 40 years since I fished in Calif. and I don't miss it one little bit. Have fun if you can, be safe, and good luck.[fishin]
