Damn Brian, way to lay down the LAW!!! The way I see it, there were many times I probably should have gotten busted while fishing on private properties(ie: golf courses, private communities, after hours at public parks, etc.) but if you're willing to pay the ticket it's up to you. Fishing has kept me away from many late night activities that could have gotten me into even more trouble. Don't let someone else hammer on you for fishing wherever you want, it's your risk and your fine if caught. I'm sure that poaching is the number one priority of Lake Elsinore law enforcement, sure they'd love the heads up on the areas biggest criminals GK.
