I'm frustrated so excuse me for venting.

I live in the Long Beach/Orange County area and tonight there's a full moon, but like any other night - there isn't anywhere I can go to fish that's legal and free. It's sad that we live in an area that doesn't provide us many opportunities to fish at night. Even if I wanted to pay to fish - most places don't have night fishing during the week. I'm not a member of a private lake and I just want to fish. I'm not interested in covert fishing trips to golf courses, etc., but I sure would like to fish.

Peck Road is free - but you can't fish there after a certain time. I could fish Cerritos Park Lake - but puhleeese... that little cement pond is not my idea of a fishing hole. I fish Eldorado Park - but the rangers there run you out at 8 p.m. sharp.

I envy those of you who live in areas where you can venture out to a lake day or night, launch a tube and not get hassled or have to pay.

If there is a place within reasonable driving distance that I'm not aware of that allows night fishing - even during the week - I'd sure like to hear about it.

Anyone else share my frustration?
