East Shore Castiac Lagoon is open to fishing 24 hours a day. Quail Lake is also open to fishing 24 hours a day. It's a bit far for most of us. It's too far for me to go althought the bass fishing can be good there. Plus they have smallies, stripers, and large mouth. Gotta love a variety pack. Still far I'm in SGV. You can fish Puddingstone till 10 pm.

Those damn gill netters are at it again huh. They had problems with them in the past out there. I know they've been at Legg Lake too recently. Ok that is worthy of an entirely different post. Back to the after hours freshwater. I believe you can fish Irvine at night and it does have some decent bass fishing. Only catch is that you have to pay.

I know at Legg Lake if you park outside the park or even better you have someone drop you off you can fish at night depending on the cops who are patrolling it. There are no signs posting park hours and you will see other fisherman. Depending on the officers some say you have to leave the park while other officers may ask if they are biting? If they ask if the bass have been biting lately if it's dark the answer would be yes.

WARNING! Beware there are few cops patroling this place that fall under the group of cops that give the force a bad reputation. Two cops asked where asking anyone fishing to see their license. Tney asked me to see my license and I wanted to say this is not your juristiction. I turned around as I fishing and heard the officer ask. I was expecting to see a DFG but it was Montebello PD. The LA county Sherrif also patrols this park. I didn't want to question the cops authority because I felt that he would have had a fit about it so when I turned he saw that I was wearing my licencse and said thank you. I decided to just let it go at that. Plus one time I was buying an ice cream from one of those guys pushing an Ice cream cart he charged me a $1.50 my Dad asked him in spanish why he charged so much and he explained that if he wanted to sell Ice crean at that park he had to pay off the police so he had to charge more to cover it. Now that's just not right. Ok I'm getting to far off the subject again.

Hey man you live in long beach. You've got all kinds of fishable night time water right in your own city. Just grab your freshwater bass gear and head to the dock of the bay. You'll have a great time.
