well the main reason they dont let you fish at night around here is because the public as a whole is not responsible and mature enough. and there are too many people.Laguna Niguel lake stopped night fishing because the people on the shore figured it was ok to poach bass and Cats at night. they either took bass or took to many cats. also there were fights, music, and drugs going on, not to mention tons of trash. just because its dark doesnt mean you can litter. im sure you would not want to be responsible for this if you were the owner of a lake. on the over crowded note, people were being hit by large sinkers in the middle of the lake by people with surf rods who just had to be in the deepest part of the lake.

im not saying that this is you but there are people out there who ruin it for others. Also if there was 24 hour fishing at alot of lakes would be fished out and trashed quicker. there is just not enough water for everyone....except that huge lake they call the PAcific....thats a different story.

Save a wave, Ride a surfer.
