When I was 10 to about 20 years old I fished the sand pits of the San Diego River from Just below El Capitan all the way though mission valley. Mostly shore fishing but in my float tube too. I always had my fishing license.

My question is this: when there’s No trespassing Signs and a big fence and you jump it, like I did a thousand times before, and fish is it poaching? I catch and release, but what if I was to keep a limit of bass or crappie? Is it poaching? Is it wrong?

My personal opinion is no. So let em’ rip, I want to hear your opinions.

Thanks -E
