I used to fish the rock qauries/ gravel pits around LA several times a week but I havn't fished them in at least 10 years. I always would carry my license and always practiced catch and release. Looking back on it I can say with out a doubt that was the best freshwater fishing I have ever experienced and I do a lot of fishing. The bite was consistently WFO at these lakes but It was a lot more hectic at those spots then the spot your talking about. I never had a run with the DFG but We did have a run in with an armed Care Taker once, and there was another time we had to make a swim for it to avoid being attacked by a guard dog. Plus we had a run in with some of the Gangsta Taggers who claimed the area as their turf but on a positive note they did give us permission to fish the lake and warned us that if the sherrif caught us in there we would be going to jail. Although I would like to fish those lakes again some day but I doubt I will.
