I surffished gravels yesterday in the later afternoon. The sheriff guy on the quad came over and asked if I had my license. I said, "yes, it is in my bag", and he was totally cool with me and didn't even check the bag! I thought the marine reserve was on the south side of the headlands and not on the north side at strands! It should be fine to fish there with sandcrabs, unless like Shorepounder said (nice Redondo flattie by the way!), it really is part of the reserve...I don't think it is though. The fishing at gravels was crappy by the way...too much kelp! Only caught/released a few perch. Spooked a corbina that was about 3 feet from me while digging sandcrabs...it scared me more than the fish!
