Bolsa Chica Basin MPA

[Rocketfish]

I know that the Bolsa Chica Basin area, just south of Huntington Harbor is restricted to yakin and fishing. I had a question, however. If you ever go to the inlet to the MPA, you will see TWO bridges. The first one is the heavy bridge that cars can pass over, I think, but then there is a second bridge that only supports people walking over it.

The warning signs are posted on this SECOND bridge, so I assumed that it was ok to fish past the FIRST bridge but just not go past the SECOND one. Is this true?

I'm asking because Benichi and I were fishing here the other day and one of the personnel from the preserve area (presumably) kind of scolded us and indicated that we couldn't even pass the first bridge.
