Besides the MLPA regs at that location, you may be dealing with federal and local regs also. Cities and counties can add regs (like proximity to structures) that also infringe on our right to fish. The fed gov can also add regs (like they have since 9/11) keeping us away from areas they consider to be of national interest. Most docks, jetties, piers, etc. have proximity regs that (while seldom enforced) are still enforceable. The worst part about all these controls is that most of these agencies dont know more than just their version. I have been told anywhere from 50' to 100 yds from the rocks at San Pedro/Long Beach and 300 yds from the beach in Redondo.
