Help Save Laguna

[rossman]

I used to fish the Aliso Beach area a lot, but what I believe is part of the fallout of this MLPA process, there is now an ordinance against launching and retriving at Aliso. I normally have no issues in launching because it is early, and the gates are usually not even open yet but the last two times when I came back in, I was hassled by lifegaurds stating there is an ordinance against it. I just said "whatever" and went on my way. The change in attitude at the beach was coinsidental to the Survey we were asked to fill out long ago during the MLPA process where we were asked to list specific areas we launched and fished. I'm sure it could be challenged, because I think it is a County park and not City, but I could be wrong.

The launch there can bit dicey, but I usually drag my yak a couple hundred yards to the north where there is a half moon shaped reef, usually above water which give you a small protected area to launch, even in big surf.
