Help Save Laguna

[FISHIONADO]

one more thing, here's a big "FUCK YOU" to all the people who sat on the sidelines during the MLPA process and did nothing. We could have used your help the last two years.

In the near future we (kayak fisherman/spearo et.al) must plan several Fundraising Fishing Tournaments in order to assist the ongoing legal challenge against the MLPA.

One of those locations shall be Laguna Beach
-We will not be notifying them of the aforementioned action.
-We will not be purchasing any permits in advance.

We will just show up - in a loosely organized fashion to use our resource
to the fullest extent and continue to do so until we have had out fill.

Our presence is an atrocity to them - Let that be your motivation.

Gotta thank the Montage Resort for all the enforcement around Aliso. They need to protect the $$$/ tourist from the dangerous kayaks, fisherman & skimboarders.

...count me IN for any Laguna nature opps er paddle outs.

I'd be up for another Laguna Paddle~N~Fish OR a Money Between Friends. I would like to get a waters eye view of the future Laguna Nature Reserves on the hill.

Aliso is definitely a County of Orange Beach, not a city beach.

Part of the description for activities:
"Swimming, surfing, skin diving and paddleboarding all take place in the waters off Aliso. Also, fishing is a popular pastime."

I really don't see that they have a legal leg to stand on if it weren't done in the peak summer season and launches weren't causing any danger to surfers or bathers (maybe launch down or up the beach a hundred yards). I, for one, would be happy to take a citation and have my day in court. Apparently there is nothing posted on the beach regarding kayaking, the closest it comes is "no skateboarding".

Besides, my kayak sometimes thinks it's a "sit-down" paddleboard.

For what it's worth, there are a few outfits that offer kayak tours starting in north Laguna. I believe launches would involve some walking for the privateers, but I really don't know the layout.

How much "No Fishing" bullshit can one take anyway.

Anyway, very interesting....
