If someone damages your boat you call the insurance company. You do not jump in someone's boat and assault them.

Re: Riverfront Regional park fishing (windsor CA)

There are fish in the ponds but it isn't very productive as it was anymore just like any good place to fish the word gets out and the meat hunters move in.
Lake Sonoma is about 30 min drive from there. Great Lake to fish especially if you like to night fish.
Good luck and have fun.
