Whent to casitas saturday to fish the night fishing deal they
had, got in line, got my boat inspected went to the cafe payed
my dues went fishing and came back to find a ticket on my
window that said I will have to pay a fine for fishing at night
without paying, where did I go wrong ?

you live or fish in southern california!

hey jeff dont you have a parking pass there? SUCKs man...

Your tournament director should have givin you a Pass. The people on the gate will work with the tournament directors and give them special passes to put in your vehicle window.

You should have got a yellow window tag from the sign up guys to put on your rear view mirror. You still have to pay for parking if you don't have a season pass, but that yellow tag is the key to not getting a ticket.

Thats the thing, I have a annual pass and it wasn't a tourney
it was just an open to the public deal I talked to someone
else who also fished this and nobody gave them any kind
of tag or marker for there truck but we did get a piece of tape
for the boat, go figure.l

I did the same night fishing thing. When I checked in at the snack bar, they gave me a outdated approx 2.5 by 5 slip of glossy paper advertising something. They told me to put it on my dash. Seemed dumb but I did it. No ticket. Appeal it, you have your name and #'s on the sign in sheet.

Good luck!!

I was there Saturday night Also and I saw the ranger placing a ticket on a dodge truck that was parked behind my vehicle. Would that have been you? I thought that sucked. It was obvious that you were fishing either the JT tackle tournament or the Casitas night fishing. Either way, someone forgot to give you a slip to put on your vehicle. In my opinion, if you were parked behind the taped off area for night fishing, it should have been quite obvious to the ranger. I would go down there and asked to see the roster for the Casitas Night fishing. Show them your name on there and they should delete the ticket. I had asked the ranger who did the boat inspections about parjking my truck there since I was fishing out of my friends boat. He informed me as long as I had a day stamp I was fine. When I went to the cafe, I asked the guy there and he gave me a yellow flier to place on my dash. So here is the same ranger saying it's fine, then giving a ticket later to someone.
