I live in the Temecula area....does anyone know any lakes to take a pontoon out at night??? WIlling to drive...but anything good closer to home would be best for those last minute fishing trips.

I have tubed Corona in the past... and there is most definitely a healthy population of bass. Most people don't target them there though... but you can get them!

But is Corona open at night to tubing?

I've been on lake a night with a dingy with no problems, they never patrol that lake anyway as aone as you pay the entrence fee they don't care. huh I gotta try that lake for bass all I see is people catching cats, gills and trout

Yeah, you have to pay 40 bucks for the overnight fishing session. You can pitch a tent if you feel like staying and trying the morning bite.

The Ocean & bays are open 24/7 and FREE (in most cases)... :thumb:

Nessie,

Besides the required head lamp what other safety goodies do you need to tube at night?

Someone said Canyon Lake, they have a boat patrol that is operated by off duty law enforcement all night long. You will get hauled out and fined. The HOA is really steep and it pays these guys very well. It is "In house" security.

It is "In house" security.But if someone gets you in, you can fish all you want. i was on the water from 12am-5am and didnt see a single boat on the lake. As long as you're with a resident they have no issue with it. ive float tubed that lake plenty of times with no incident.

The ocean and surf is really interesting to me.......I see 'jokes' all the time about sea lions and such...is this really a problem???

I am relativley new to pontooning, and would like to try the ocean sometime......but I dont think I want to get my a** kicked by a SEA LION...or sharks for that matter!!! :|

Hey working4golf,

First off....Welcome to the board!

About fishing in the salt....there is a chance you might encounter an occasional seal but most the time they never bother you. About the sharks, you are pretty safe in the bays but there is a chance they may swim up in there.

Nothing to worry about!!!!

If you ever want to fish Newport let me know!!!
