I'm glad you were just cleaning clubs and not flipping burgers. I don't see a reason to hate someone just because they've been successful in life.

Just for clarification and so I don't sound like the biggest ahole in town, that was 25 years ago and I was only 13 when I worked there. When you're 13, the concept of success means nothing because you're too young to comprehend the true value of it. My reasons for working there: it was walking distance from my house, it was great money, and I golfed so this job was a no brainer for me. These 'members' I catered to were always drunk, always had a threatening demeanor towards my coworkers and I, screamed and cussed in our faces at will. 1 guy raised his fist at us multiple times. I don't care how much money you make or pay the country club each year, you're NEVER entitled to treat a young teenager that way. So, I reacted the way a 13 year old would react, and cleaned their clubs with my spit.
It had nothing to do with success, and being successful entitles people to NOTHING but their own money....

When I was a kid,we used to fish the coarse next to los al race track.We would bring a small piece of baloney and catch the 1st one. (Gill)Would then cut him up into chunks and use that for bait!!Worked like a charm! Don't know if that's legal tho!!!LOL
I hear ya, K-Addict. You should hear them cuss and carry on when you pull them out of some wreck they cause while piloting their BMW at B/A .18! Inside or outside their la-de-da country club, they are often azzhats that treat others like trash. I agree--success does NOT entitle someone to be insulting, rude, aggressive, or abusive. I'll bet they had a real fine time in the drunk tank with the Coachella homeboys and Indio train bums.
I don't think this reservoir is fishable ???
Found this info on a fishing website. This reservoir I do believe is covered now ?
It is on the corner of Palos Verdes Drive North and Palos Verdes Drive East.
Checked out PV Country Club today and the ponds have reeds and look promising ???
The problem is it is in front of the clubhouse although it bushes/trees on one side.
If anyone has any info on these spots and don't wish to post it then send a PM.

I fish there occasionally and I use 4lb test because it has clear line that won't spook the fish and I use gizits which look like little 1 1/2 inch squids that inmitate minnows for the bass. I usually jig it when reeling it in to give more vibration to the fish. Would you happen to know what other fish other than bass live in that lake?
I think this is the spot in question:
Sounds like it was drained in 2011: http://www.dailybreeze.com/news/ci_19041185
I've fished San Dimas golf course a bunch of times at night, weekends are tough especially during wedding season. There are 3 ponds and I've caught fish in every single one mostly 2-3# but there are some that get up to 6#. It can be sketchy and watch out for skunks.
I've also fished Sierra la Verne and caught a couple 3# bass but there are so many houses around you can't make a noise or turn on any lights. I wish this was legal, because the fishing is just too fun and easy but they can bust you for trespassing.
Boy some really just don't get it, amazing first post.
I miss the days where first posts were of someone who wanted a species that they caught identified and we all identified it as a "Squawfish."
