Danny, are you on http://www.socalcarpclub.com/ ? You should be able to find out exactly how the law reads as to chumming or using pva,method or stringers. I know Cali has some of the stupidest laws when it comes to fishing.

yeah Scott I am on that forum as well... and after having met up with some of them... they basically do everything we've been in Texas... doing it discreetly of course... feeding those ducks~

thats what i figured . it would be hard to get caught it seems .

it is the trout and salmon fishermen that complain about chumming

The only place I've been warned for "feeding the ducks" was at Casitas. I'd advise anyone still be discreet, or smart, about it.
