Heres my rant. I've been biting my tongue on this for some time; previous posts have had the same tone. I've had the opportunity to work hand in hand with the DFW on large projects all across California (I work for an OSRO, my most recent stint was chauffeuring 4 DFW employees around an oil spil for 8 days straight, 1 biologist, 1 warden, 2 officers), and I can personally vouch for the generally happy demeanor most of them have. One thing that I feel gets overlooked by most of us (who just simply don't know, not anyone's fault) is that patrolling the beaches is just part of their job. Each of them has a specialty, and to be blunt, their personalities typically reflect their job title.

Having that said, next time anyone has the opportunity to talk with the DFW, ask them what their title is. Is he/she wearing a gun? If so, youre probably looking at a warden. You can figure out a lot about how the person is as a human being, thus giving you an indicator about how to talk to him/her. Be kind. They are enjoying the same sunshine you are. This "piss on their tire" attitude will make it worse for all kayak fishermen.

Edit- After I re-read this, it sounded a little harsh. You should know this isn't a dig at you, just the statement. See you OTW.
