SoFlo to SoCal. How to Adjust

[Freddy4130]

So I'm here from Ft. Lauderdale finally. I go back for my yak in about a week. I have a Hobie Outback. I'm used to fishing the warm waters of the Atlantic. Typically, I cast off with a bucket/bubbler set up, two rods and my iPhone. I usually, no matter the month, wear board shorts and a hat. Obviously, things are going to be different now that I'm here. Most notably, the water is cold. I usually fish an 80lb rod with a penn battle 8. 65lb power pro and a 40lb flouro leader with stinger rig flat lining live baits. That's it. That'll all change too.

What do you guys suggest that will help me make a smooth conversion? Thanks!
