SoFlo to SoCal. How to Adjust - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Windy? I've been hawking the weather and it seems pretty calm for winter. It's typically 8-12 mph with gust up to 40 off pompano. The surf seems more organized here. It's bigger fur sure, but in Florida, at least in winter, it's hectic and unorganized crap.

I'm so but looking forward to the cold. But I'm totally looking forward to some sea bass. I should be back the weekend after next with the yak. Can't wait.

As far as MPA's, my ADD kicks my A$$ so that was hard to read. Do they forbid you from actually fishing, or just from keeping fish? I don't keep anything usually so will that affect me?

I'm no where near the one to explain it but yes it will definitely affect you.

If your fishing in an mpa it will effect you. There are different mpas, you have to look them up and figure out the restrictions. Some are reserves and some are conservation areas, it's your job to know which is where. Does not matter whether you keep fish or not in a reserve, no fishing no take. The eco nazis will call the cops on you...yes they are watching...they have nothing better to do....

Prolly best to buddy up with some of you local guys and never go out by myself.

you can trunk it and maybe wear a sweatshirt at most. For the cold mornings I wear some booties too but nothing more.
