Are there Rules for Kayak fishing

Friend of mine had two kayak at his work, never yak before but yak fishing seem like a great sport. took both yak and work the arms a little to get the feel of it to see how it feels…man kayaking is FUN :sunglasses: but my arm and back took a work out [:0]. my Q’s to all kayak member is…do u have to have a fishing lic to fish?, do you have to wear life vest on all time, what are other rules i need to know before i really get into it?

In SC, if your in a “boat” you have to have a license, either freshwater, saltwater…or both. You have to have a LifeJacket, but it doesn’t have to be worn (unless that was changed after those dumb a$$e$ in Little Capers…), but if your smart…you’ll wear it (so get a good one that’s comfortable), a whistle …and a paddle (incase your in one of those “Pedalcrafts”…they do breakdown, …so you have to have a paddle, even if your not using it :clown_face:). Before sunrise and after sunset, you need a 360 degree white light. Plus if your paddlin’ with your arms, your paddlin’ wrong.:smiley: That’s OK,:smiley: we all start out paddlin’ wrong.:sunglasses:. Then of course, if your kayak fishin’, you have to be able to lie…:smiley:

a.k.a. "X-Fishin’ "

Just so i never forget I keep my whistle in my tackle back you don’t want to forget it. I only wear a life jacket when going out into boat traffic, in back creeks never.

If a man wakes up early to go fishing he 's sleep deprived, If a man wakes up late to go fishing he’s fish deprived
