IMO if you have a beer or two (depending on your tolerance i guess) and stay sober and functional and remember to be safe, there is nothing wrong with sipping a cold one while fishing.

Okay, next time out, I'm looking for you, please make sure you have an extra one :cheers1:

Holly cow .......... have a beer, have a cigar, and enjoy all the ocean and nature can give you.

X-2, and share that shit with your kayaking brothers and sister's!:cheers1:

sarcasm at its finest! ;)

Haha wow thanks for all the advice. I just was lookin mostly for a yes or no. I save my heavy drinking for land always when I am the one who is in control.... I was just curious as to the regulations to bring out maybe a tall can or two to sip on throughout the day. Definitely would never take it to a level of intoxication that would even remotely be of question. Just a pleasure beer as I do enjoy beer quite a bit. Anyway thanks again for settin it straight for me.

In that case...
Yes
:cheers1:

Did you guys ever see Floatopia in Mission Bay? There were some drunk ass people out on pool floats, rafts, surfboards, kayaks, canoes, etc.

Go for a paddle, have a beer, no one is going to bother you, unless you give them a reason to.

Heard of a guy in Norco that got a DUI on a horse ,he was passed out ,but the horse had been to and from the bar so many times it knew the way home ,the rider fought it and got charged instead for having a stray animal on the lose .What a world

Dude, put it in a flippin sippy cup if you must have your beer.


Don't make this a thinking sport.......use your melon, don't pound a 40 ouncer in front of the CG, patrol boat and you'll be OK.

Beer can be pretty handy in a time of need. I was in need last year, saw Greg on his skiff with his gal decided to offer up a couple cold ones and scored a pass of the candy in return.

Amazing how a couple of beers can turn into :wsb:

In California kayaks are not considered to be boats or motor vehicles so you can't get a BUI/DUI. There is no law against drinking beer while kayaking. Never trust advice from strangers on the internet. Ask me for a beer if you see me on the water, I've always got a spare cold one.

you will get hit with a BUI!!! And remember State and Local PD might have a standard but the Fed(USCG) has another. And I have dealt with both and work with them so just giving you guys an educated answer. You can get hit with negligent operations too. All I am saying is that if you do drink don't be stupid about it and endanger yourself and others. other than that crack open a cold one.

yeah I think this horse is dead enough....now let's go fishin':reel:

I'll be honest I don't feel safe without beer. You have a sea lion jump on your lap, shark come at you, a rogue kayaker, or private boater...... That bottle of tasty cold beverage comes in handy :D:cheers1:

projectile beers?= alcohol abuse....:rolleyes:

Joe, we can always count on you for sensible talk. Thanks for keeping it real. :you_rock:

This is the best advice from this thread. It says it all.
