I remember the very first day I ever went kayak fishing. We got to Long Beach harbor, set up all our gear, extremely excited, just about to paddle out and I realize I forgot my license. Sat there for a few minutes, "Oh I should just head out, what are the odds I'll get checked" etc etc.... Quickly realize that's not gonna happen and there's no way I'm heading out without my license. So I shoot back home and grab the license and we head out to fish all day. On the way in, we're approached by dfg on the water! They we're really cool and polite but thank the lord I wasn't dumb enough to paddle out without my license. Long story short, that was the only time, EVER, that I was checked for my license, through all the times ive ever fished my whole life. Don't forget your license!! (Or your saltwater stamp)
