What's the law on alcohol and kayaking?? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Not saying getting blasted just having a couple of beers, and maybe even a cigar... Come on sometimes on a boat by yourself it's just the freedom. Maybe you don't have a beer and you just have a coffee. That's cool too... But the whole idea is to have fun and I don't want the Coast Guard rolling up on me for a beer.

Just drink your beer and be responsible. I think everyone on this board that partakes has a few cold ones on the water. Shiiiit I've made a thermos full of ice cold Margarita to take out. Complete with plastic Margarita glass, lime and salt. That was a great day

The coast guard is in the bay busting drunk powerboaters. Never seen one in LJ. Always have a sixer. I do. You make more friends that way.

Per Ca. Code 548245.42. Any person that is engaging in fishing out of a kayak in California waters that does not have beer on board. Will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the fisherman's code of conduct and such punishment shall be to be keelhauled under a Pa 14 until said fisherman has seen the error or his (or her) way and has bought beer for every fisherman on the water.

I love it! I always take a six pac of Tecate (in cans of course). In the 9 to 12 hrs spend fishing and paddling my x-factor I never feel like I'm too drunk. The amount of time and work out lets my body process it so there's no ill effect. I like Will's idea of the thermos with margaritas, plastic glass and salt, might have to try that on a trip this summer. Tight Lines

Should be a law against drinking Tecate

which is better for you, alcohol or weed?. would one or the other would help impair my judgment to the extreme ? need some rock solid info from you pros out there.

Gotta have brews on board. I'm an IPA man myself, so with ballast point using cans now, I can bring bigeye and sculpin on the water with me.

Extreme? Try both at same time. Just make sure your PFD works.
