I just started kayak fishing within the past three weeks, I was curious if there are any area in the Pinellas Area that have restricted fishing laws?? I'm just trying to avoid a fine when possible. Thanks

Best known are the Weedon Power Plant, Apollo Beach Power Plant, a few areas at Shell Key, Manibirtee Key, Macdill. I may be missing a few.

A few with the $100 ticket are not laughing too much.

If they ticket you it gets you access for the day thought, right?

NOT... so the FWC told me last year ... I didn't get ticketed because I wasn't in the area marked but a nearby kayaker did.

Probably get another ticket when they pass through again. FWC sense of humor not so good. John
