Does anyone know if the bay bridge is open still?
Video - https://youtu.be/2l2n4mW4WfE
You all don't wanna miss this epic fishing voyage that me and the squad went on the other weekend here in Escambia Bay! All in all it was a great trip with a wide variety of fish and different species. Stay tuned and make sure to watch the whole video and see what I and to see my buddy Jack lose one of the biggest Hybrids I've seen! οΏ½οΏ½
I'm going to be moving to the East side of Escambia Bay in March. I've always been a freshwater fisherman and never had much opportunity fish saltwater. But now I'll have an opportunity to fish off of a pier into the bay whenever I want! I'm looking for some beginner's advice. What kind of tackle do I need? What kind of line is good? What exactly can I catch? Etc etc. Do I need a fishing license if I'm fishing off of a private pier?
I'm also thinking about getting a kayak when I get down there so I can putter around the bay and fish different spots.
Any advice is welcome! I'm excited to move down to the Pensacola/Milton area!!!

Governor DeSantis has indicated he would be willing to sign a constitutional carry bill if sent to his desk. (Article link below.) Could we be looking at Florida joining the other constitutional carry states?

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all! Anybody got anything good on their list to Santa? I've got a CZ TSO on my wish list, but first I'll have to convince Santa I've been good this year. I have to hand it to him, though: sneaking in to gun owners' homes at night takes a big pair of brass ornaments!
I don't expect a whole lot of activity this week, so we may not have a legislation review post next Sunday. May your holidays be merry and bright, friends!

County Level Vaccination Data for Florida (from CDC, on Wed Nov 17 2021 10:59:46 EST). I will post these a couple times per week, as I have time available to do so. This is best viewed in new reddit, as old reddit cannot handle 17 columns very well. This is a raw dump from CDC, only changed to reformat the CSV into reddit markdown table format.
