Dont worry about the reel banging around in the kayak, constantly exposed to salt and fish slime

TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD

Seasonal factors influence species availability in predictable ways: Summer brings peak species diversity as warmer water drives metabolic activity across species groups Spring and fall move fish on and off structure as temperatures shift, often concentrating fish predictably on ledges during transitional periods Winter reduces diversity but produces excellent fishing for cold-tolerant grouper and snapper that become the most active species on winter reefs Post-frontal periods frequently produce aggressive feeding windows as pressure stabilizes and fish become active after weather-related lockdown The practical upside of bottom fishing over other offshore techniques is that moderate sea conditions don't kill you

This makes determining their source challenging and makes derelict nets difficult to track
