Why would I? No pirates in the FL Gulf and never heard of a boat jacking. Fish aren’t armed either...... How long you been fishing the Gulf...or was that sarcasm?

I appreciate the response, no experience at all on offshore boating that's why I asked. Mb

Carry an airweight S&W in my pocket even when surf/wade-fishing. Easy enough to keep dry with it in a zip-lock bag.

Late to the party as always. Grew up in South Florida and most of the fishermen/boat owners I knew then had “something “ on the boat when they went out. When the drug stuff really cranked up the late 70’s into the 80’s knew several that acquired Mac10’s. Ever catch a “square grouper” ? Never know who you might run into. Nowadays fly fishing here in Texas my 642 Airweight is my special friend.

Been on many charters out of NC and SC ports. Never gave it a second thought and never asked or ever heard any captain or mate mention anything about weapons. Not saying there weren't accessories on the boats. I doubt most of the guys I fished with even owned a handgun or rifle. Six packs aplenty, six guns not so much.
