I met with the Port Orange PD today to make sure that we are all on the same page; Everything went very well and I'm sure we will have a great day.
As long as you are fishing and remain in the general fishing area you are OK to open carry. No problem if we need to run to the restroom or want to put some burgers on the grill there near the peer. Open carry is also fine directly on the way to and from where you will be fishing. Making a pit-stop at walmart or going inside the gas station would be treated as a detour and result in a less pleasant day.
The Port Orange PD did recommend arriving early to make sure we get good parking spots. As always, expect a parking ticket if you illegally park at the port orange causeway park.

Even with the weather forecast being on the wet side we still had a total turnout of about 15 people. Everything went very well and the exchange with the News Journal reporter seemed positive.

Expect more events in Melbourne, Lake County, Jacksonville, and Orlando.
