That is the idea, especially in Florida. While Florida generally bans open carry, there are exceptions like while hunting, fishing, and on your own property.
Legally, as long as you are fishing, even off a bridge in downtown Tampa or New Port Richey, you are legal. There are people (saw a few on You Tube) who will look for a cop hanging out near a river and do just that.

If they are filming, they are cop baiting and looking for a false arrest payday.
