What are some of the laws regarding kayaks for fishing public waters?
Does it have to be registered?
Anything else we may need to know?

You also are required to have a sound making device. This can be just a whislte.
I was under the impression it was just in federally controlled waters (IE Coast, Great Lakes), but either way I would highly recommend having one just to be safe (as far as regulations and safety go). I know I always have one.
Correct but it is HIGHLY recommended and I highly recommend it also.You are correct Zach. You are not required to have a sound making device in GA state waters if you boat is less than 26 feet. However, like you stated, you must have a sound making device in federally controlled waters, no matter how small your boat is.
