Understanding The Need For Fishing Licenses

Until recently, no fishing license was required for saltwater fishing in Florida, but now they are required for any type of fishing. Florida does provide free days for those who want to try out the sport before committing to it. It helps to understand when and where you need fishing licenses, and the following article clarifies those issues.

“We give [license] free days to allow new people to gain the experience of fishing and see if they will enjoy it, and also for those who haven’t fished in a long time and want to see if they’d like starting back up,” said Amanda Nalley, a spokeswoman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission in Tallahassee.
