License-Free Saltwater Fishing Saturday In Florida

September 5, 2014

Florida residents and visitors are invited to participate in a saltwater license-free fishing day this Saturday, when the requirement to have a recreational saltwater fishing license is waived. All other regulations such as seasons, size limits and bag limits still apply on these license free days.

““The license-free fishing day is a great opportunity for families to enjoy the incredible saltwater fishing opportunities that Florida has to offer. Florida is the fishing capital of the world and a license-free day is the perfect opportunity to try fishing for the first time. I hope Florida’s families use this Saturday to enjoy our waters and great weather while catching some fish,” said Gov. Rick Scott.

Another license-free saltwater fishing day is set for the first Saturday after Thanksgiving (November 29).  The first Saturday and Sunday in April (April 4-5, 2015) are the next license-free freshwater fishing days.

    I’ve never understood why anyone would need a license to salt water fish. God put the fish in the ocean and I need a license to reap of that bounty?
