License-Free Freshwater Fishing This Weekend In Florida

April 1, 2017

This weekend offers freshwater license-free fishing in Florida for residents and visitors.

On Saturday and Sunday, April 1-2, the freshwater recreational fishing license requirement will be waived. All bag limits, seasons, and size restrictions will still apply.

Governor Scott said, “This weekend’s license-free fishing days are a great chance for families and visitors to enjoy the spring weather and experience the many fishing sites Florida is well known for. Florida is proud to be the Fishing Capital of the World, and I encourage everyone to take advantage of the license-free days this weekend.”

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Chairman Brian Yablonski said, “If you’ve never been fishing before, this is a great opportunity to get out there and give it a try, or, if you’re a seasoned angler, take a friend or family member who has never been. They just might learn to appreciate it as much as you do.”
