License-Free Freshwater Fishing This Weekend In Florida

April 6, 2019

This weekend a freshwater fishing license isn’t required to enjoy the sport in Florida.

License-free freshwater fishing days allow anglers to fish for freshwater species without being required to have a recreational fishing license. All bag limits and size restrictions apply.

“Maybe you’ve never fished before or it’s been a few years,” said Jon Fury, director of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s (FWC) Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management. “Get out and give it a try! If you’re an experienced angler, take someone with you who has never been fishing.”

    You shouldn’t have to have a license to fish in the first place.
