Florida Fishing License
By Ian Pennington

If you live in Florida or plan on visiting the beautiful state anytime soon then you may want to consider purchasing a license. Many times when an individual hears the word Florida what they think of is fishing. Perhaps this is because the State of Florida is known for having a lot of rivers and lakes in it. Then again it may be because when you look on the map of the United States of America and see Florida (that state at the bottom of the map that sticks out) you see that the ocean surrounds it.

Yes, there is no doubt in Florida is very fun. In fact, we live in Florida and go nearly every weekend but there are some things that you should know before you go in Florida. The one important thing we need to tell you about is a Florida license. The truth is that it is actually against the law if you fish in Florida without first obtaining a license that is in your name. You should also know that if you get a freshwater license this does not mean that you can fish in the ocean. Florida law states that you must have a freshwater license for in lakes, rivers and streams, but you must have a salt water license for in salt water such as the ocean.

When it comes to the requirements and regulations for in Florida you are going to find that they are easy to understand. If you are sixteen years of age of older and from a boat then you

must have a license. If you are on a charter boat then you should know those anglers are being covered. If you are a resident in the State of Florida and you will be from land, a dock, a pier or a bridge then you do not need a license but if you are a non-resident then you will need to obtain a license from Florida before you start fishing.

There are some exceptions to the license rules in Florida. Any Florida residents who are in the United States Armed Forces and are not stationed in the State of Florida and come home on leave for 30 days or less. Also if you are a Florida resident over the age of 65 and you have proof of your age and residence you will get a no-cost license from any of the tax collector's offices. There are a couple other exceptions as well. There are many ways you can purchase your Florida license. You can go to a website and purchase one, call a number, go to a bait and tackle shop or a tax collectors shop.
