Need a Fishing License?

You need a fishing license fast.  You have planned and prepared and the morning you are going out fishing on your new boat has arrived!  At 6:00 a.m. you realize that you have no fishing license and you don't want to meet the local FWC officers under that circumstance.

You don't need to find a bait and tackle shop and you don't need to get on the internet.  Dial 888-347-4356 (or 888-FISH-FLORIDA) and have your credit card ready.  You will be given license numbers over the phone and that will save you if you get pulled over.

If you are unclear ( as most of us are ) about what species are in and out of season, you can go to the FWC website and print out the regualtions.  Go to www.myfwc.com and click on saltwater regulations.  Just be sure to know what county's waters you are fishing and know when you are in state waters, and know when you have crossed into federal waters.  The regulations often differ.

Have fun and leave some fish for the rest of us!
