Fishing in florida is great fun for people of all ages. Fishing is bountiful in Florida, with a large supply of both fresh and saltwater fishing spots. Based on if you pick saltwater or freshwater fishing, a Florida fishing license has different requirements. A freshwater fishing license is required by the state of Florida for all anglers over the age of 16. Florida fishing license requirements can be more complicated when it comes to saltwater fishing. Angling in Florida is permitted without a fishing license, provided that the angler is not yet 16 years of age. If you are older than 16, you will need a license in order to fish from a boat on saltwater. If you are fishing in saltwater from the shore or from a pier that is permanently attached to the shore, a Florida fishing license is not required. If you are fishing from any floating object boat, that has not been attached to the shoreline permanently, and a license for fishing is required. A local Florida fishing guide can be found at most marina and bait shops, if you have chosen to use the fishing guide. Or, you can look in the local yellow pages for a fishing guide. A Florida fishing license is usually included in the price of your trip. The Florida fishing license obtained by your fishing guide for his boat is good enough to cover all the passengers aboard the boat. Florida fishing is a fun activity for you and your entire family.
