What gets me mad about the article above is all the folks fishing with someone visiting from out of state acting like needing a license was strange. Guess what, you out-of-state leeches, you have to buy a license no matter where you fish from, no matter if it's fresh or saltwater, beach, shore, pier, jetty, boat, etc. If you aren't a resident and want to catch fish, buy a @#$%&$#@ license and learn the slot and daily catch limits!!
im all for it. why do we need a license to fish in freshwater? so make it salw water also. fishing license for fishing in general. that would stop all the freakin git r done's from putting a 4 lb pinfish on their line and letting it swim and tangle all the lines in the water within 500 feet of him.. lol..
man you guys are being hard on us poor rednecks 😆
i do think there should be a over all fishing license!
Yep, one license for all fishing statewide would make more sense. Fresh and saltwater used to be controlled by 2 different government agencies, so when they decided to license saltwater a few years ago, you had to have 2 separate licenses. There was a Freshwater Fish and Game Commission, and a Marine Commission (something like that) and then a few years ago they combined them into the Florida Wildlife Commission. So it's time to combine the licenses, too. Imagine the savings to the FWC budget, only having to track and make one kind of license.
And instead of a new paper license each year, make a plastic one good for 10 years or so, like a driver's license, and then each year send out a small sticker like you get for your license plates (only smaller!). Stick that on the plastic card, and you're good to go. Damn thing can get wet, sweaty, whatever and not be ruined.
