FLORIDA — Florida residents and visitors can fish without a fishing license during two license-free weekends this month, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).

The license-free fishing days are June 4-5 for saltwater fishing and June 11-12 for freshwater fishing.

License-free fishing days provide a fun opportunity for new anglers to try fishing for the first time or experienced anglers to introduce a friend or family member to a new hobby.

The fishing license requirements are waived for all recreational anglers during these dates but all other rules including seasons, bag and size limits still apply.

The saltwater waiver applies to any recreational activity requiring a saltwater fishing license (e.g., crabbing, lobstering, scalloping, etc.), whether fishing from shore or a boat.

A snook or spiny lobster permit also are not required on these days, however, always make sure to check recreational regulations.

Plan your trip with information about places to fish.

Looking for a freshwater fishing spot? Some of Florida’s freshwater lakes have special largemouth bass swimming in them, worth big prizes! Join our TrophyCatch program’s 10th season and learn more about the 10-Tag Celebration on TrophyCatch.com.
