Have you always wanted to try your hand at Florida fishing? They offer license-free saltwater fishing on June1st and 2nd and license-free freshwater fishing on June 8th and 9th. During those 2 weekends a fishing license is not required for residents or visitors. They offer this during National Fishing and Boating week, (NFBW). Who knew there was a week for that? NFBW is a national celebration of fishing and boating, an event that highlights the importance of recreational boating and fishing in enhancing our quality of life and preserving our country’s natural beauty. This year the event will take place on June 1-9, 2019. Learn more about National Fishing and Boating Week and much more at MyFWC.com/License. Who needs a recreational hunting or fishing license or permit? Well basically everyone except on the above weekends. Florida residents and visitors are required to possess a Florida hunting, freshwater fishing or saltwater fishing license when engaged in fishing and hunting activities. Hope you catch a big one! Or at least a story about catching one anyway!
