The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is hosting two license-free fishing weekends this summer. These events provide an opportunity for residents and visitors to fish without a license on June 7-8 for saltwater fishing and June 14-15 for freshwater fishing.
The FWC encourages people of all ages and skill levels to participate in these weekends, offering a chance to explore Florida’s diverse recreational fishing opportunities. Whether fishing from the shore or a boat, participants can enjoy various options across the state.
While no license is required during these weekends, other regulations such as seasons, bag limits, and size limits remain in effect. Those interested in renewing or purchasing a fishing license can do so at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com.
For those new to fishing or looking to improve their skills, the FWC provides resources on its website. The FWC’s fishing basics web page offers tips and information for beginners or those seeking to refresh their knowledge.
Additionally, MyFWC.com provides details on where to go freshwater or saltwater fishing and how to locate nearby boat ramps or piers. Anglers can also participate in FWC’s recognition programs like TrophyCatch and Catch a Florida Memory for chances to win prizes.
